Who the fuk still uses voicemail today? Miss call alert is the most efficient way forward. There's no need for long debates.

Caller -> Leave msg -> Voicemail Alert -> User dial into voicemail -> Check msg -> Return call
Caller -> Miss Call Alert -> Return call

It's a no brainer. I can't be bothered to dial and listen to voicemails either.

@alphau la. that's who.

Yes, it will be $10/mth forever. Its unlike some other MVNO which price will change after x months.

the email with password will be sent to you after the sim card is delivered to your hand.

even on the spot registration at their store is also same. within minutes after the sign up process completed.

Honestly, I have not used voicemail after the first year of iPhone 4s.

Why I want voicemail now? It’s not a must but it’s for people who always say everything urgent but they don’t text or call back multiple times. And when I call back, it’s really no urgent. So, if you don’t leave a message sounding urgent, I won’t call back immediately because I got better things to do. Also, it’s for mystery callers or numbers I don’t recognise when I’m expecting some important calls and usually spammers like to call such times. I dun have a PA, so the voicemail is the interim PA.

I think Caller ID should be free (not all telcos) and everyone is identified even for land line. Then I don’t need voicemail.

i think voicemail is a inheritance feature from paging services last time while people used to page someone and leave voice/text messages to others. eventually pagers was killed totally by mobile phones due to the popularity.

i think, it should be very safe. i dun think circles life will even take back the $0 plan which is a legacy plan from users ever until they close down. As long as the telco is still there, the legacy plans will stay. Same to how people hold the UNO $8 still while it is no longer offered.

Same goes to the 3 MNPs too, they dun auto convert your legacy plans to new plans but they may constantly entice you with good deals on their new plans to switch over.

Yes, plans will still be there. Just like the old Legacy M1 unlimited mobile broadband plan, it's still available for it's existing customers. Back then, there was an unlimited mobile broadband plan at 1mbps, customers still holding on to it was converted to 4G unlimited mobile broadband at the same price... till now

I received an email from MR says I will get a 5GB free for some issues last month or April. but to-date I dun see the extra 5GB. hmm....

depends on your billing cycle, when does your billing cycle start ? oh wait, you mean the April issues? I got the extra 5GB in May month. What's your plan?

yeah regretted to cancel many many years back. it only costs $11 for 1Mbps unlimited mobile broadband plan.

Voicemail was never popular with Singapore just like the usual answer machine for landline. I have an answering machine but those leaving messages were spammers. Out of 10 calls now, all 10 never leave a voice message. So, I heck care because I don’t have caller ID for that line. If I’m not wrong, it was the iPhone that introduced Voicemail because Americans love their answering machines.

I would prefer that my callers leave a voice message. I don’t like texting because I find it annoying when the other party turns it into an SMS conversation. Same with WhatsApp. I just pickup the phone and call if I want to. Or video call.

Ultimately, it is for mystery callers or numbers I don’t recognise. I don’t want to call back and only get another answering machine or telemarketer trying to sell me something. Nowadays I just adopt this policy - don’t know who, I don’t call back.

yeah. voicemail is a totally unpopular service in lion city. i think typical asian just does not like to leave voice message.

even now i also do not like. I have not leave a voice message to anyone even on whatsapp. haha.

No need to change since you are running on MR-M1.

Only those running on MR-StarHub (sign-ups before 31 Mar 2020) then need to change APN.

4G unlimited? no hidden terms and conditions or fair usage?

no need.

in fact, even I am using it on a mifi device, any APN works. even i manually set to other telcos APN, it works for me too.


Your MyRepublic SIM card will be available to use upon collection. Simply pop in your SIM card and start using it!

For signs-ups before 31 Mar 2020, you will need to set your APN before surfing. See more details below:

those unlimited MBB users that's upgraded to LTE have like FUP of 1GB/Day, then throttled down (idk what speed).

But at $22.42/mth (or lesser), it's still quite ok.

only 1GB/day? then bohua le. meaning one month one can only use 30GB. that's too little. even with TPG trial plan 2GB + 1Mbps/unlimited, one can use 10GB/day easily.

last time i have the m1 3G mobile broadband 1Mbps plan at $11 only.
