Agree with your points



My idea is more about letting restriction kicks in earlier after 50GB instead of 100GB, but increase cap speed higher which will allow 1080p YouTube streaming.



Most will not exceed 3mbps and remember, if no constant abuse, this is as good as an unlimited plan. If you done encoding video, 3mbps is a lot of bandwidth for a video. Instagram is another. So practically you are paying $30 for a 4GB/day, which gives you 4x 45mins 1080p videos, enough to catch all Oppa drama. Of course if you cap it at 10GB a day to prevent abuse by people. M1 and SH already charging $6 for unlimited weekend data (or 8 days worth). 4 times 8 days and $24 is what they are charging but at full speed.




Will not work out, users will be going off instead of allowing telco to sustain that business.



For marketing purpose, this is hard to sell... consumers are happy to give their money if they see the immediate benefit. You are telling consumers “hey we want to cut you many times.... hahaha...



These 2 good plans, I will take the $25 any time.



telling users “I am selling a 3G plan” 🤣 For marketing purpose, you gonna lose 80% of the market but gain 20% abusers 🤣 This will happen when 5G is in full stream but at $20 I wouldn’t want to pay for that.

The $15/20 were designed to make people repel from it, and go for the higher end plans. It's the strategy that works.

The $25/35 will still be considered expensive for people that doesn't realise that 1.5Mbps is enough for stable 720p YouTube streaming. But for the more tech savvy ones, yes it'll be decent.

The $50 plan is for those that want more data but don't always need full speed. It's still a lot of data, and 10Mbps ain't slow either actually.

The $75 plan is taken from the idea of Verizon Wireless (USA)'s Visible plan, where the data was deprioritized but completely unlimited, at USD40. Adding full speed in the bundle to at least make those customers not feel like it's a rip-off.

In case you think that the Visible $40 plan doesn't work, it's clear that it works. A lot of YouTube videos are talking on how it's the best Verizon mobile plan out there, as long as you are willing to give up on the fastest speed possible.

Boasting about 4G and 4G+ speed but plan is 1-4mbps? Thanks but no thanks.

One of the other more feasible structuring of the products will be:

(1) 30GB for $30 no speed cap data, 12am to 8am free unlimited data. In this way still 4G+ speed, but hellgate opened after midnight which most people are sleeping or at home using their fibre.

(2) 50GB for $30, there after speed cap of 1-2mbps for unlimited data.

(3) 3Mbps for $30 unlimited data,.

All the above plans with no torrenting and no abuse by continuously using it.
Midnight free may be good idea. Last time if I'm not wrong there is a Telco which offers free calls after 2359. But didn't hear about it since.

Have a SIM card delivery later, the temporary number is now shown on my myrepublic app with my UNO line. 2 lines are now merged into one account.

Still waiting for the SIM delivery and porting from TPG to MR. Hopefully, the delivery can come in time.

Does free call count in 300 minutes of the lite plan.

I called DBS (1800 111 1111), but my talktime of lite plan has been reducted.

Toll-free numbers is not applicable for calls via mobile, no matter which carrier.
Normal airtime charges apply.

Oh no!

Is there no difference between toll-free and non-toll-free numbers for mobile users?

Singapore default mobile standard. Only 3 number is free

Call your telco 16xx

Call 999

Call 995.


The others all need pay outgoing airtime.


Toll free numbers 1800 apply to landlines

I see. So if my card received on 28 may, by 27 June don't activate they will cancel ah
Yes for giga.

Giga used to sell their plans at $1 for the first month at IT roadshow in Suntec Convention last year. Can terminate the line anytime anywhere.

So, i signed up 5 of their giga line for $1 each to take advantage of those new user promo on Gojek, ezbuy, Foodpanda, Deliveroo, Lazada, Shopee; etc.

I decided to activate those SIM one by one and terminate these lines before the billing cycle is up. They will send me an email once every few days to remind me to activate by SIM.
