[OFFICIAL] Singtel's GOMO discussion thread

[inviztj]

Can port out.

Only cons is you have to pay upfront $20

I see. Any other concerns about GOMO I should be worried about? My contract ends in June, so I'm probably switching then (if GOMO is still worth switching to)

 

[shawnng]

20gb for $20
No roaming ATM
Data cut off after 20gb
No VOLTE
Charge advance payment
Cant send overseas message but you can receive.

If you need a Singtel line and reception go for it.
Otherwise you might want to consider M1 15gb @$20 plan (safra additional 5gb free) and free weekends data, on top port over additional 800mins phone call.

Hi inviztj,

Shawnng is right, GOMO does not support roaming at the moment. However, if you sign up by 30 April, you will receive a free GOMO Travel SIM for your overseas use. Worth $20, this prepaid, data-only SIM Card offers 3GB data over 10 days from your desired start date, for travelers to Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, The Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

If you use up your monthly allocation of 20GB data, simply add a Data Pump of 10GB data, 100 mins talktime and 100 SMS using the GOMO app. $10 will be charged to your credit/debit card on file. The Data Pump will last you 30 days from the day of purchase.

We have added support for iMessage and FaceTime, and GOMO users can also receive international incoming calls and SMSes, including OTPs from foreign banks and apps such as WhatsApp.

Thanks for everyone's patience as we work hard to bring other features to GOMO such as VoLTE as well as outgoing international SMSes and calls.

Thanks.

Thinking of changing to GOMO from Combo 2, but reading about the prepaid/postpaid issue has been worrying me. If I change to GOMO and want to port out in the future I cannot use the same number? Why?

 

[Mrtesting]

oh man, then those who really wanted Gomo should think twice. It's an extra step to convert your plan to Singtel sim-only no-contract before porting

Yeah, I'm was on Singtel prepaid
I went to singtel shop to convert to postpaid "sim-only" plan
They gave me a sim card.

Then i have to go online and sign up for gomo

Now, I'll get another sim card delivered next Friday


good thing is that, now i can port over to other telcos lol if gomo isnt as what i expect.

 

[1673Akela]

for those thats on GOMO, since there is not VOLTE, just wondering

1) how is the voice quality like? im assuming it will switch back to 3g when a call comes in?
2) also any other potential problems? for example i read there maybe implications if youre tethering halfway and a call comes in?

You should fix the bad service first. That's why I went with M1 SAFRA offer.

Singtel still has some way to go with regard to customer service.

 

[shawnng]

Singtel Gomo team should look into this.

Hi,
Will there be support for GOMO users who are overseas to receive SMSes from Singapore Banks?

And is billing still every 30 days instead of every month?

Thanks.

 

[cruizer_ph]

according to the GOMO website FAQ, when you are outside SG you will still be able to receive SMS. but you won't be able to send them out nor receive/make phone calls.

 

[OnePunch!!]

Put simply is like a SG only sim

wow, after reading the entire chain of posts, can see that GOMO is working to improve their features.

just wondering are users charged by Singtel or does it show differently on the credit card statement? If it's not reflected as Singtel it means that the entire GOMO is run by a separate vendor, who's just riding on Singtel's network.

Having second thoughts as well but if they continue to improve their features, I think it's a good alternative, with their very attractive 20gb per month.

It's simple. GOMO is created so Singtel would not need to compete with itself in the $20 sim only plan market. If Singtel were to be sincere in improving themselves, they could just upgrade their $20 sim only plan to the same level of what GOMO offers.

Singtel is too smart for that. They know a lot of people will sign up for a phone plan just because it has the word Singtel in it. Why will they want to cannibalise their other higher end plans?

Instead they creat a sub brand to target the less brand loyal people who singtel knows will easily jump ship to other telcos or mvnos when there is a better deal.

It's short it's a smart business move not goodwill or altruism.

Already established that it's Singtel. Not an MVNO.

And yes apart from their initial fkup, they did make efforts to fix it and they're improving their services. What more can you ask for?

Once they offer roaming and VoLTE, it will be quite perfect.

 

[maumu]

I just don't understand why they want to have both GOMO and sim only plans. It's going to be quite grey if they become too similar.

GOMO is targeted at millennials. It's a simple no-contract plan with no bill shock.
