Oh, that means this is not for you. Don't worry. I got the email for maintenance is because I'm on old starhub network, I'm using the old Uno plan.

Anyway, how is the speed going on for you, and are using VOLTE for your voice calls?

so if we are overseas, the MyRepublic Talk app will allow all incoming call regardless of what country to be deducted from the local talk time that we have, and if we were to call to Singapore they will just charge at 5¢ per minute?

Yes, you are right. But take note, when overseas you have to use the MyRepublic app and connected to either 4G or wifi. If there is no internet connection, it will be charged at a normal rate. Also in the app, you have to enable mobile forwarding.

I have a main line with M1, no complaint, since I don’t use much data while on the go.

Speed wise MR is similar to the original M1.

Speed test at my front door with MR. Indoor will be slower. You can see the VoLTE on the screenshot.

Nice, I never achieved this speed on M1. Which area in singapore did you test it?

Nice, good to have Volte. Yeah, your speed test very similar to M1.

I shall see if tonight I will be "ported" to m1 from SH.

thanks. so actually can also buy a tourist sim card and it will also work the same right. cause some of their data roaming rates are not very good.

Yup, you can buy the local sim card better, cheaper. But hopefully, they can revamp their data roaming plans soon. If they can do something like M1 data passport, it will be great!

No issues with M1 network. What telco or MVNO you using now?

My secondary line using old Myrepublic plan using Starhub network. I can say it's bad on starhub. I'm glad that they made the switch to M1 and my primary line is using M1.

I am using singtel now
Dont know if will feel a "downgrade" going to m1

Don't think it is a downgrade, latency wise, M1 is the lowest amongst all telco, lowest is better meaning loading is more responsive. I'm not sure about the latency of Singtel, as I've not yet tried Singtel.

Have been using M1 for more than 20 years. So far so good.

For MR is there overusage charge for outgoing calls? Or once hit quota cant call anymore

 

[stillgottheblues]

I have an old UNO plan, can I update to this $10 plan? There is no option on the app. Also it will be better if the app can handle 2 number under the same name as I have 2 lines.

You still call out after your quota hits.
Excess charges:
Local outgoing calls to local sg number: 5c per min
Local outgoing sms to local sg number: 15c per sms
No excess local data charges.

Nope, you can't change UNO plan to this $10 plan. This is due to technical constraints, as old customers are on Starhub, and new plans from 31 March are on M1 network. They are still looking for workaround to switch customers over to M1.

Anyway,- they are coming up with something for UNO customers. Stay tuned

 

[Jurong640]

Seems like, after the midnight software upgrade for MyRepublic, I'm still on Starhub server (52505).

But still, I'm looking forward to them moving old customers to M1 server (52503). That would enable VoLTE for us. And speeds will be faster on M1.
