Recently went to Starhub wanted to get replacement to NFC SIM card.

But the CSO told me it is no point to have as it would be on the way out.

Furthermore it is payable and cost more.

No wonder, cause I specifically ask for NFC sim card but dash doesn't work.

Same here. So looks like there is no way to use this NFC SIM for additional function. Luckily I didn't pay extra last tim to get the NFC SIM card.

FYI.. Starhub also stop issuing NFC SIM card &or CSO are told to refrain customers to have this NFC SIM since last time they told me when i requested.

Also Starhub similar Smart Wallet App related to NFC has ceased since late 2017.

However you can still use this NFC SIM for transportation and can be top up via MRT ATM &or EZ-Link App.

Note that the EZ-Link App (related to NFC SIM) may not be updated "live" actively as in delay update (days).

Although i still have this NFC SIM and the mobile line on this card is already terminated but still able to access to NFC credit to use.
For dual SIM slots phone the NFC SIM need to be in slot-1.

I use to have this transit NFC until I change my SIM recently in February.

Previously I'm able to use it for mrt. I like it as it work like a physical card; I put my phone on the top up machine to top up the value I want.

It's useful, I dunno why they cancel this feature.

The feature is cancel due to there is bug with this sim card.

After several months to years of use, subsequently you will receive no mobile signal from 3g/4g, not even after you restart your phone/remove and reinsert the sim card. Both my brother and I suffer the same issue and both of us is from Singtel, sometimes it takes hours of restarting/reinserting to get back signal which last only few days and it occurs more and more often.

We went to Singtel shop and the CSO confirm with us that they will phase out NFC sim and any new line will not be given NFC sim anymore as there is too many reported issues.

Strange thing is my this Singtel NFC SIM can only be detected on my OnePlus phone, one day I switched this SIM card to a Samsung dual SIM phone (one of the ezlink listed compatible phone), but it can't detect the NFC SIM at all.

You can try to download the ezlink app see whether can detect the NFC or put your phone on the mrt topup machine see can detect.

Last time when I still on nfc, I put it on top to topup
