[new] Heya.sg

[CPTMiller]

IMHO.
No incentive to test Zero1 leh.
So far best for moi for 4G is Heya.SG and Zym.
Zym 5G vs Simba 5G, SImba 5G cannot come close to Zym 5G.

Now I pre-testing Simba 5G on-the-go via car. Coverage not really there.

It seems only for 5G 100GB plan .
We can only test Zym and Simba.
But I read Zero1 have a 4G of 150GB plan $12.50

Is it easy to port out from heya?

planning to


singtel prepaid>stathub star >heya

i want to badly keep the number long term

 

[XiaoWangZi85]

So far, in my postpaid mobile journey, I went from Singtel to MyRepublic to Starhub to Giga to M1 to Singtel to Giga to TPG (Simba) to Giga, and now, I have just switched to Heya.

Before that, I was using prepaid. My prepaid mobile days were entirely on M1.

Anyway, why I mentioned this, is because Heya, although it is a postpaid plan, its characteristics are actually that of a prepaid plan.

No auto top up one. Nonetheless, at least got give 60 days grace period. If I'm not wrong, it is the same, if not longer, than the prepaid plan grace period to top up to retain the number after the plan expire.

In terms of plan offering, heya gives me Singtel connectivity and 1GB roaming allowance that can use in Malaysia every month, for just $10. It is the same as TPG (Simba), except no doubt the connectivity would be better, because Singtel is the most established telco in Singapore.

I honestly won't mind returning to the good old days (for me, it is secondary school days and Polytechnic days), where I have to every 30 days buy top up card.

I have just joined heya, but I guess just like prepaid card, will also have SMS reminder to top up, and as mentioned, grace period top up after the plan expire to retain the number.

The benefit is that can adjust the monthly deduction date. At the same time, because it is postpaid, next time if want to port over to other postpaid telcos probably won't be a problem.

Will the standard basic 1GB international roaming data gets rollover also? And how much can it rollover?

For 100GB pack. So far other then Simba. The rest mostly using Singtel network eg Heya, Zym ,Zero1.and Vivi
I know Changi also have 100GB at $10 using M1 network.
Is there any other starhub network 100Gb pack too?

No idea. Never monitor.

Anyone tried topping up via Shopee? Able to get the 10% bonus value?

No idea. Contemplating whether I should - if they got $, maybe give us e-sim or auto top-up ?

 

[Tedicious]

#119* will cease from Dec onwards...
To check balance, top up need to dl the heya app

 

[XiaoWangZi85]

The $10 free credit that they promised for new signups before 30 September, took a few days to be credited, and I am pleasantly surprised that the expiry date is actually 2 months later. Really nice.

Yes. I used a reputable third-party seller on Shopee (one with lots of good reviews) to buy the $50 wallet balance and got extra bonus $5 wallet balance within one or two days. You can do it twice and get $10 bonus wallet balance for $100.

Two things of course:

1. This only applies while the 10% bonus credit promotion last, and only applies to $30 and $50 wallet top-ups. It should also work for physical top ups at any retailer. The retailer will top up $30 or $50 for you, the bonus balance is not the retailer's responsibility; that will be credited by Heya within one or two days.
2. This will tie you down to Heya for the longer-term unless you are willing to forfeit the wallet balance.

Not an issue for me as I plan to stay with Heya for long term unless they change things drastically for the worse.

On an unrelated note, Heya will retire the *119# service in December 2023. All transactions and balance enquiries will need to be made through the official Heya mobile app after they switch off the *119# service. Please don't be stupid and sideload dodgy apps.

That's what I like about Heya; the system may be a little like a prepaid card system in that you need to put a reminder in your calendar to top up exactly on the expiry date every month; but other than a very slight inconvenience, they don't make you jump through dodgy hoops or actually make you stay for one year (12 months) to get the full bonus credit (I'm looking at you Vivifi).

$10 extra bonus for port-ins, 10% extra bonus for $30 or $50 wallet top-ups, all while the promotions are valid. It's very clear, straightforward, and easy to understand.

Plus it's Heya, which is fully part of Singtel, so they will never close down nor go bankrupt as they are not a separate company. The worst that could happen is they get absorbed back into Singtel, but you wouldn't lose your wallet balance.

At the current price point of $10 for 100GB no-contract, you'll never get e-sim. Auto top-up is also very unlikely, as it means they will need to invest more in their backend to store your credit card numbers securely.

That’s what I like also. Cheap and simple to understand. No frill no BS. Service is good enough

Starhub has Giga which is still $10.10 per month for 10GB, or $15.14 per month for 50GB, if you ignore all the temporary promotions. That's one of the reasons I left them; they are still charging 2020 prices, whereas even M1 Maxx gives you more data at the same price.

M1's network truly sucks though, and with Heya using Singtel's network, there isn't even any good reason to consider either M1 Maxx, nor Giga for that matter, even though Starhub's network isn't bad, because Giga's pricing is too stupid and hasn't changed for the longest time.

The lowest priority on Singtel's network is still far better than the highest priority on M1's network.

The closest competitor is SIMBA but given the SingTel network that Heya is on. It’s pretty much no brainer to choose Heya over SIMBA

Never even considered SIMBA; even after so many years, they are forever playing catchup; they can't even catch up to M1's coverage, let alone Starhub nor Singtel.

No point giving you 100GB or 1000000GB for $10 if you have no reception.

The seller is e*******G? I want to make the same purchase. Not sure which one is reliable.

That is why I am contemplating mah.
