MyRepublic Mobile discussion thread

I see.. thank you for the replies! I think it means I have to convert to m1 postpaid then port over to myrepublic postpaid if I want to keep the number. Alternatively if I don't care about carrier, I can, for example, port to starhub prepaid and then convert to starhub postpaid

I see. Yup that's pretty much that's it.

Will m1 prepaid be able to port over? Also is this a myrepublic thing or same across all telcos?

You will need convert to a post-paid plan first. You can get the no contract sim-only $20/mth. Fulfil at least one month first then you decide whether you want port to MR or ST.

The $8 uno plan no more?

 

[Jurong640]

The $8 uno plan no more?

it ended many many months ago. Not available for new signups anymore

 

[Simiishthis]

Any issues on the signal coverage? Hows roaming charges and international calls charges?

 

[PeasantBeing]

MR uses starhub as backbone. So it's coverage is same as Starhub.
You can see the roaming and international call charges in MR website.

sometimes still find it slow and laggy at certain areas, that is before being throttled

I found out that there is inconsistancy on their billing date. Today is my billing date and no deductions made yet. Last mth was on 10th and Sept was on 12th.

Yup, sometimes. People whatsapp me said that he called me, but when I checked missed calls, there isn't any. That period of time was crucial as I was finding jobs

 

[MGeaR356]

OMG so I am not the only one.. Anyone complain about this missed call sms but phone doesn't ring?

Yup. Same. It's very jialat if you are waiting some important calls. It has happened to me before, recruiter tries to contact me.

Ported from sinktel to myrepublic mobile Smart 35 plan for $35 per month, inclusive of GST. There were no additional sign-up nor porting-in charges.

Day x: myrepublic SIM delivered to my address. The SIM can be used immediately, with a temporary "placeholder" number 8754xxxx.
Day x+1: e-mail received around midday notifying creation of myrepublic account containing your password so that you can login and manage your myrepublic account. SMS sent also around midday regarding porting to both sinktel SIM and myrepublic SIM. Says porting will take 1-2 business days.
Day x+2 morning: Porting complete, earlier than I had expected. Old sinktel SIM card has "no service". myrepublic SIM card has the old sinktel number. Job done.
Day x+2 evening: SMS received welcoming me to myrepublic mobile confirming that porting was completed at 01:01 in the morning.

Very smooth experience. I also have not had any issues with receiving calls via mobile, office landline, nor starhub digital voice.

Very happy so far with the service. Reception has been on par with sinktel for me as I do not live nor work in remote areas. Loving the free incoming calls and free incoming SMS, free caller ID, and generous data / voice / SMS allowance. That's 9GB data / 1,000 outgoing local minutes / 1,000 outgoing local SMS.

Mobile app is acceptable; occasional issues requiring a re-login, but also could be due to the porting process and change of number. So far it's generally working well.

I believe that myrepublic has one of the best value no-contract plans there are currently.

Please ensure that you read the myrepublic mobile FAQ before signing up so that you are clear on what the service provides.

Hope this is helpful for those thinking of switching to myrepublic.

Few things to note:
(1) You will need to manually set your APN to "myrepublic" in order to get mobile data. Read the FAQ, please.
(2) You will need to login to your myrepublic account under "Manage Roaming" to enable "Data, Voice & SMS Roaming", or "Voice & SMS Roaming", if you intend to use your SIM card outside of sg. The default setting is "Roaming Off".
(3) Voicemail is enabled by default, which I find annoying. Dial 1334 and follow the prompts to disable voicemail. Probably a good idea to change your voicemail PIN too.

For those ai hiam buey pai, they are not bad. I found out that, that surfing and latency speed for MyRepublic is much slower than my main M1 line. I'm quite used to low latency in M1, but My Republic latency just make me no patience.

 

[smellybelly]

Is the Uno $8 plan still available for new sign up? If not, is $35 the cheapest plan now? Planning to sign up for my mum..

Not my experience at all. In fact, the one blind spot I used to have on the DT line with sinktel is no longer there with Myrepublic.
