Any reason why M1 number excluded from port in?

https://changimobile.com/plan/pro?id=152&type=0
If don't port in can choose specific number?

Changi Mobile buys bandwidth from M1. M1 probably put in the condition that CM cannot offer their customers port-in promos to reduce likelihood of CM 'stealing' their customers.

It is because Changi Mobile is using M1 backed network. Just like MyRepublic Mobile, they also have promotions for non-m1 port in customers.

Firstly, they want to get more non-m1 customers into M1 network. Hence, this will increase M1 subscribers base. Hence, I think it's one of the reasons, they don't want people porting from MyRepublic to Changi Mobile to M1 and/to or from Circles.life. It's like 1-1=1. You port out of say M1, M1 loses 1 customer, then you port in to Changi Mobile, M1 gained another customer. Net gain =0.

'Non-M1' means you are not a M1 customer. If my line is under Changi Mobile or MyRepublic, I am not a M1 customer & my line is not a M1 line. If I want to port between the 2, I am entitled to the 'non-M1' promotions.

MyRepublic's FAQ is even explicit in saying this...

6. Who is eligible for the plan/ promotion?

The plans listed under New Numbers/ Non-M1 Port-ins are applicable for new number sign-ups or port-ins from non-M1 numbers only. On the other hand, the plans listed under Other Port-ins are applicable for port-ins from M1 numbers.
MVNOs on the M1 network are under non-M1 numbers.

both are using M1 network

yes but how about network prioritization? which one is higher CL or Changi ? Which one can handle in crowded area better...?

I only have experience with CL in the past.
Many times will have full signal but slow network speed

I don't know, but I can probably guess neither can. You're comparing a no frills low cost MVNO with another no frills low cost MVNO, I doubt M1 is going to put in any effort to differentiate them.

speed depends on location. at home i get 80MBps. at work 20MBps. doesnt matter as long as can watch youtube in train

Ported in last week for the $10 plan. Extremely dissatisfied due to many airplane mode issue using the plan, full signal but can’t use data and have to airplane mode on and off many times to use. Going to port out to VIVIFI next.

Is there Changi Mobile 5G??

 

[CPTMiller]

It seems there is no news on Changi Mobile having 5G at all.

 

[CPTMiller]

Anyone using Changi but the data seems drain faster and finish faster then others eg Singtel.

The 12GB 200 min 200 SMS $8 plan looks good compared to my current Vivifi Lite which gives only 3GB 500 min 20 SMS at $8.80... can save a bit of money (I have 4 lines) and get more data...

Got a few questions:
1. How's the M1 network? My colleague has no issue and used it for years. I have never used M1 network except when it was still just phone calls and SMS only... always been on Starhub & Singtel...

2. How's roaming support? I am only interested in roaming to Malaysia. It's $5 for 1 GB for Vivifi and that lasts 7 days... whereas I think it's $5 for 1 GB and lasts 30 days for Changi Mobile... how's the signal reception? Mainly used for GPS navigation via Google Maps and online searches and text messaging...

3. I presume no charge for SIM cards for porting-in?

Thanks!

Vivifi Lite is very poor value. Compared to Vivifi's own Plus plan, which is $9 for 9GB, 350 min, 200 SMS. If you are happy with the Vivifi signal & infrastructure, maybe just move to the Plus plan instead?

Objectively, it's not going to be as good as Starhub or Singtel, but that really depends on where you are. It's hard for anyone to advise you on this. You could port in to try for a month & if it doesn't work out, port out again. All it cost you is $8.

Nope, no charge.

Hmmm... thanks for the perspective... interesting... my objective to pay the least for an acceptable amount of data... and no one in my family exceeds 3 GB at all... that's why it's quite attractive the Changi Mobile offer... let me think about it...

If you don’t exceed 3 GB, can consider Zero1 $6.90 plan (there is a NDP promotion to get $1 off for first 3 months and $2 off for 1 bill payment) or Simba $5 seniors plan (if you’re eligible). There’s also Circles.Life $5 plan but I don’t recommend as there is a $38 registration fee.

Thanks! But Zero1 charges $10.70 for the registration + $32.10 for SIM card... not attractive at all... I chose Vivifi cos it didn't have any of these charges... the SIM card fee is the one that will simply wipe out any savings... 4 SIM cards = $120+... heh! I don't qualify for Simba senior's plan... so it seems it's kind of down to Changi Mobile at this point... thank you nonetheless!

I think all those fees are currently all waived, totally $0 if you choose self collection as well.

There is no charge at all for registration or SIM card fee for Zero1. The only charge is $11.77 if you choose home delivery for the SIM card. But if you opt for self collection at any SingPost office, there is no charge.

I think you saw this page on their FAQ but it’s no longer applicable.
https://support.zero1.sg/kb/a79/wha...and-what-are-the-available-payment-modes.aspxIt was for their older plans which are now defunct. Current plans all do not have registration fee or SIM card fee.
