Weird, I tried to sign up for the new giga plan but a pop up box mentioned that my Apple device (iPhone 15 pro max) is currently not compatible with Giga’s 5G network?

Anyone came across this?

Normal. 5G is not supported by giga now cos using a diff profile from SH. Giga need to wait for apple to approve the carrier first before 5G can be reflected on iPhone.

Oh well, that's the mafan part on iPhone

It's not weird. If you read the past few pages in giga thread. Apple devices are NOT supported yet in Giga's 5G network

Last year MR 5G was very attractive, $19.95 comes with 5G. All other 5G plans (Circles, GOMO, Zero1) are $20++ last year.

Now MR 5G roaming data $7.9 per GB, not attracting anymore

If you sign up for MR at the tech shows their cheapest 5G plan is $15 a month. Very cheap for 5G SA

Last time I checked, that was promo price which only last a few months before it reverts back to the normal rates.

How well does the MR Talk app work when roaming ? I have an M1 Maxx plan but then discovered that they have zero support for voice call roaming. Data roaming is fine for WhatsApp but there are times when you need to call a landline.
From what I have found, only Zero1 among all the MVNOs support call roaming. Are there any other options ? Other than the full price lines from the big 3 ? SIMBA has call roaming but their local connectivity is really bad

Turns out My Republic does support regular roaming so no need to mess with My Republic Talk app.

I believed only for 4G plan. 5G plan unsure if can use MyRepublic Talk app.

Is the 5G plan worth it? I've a S24 Ultra not sure if I should upgrade to 5G plan.

The verdict is why not, if you have extra cash to spare. Supposedly higher speeds and lower latency when the right conditions are met.

But when budget is tight, 4G is more than sufficient these days due to the better coverage.

Like what rssd21 said, just try it if you have the cash.

Do note that MR 4G Plan is on M1 and MR 5G Plan is on Starhub before you switch.

Anyone knows if the new shop at Pasir Ris Mall is opened already? And does it have this plan?

Do note that MR 4G Plan is on M1 and MR 5G Plan is on Starhub before you switch.

Also do note that if one is on the 5G plan with MR and switched to set to 4G from the phone mobile service settings, it is still using the StarHub network.

Did MyRepublic launch the 5G Standard plan lately? Early adopters on the Plus plan are not able to downgrade?

Now that you mentioned, I just notice there's a Standard plan, recalled only 2 options earlier.

Yup. Exactly. And I do not have the downgrade option. I mean I am trying to really squeeze all my subscriptions costs down as much as possible. This world is really insane with all these endless subs.
