[Official] SingTel SIM Only Plans

[xiaofan]

I went out of SingTel because the signal bar is too bad for my area.

Now that I can do a comparison, the overnight drain difference is VERY SIGNIFICANT.

I am on StarHub now and overnight less than 1%. On SingTel, I could lose 50% easily.

Indeed there are places StarHub 5G plan is better than SingTel 5G plan.

My test shows my StarHub Prepaid S 5G legacy plan (at S$3 per month for 80GB data, special Happy Prepaid Card migration offer) is better than Singtel S$15.28 plan at my workplace and NSL underground MRT stations. But then Singtel S$15.28 plan is better at EWL underground MRT stations.

With both lines on my Poco X7 Pro dual SIM phone (total S$18.28 per month), I have not encountered any real issues for local usages including MRT rides except some lifts. Please take note I commute daily use public bus and seldom take MRT during peak time.

From 12 months contract S$15.28 plan to no contract S$19.25 Enhanced+ Lite plan? That is very likely to be rejected if you have not finished the contract as it is likely to be considered as a downgrade.

By right it should be okay if you change from 12 months contract S$15.28 plan to 12 months contract S$19.25 Enhanced+ Lite plan as it is likely to be considered as an upgrade.

No, they rejected my recontract to 19.25 with 12 months contract which I am quite surprised...

Have you finished the contract? Or very close to the contract expiry date?

@xiaofan

Me too, I've the same problem. My contract ends 15.28 April 2027.

I don't expect this, pretty surprising. Singtel got money on the floor doesn't wanna pick up?1

Ending this Monday 10 Aug

Erm, your contract end date correct for the year? Still got more than 6mths to Apr 2027.

From my understanding, by right, upgrade should not have to worry about contract balance.

It's free money and Singtel should cheerfully accept it - except now it isn't.

I see, perhaps Singtel too rich liao...
Mind sharing what made you want to recontract so early? Same like me, having poor connectivity with 15.28 plan?

Anyway might be a good thing for me for the rejection, saw the improved maxx plan after I submitted, so give me the chance to try maxx.

I'll only be keen to upgrade to 19.25 if the enhanced 2x speed means I can smoothly surf the net / be connected when underground MRT.

anyone using the 19.25 plan and tested the network underground?

 

[jtec14]

Since I won't be able to port out before the 15.28 contract expired so I went to unsubscribe those freebies that will be chargeable after the contract expired and note something from the revised agreement they sent me.
* Not sure if there will be further changes after my actual expiry on 10 Aug.

- 50% discount off the plan price till 2028 i.e. plan remained as 15.28 after expiry.
- caller id fee waived till 2028 as well.
- added free 120gb of local data with no specific duration.

Similar boat. $15.28 and free caller ID till 2028 per new service agreement. The data bundle expiry/add-on looks messy, will have to wait for next cycle to see how much data I’m actually left with.

No difference from all the Singtel MNO plans on a normal day.

which telco can smoothly connect all the time while underground mrt? hahahaha... the 19.25 plan is only the 15 plan with unlimited data and more roaming data in Malaysia....

then the 2x speed or bandwidth means nothing... will stick to 15.28 plan lor

The issue of reception underground is one of coverage.

Priority means nothing if you have no coverage.

there is coverage in underground trains.. at least that's from my experience.

what I feel about the issue is the connection will always cut itself for a few seconds when moving from one station to another.

I read before that it's got to do with the 'handshake' between the different cell broadcasters at the two stations.

From my experience when I was using the priority plus plan , during underground along circle line , the coverage and data speed was much better than the singtel senior $6 plan.

Actually the 15.28 plan was all ok and acceptable for me until April 2026 onwards.

what happened after April 2026?

 

[jtec14]

what happened after April 2026?

Does anyone feel that ever since the recent disruptions, connectivity not as good as before? I am on 15.28 plan.

Can be having 5G + full bars but slow connection, may even hit unable to display page or timeout for payment related.

Feedback to ST, they checking and going to guide me through some checks to see any improvements (still waiting for their responses as of now.)

As above and recently getting worse, I received no network msgs popping up on and off.
