once you port in to redone, is there a minimum period before u can port out to other telco?
Their T&Cs state minimum 2 months payment

12. The Amazing plans do not come with a contract. However, the subscriber will be charged for a minimum of 2 billing cycles.

just to share other telcos with 2 billing/ 2 mth minimum are:

- vivifi
- zym
- zero1
- tpg

personally i think these telcos should name their service as a “2-mth contract”. The champ imo is redone to even charge $10 sim card fee on top of the 2 mths lock-in.

also to note, the 2 mth could start from the 1st of the calendar mth. Eg if one ports in on say 2 Jul, he will have to pay the telco until 30 Sep (1st bill on 1 Aug, 2nd bill on 1 Sep) which almost 3 months

Even for telcos without the 2 mth but charge by calendar mth, eg CMlink, if one ports in on 2 Jul, he will have to pay for the period of 2 Jul to 31 Aug, which is almost 2 months

the telcos which charge for exact period of usage are: giga, gomo, changi mobile & myrepublic. Some needs a few days of notice to port-out before next mth renewal dates to avoid being charged for another mth

if one wants to max out the full 1 month period & change telco without paying extra, can try the “monthly top-up” Plans, eg M1 maxx, Heya

I've just signed up for redONE on 28 June. The port in was fast, on the same night was ported over. I collected my sim card at a shop in chong pang.
The shop guy told me the minimum sign up period is 2 calendar months. That means for my case, june and july. Yes, there is a $10 charge for sim card.
This card will be useful when i travel to msia..

the new $10 plan will be very worth it if they take away the $10 sim card fee.

It will also be attractive if they give 20gb
instead but waive / reduce sim card fee to $5 or below for local data only plans.

Sim card itself should be v cheap to produce? I see online sellers selling msia 1 day roam sim card for less than $2 & include shipping

maybe reimburse the $10 SIM card fee if stay beyond 3 months.

This is to prevent immediate porting

Maybe they can sell 3 mth plan without the $10 sim card fee…

but that said, they are already earning 3 mths worth of subsciption for the $10 plan by providing 2 mth service. So y bother to provide additional 1 mth service & increase cost?

perhaps customers need to stay 4 mths or beyond for Redone to think they truly deserve a foc “prestigous redone platinum” sim card, which is a take-for-granted feature from all other telcos.

How does Red Connect MY works? Validating for the 1GB roaming data is for how long?

edit: nvm I chatted with redone and they mention it is for 30 days

I'm going to JB later this morning. I shall be hanging around the JB Sentral and Komtar areas only before coming back to sg.

This will be my first time testing the data connection quality of redONE in Malaysia since I signed up.

Back to sg now.

Ya! The roaming data connection was super awesome at downtown JB area. 4G+ / 4G 99% of time.
