Sim only plan with 5Gfor iPhone 13pro max

[VodkaPear]

Bro, can share your calculations?

I using SingTel xo68 with cis abt 54.40 plus phone 1178. So calculate by 24 mths total 2483.6.
I also sub to microsoft office family with SingTel (9.90) split by 6 users. And hav weekend data free due to singtel circle And with 5G (although not very useful now).

If i take normal sim only plan at 20 plus phone 1969. Total is 2449. U can c that it is cheaper which is only by 35 dollars. But benefit are less.

The above is based on 2 yrs con n not changing/upgrading the phone within the 2 years.

Bro, you're saying 5G not very useful now, can you be more specific? Should I port in to a plan with 5G or just 4G will be enough for the time being. Are you saying the 5G network coverage not as wide as 4G or there's not much different between 4 &5G network?

I opted in 5G service from M1, super scams !! Only a few area appeared as 5G like Yishun and woodlands mrt stn for a few minutes and that’s all. I see my colleagues using SingTel n StarHub, all shown as 5G network…. M1 really behind times …. !!!!

Why the benefit less?

First of all, many promo floating that is less than $20, for example recent 80GB gomo & 50gb giga that include caller ID with very high talk time and data. This mean cheaper overall. There’s even cheaper option like $15 Changi mobile 40GB although some may argue M1 network reliability but come on, not happy feel free to port out.

Second, contractless meaning you free to jump over any best deal instead of lock-in 2yrs. This means greater flexibility and indirectly more saving

Third, you have CIS, a discount that not everyone have. It will be fair to use the National rate- $68.In addition, no free caller ID for non CIS. Even if CIS only for new/port in or specific companies. For recontract, still have to add $5 every month.

Sorry but its not a fair comparsion. Some companies CIS can be as high as 50% which make XO168 as cheap as XO68.

Fairness is only valid for what is available to the person paying the money.

I have mentioned in my previous post, I am comparing CIS with sim only plan and that's for my case.

Fair comparison is only sim only vs sim only. I just sharing that for my case, CIS is cheaper than sim only and ppl is asking how I do my calculation. I am not here to do a fair comparison but sharing my calculation and thoughts.

Firstly, you can have 20/50/80/100gb of data but if the speed is not fast enough, then wat's the point? like u have mentioned not happy can port out. I am happy with my telco which I willing to spend more to get that stable connection.

Secondly, some users don't mind being locked in for 2 yrs. Some ppl can also upgrade every year even being locked with contract. For example, Singtel combo 12. Of cuz you can say that per mth bill is higher, but I am not doing comparison.

Thirdly, CIS is based on 20% the least discount offered. Like u mentioned a discount that not everyone will have. But there will be ppl with a higher % compared with the 20% that I got as well. There's no ending..

Thanks for reading my post. I just feel that, if u think sim only plan is good, go for it. I am not here to stop u.

I am using Singtel, there is 5G network on most place I went. But I feel 4G is fast enough already. So really depend on whether u wanna spend extra or not.

Thanks for sharing. I think you made valid points. There is no right or wrong, just based on what you need and suit you best.

I am also thinking to go 5G or just stay with Gomo. I might just go $18/50GB and buy the iPhone 13 Pro separately although I have CIS.

 

[Jirachi]

Changi Mobile using M1 network, cannot make it. Go for gomo or giga for better experience. The recent giga 50gb is a good deal.

M1 network is actually not bad. I got a stigma against this service provider until I tried it for myself.

Actually 5G to consumers like us are just speed and latency benefits. However, for industry it’s more important for powering smarter machines and stuff.

Yup, since now I on SIM plan, I intend to try out the different option, including Changi mobile (M1)

I actually went from a sim only plan to a 2yr contract because the diff is too small. EOD knowing what you want is more important.

I really really want to go back to Singtel, but they are being anal with the eSIM support. Even neighbouring country like Malaysia has the support already.

We really need Apple to forcefully remove the physical SIM port eh?

20% off from CIS? same too.

Wanted to check on this, did you get the free caller ID or it's chargeable the $3.9/month? And is it recontract?

I wanted to upgrade from sim-only to xo plus plan but was told the discount was only 20% for CIS

Mine $480 gomo 2 years plan promo of 40gb but no 5G and voLTE
Phone 256gb can get on Carousell at $1900
Total $2380
See whether one needs 5G and voLTE

 

[Kiddream]

Sim only plan definitely offers more value. Cheap and lots of data. A 2 year telco plan is only worth if you have CIS discount. i don’t really care for 5G as it’s still new. 4G is fast enough and it doesn’t slows down when I stream my Netflix shows on the go.

Exactly. Singtel is a big bully. Promote iphone sales to gain market share but giving sub-standard support for iphone users. Apple should do something on telcos who refuse to adopt esim.

Hi can I confirm your comparison for contact and sim only plan with the same telco is based on similar data, sms and talk time? Thanks.
