You can pick up the sim once you receive their email which was sent once you completed the online application .

Do check the opening hours during C.B.

So there is no clear mention of whether if you dun response to the options 1) converting line to $10 plan and 2) termination, what is the default action will be taken on our trial line?

Ya, they never clearly put. There will confirm be a certain percentage of people who will not respond, as most were told it will be terminated when trial ends during sign up. But how sure, there is no contract black n white

how is the speed of paid service?


still pondering, recent frequent slow down of speed of trial service make me hesitate to sign up.

seriously i find the speed of the trial service perfectly ok except that coverage of the underground mrt is totally zero.

The 2GB at full 4G speed can get around 20Mbps of speed. After throttled, the speed is at also around 1Mbps. I can watch 720p youtube video on the 1Mbps throttled speed on my MacBook.

I can use around 10GB a day due to this without the home WiFi.

i got 2-3 active lines under the email.
Login see 1 line...and the site is SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWWw

one email one account.

An alternative to MyRepublic $10 is giga $10 plan, 5GB data with rollover data.

however, 5GB is rather little even 6GB for myrepublic. Personally i find the follover data is not really useful for low end plan due to the amount of data bundled unless one really has very low usage.

Just $5 cheaper. Some Challenger store (before **) was selling TP link 4G MiFi M7200 @ $65.

yeah, only this model is known to have any throttling issue. my friend is using it. For my huawei MiFi, it has seriously throttling issue which is totally not usable.

yeah. there is no clear black and white of the FAQ on this.

i think this may likely to cause disputes later. Either ways they do, if they auto renew to $10, people may make noise due to the charge (of course $10 is still a little amount so this may not be a big deal). If they terminate the line automatically, this may be so serious as some may lose the number they have.

yeah. possible also. haha.

I just terminated both lines with beautiful numbers. Dont give a damn.

Haha. Icic.

Maybe I will keep the number and port it to my Republic life plan and use it as a data plan on the iPad Pro that I am buying in future.

No point having so many beautiful numbers. End up paying more every month

 

[hereiam7788]

True also. As long as there is nice number for main line. Or else can keep the number on those data plan on ipad etc.

There should not be any difficulty. I have no issue accessing using TPG SIM card.

yesterday was the first time I took underground (purple) train since ** started. To my pleasant surprise, the 4G network is finally working. I could watch youtube with no issue. only thing is the iPhone still can't receive calls with TPG and I'm hesitating to sign up for the plan because of this.

iPhone TPG VoLTE is available for iPhone 7 and later on Intel modems, with iOS 13 and later. I can confirm this works as I'm using iPhone 11 Pro Max with TPG.

Alternatively, just install the TPG Voice app to make calls.

The whole of NEL is covered with TPG service alr or it's part of the rail line only?

I received email from TPG that my 50GB trial plan ends end of May 2020.
If I click the "renew plan" does it mean my new plan will start 1 June 2020
or the date they receive my email?

Nice. Circle line still not working?

Finally positive news with regards to connectivity underground/mrt
