Oh wow, that's 8GB. $7 sounds good, is there a name for the prepaid card?

If you don't mind the constant change of number, then the cost is actually less than $7 per month.

Upon purchase of the $14 Prepaid Card, receive 4GB (valid 30 days) + 4GB (valid 120 days) and main balance of $14.

Assuming usage of 4GB per month, you can purchase 4.5GB on the 3rd month using the main balance. Cancel this card and buy another after 3 months. So actual cost is less than $5 / month for approx 4GB data.

Added bonus, the data can be use overseas in I think 5 countries.

Check out BoonKang posts on the PREPAID CARD thread, he advises on extracting the most out of prepaid cards a few pages before. He's very knowledgeable with prepaid cards.

If you monthly usage is 3GB, you may want to try going prepaid.
M1 prepaid @ $14 for 4GB+4GB. Works out to be about $7 per month?

that means we need to keep buying card every 2 months?

Does TPG support iMessage & FaceTime on iPhone?
As in sending / receiving using your mobile number rather than your Apple ID email address.

How do you cancel the current TPG free trial plan?
I can't seem to find any option in "Account". Or there is no email contact online also.

Is not suppose to. Some mail order apps eg TaoBao also detect phone location is at Australia. Worse, at some places in Singapore, it is ok.

Is a company totally not really in full stable and reliable operation.

If can do it within 2G, go for circles at $5 plan per month. If remember correctly, WhatsApp usage on data is foc.

Contracted tpg. Yet they brush off saying that is not their fault. It the website disable them. $.$

No action needed if you don't intend to continue use after 31st May.
The line will be terminated after that.

You keep changing phone numbers your friends won’t get irritated meh?

For me I will block unrecognisable numbers given the benefit of doubt... nowadays a lot of phone scams.

People who have the heart to contact you, will want to contact you no matter how many times you change number.

People who have the heart to talk to you, should have the heart/initiative to text you or find other means to contact you.

I don't pick up strange numbers either, and block them if they call a second time.

Yes.
This will work well if you have dual SIM and you are not into voice call.
The 1st SIM is for the mobile number and keep extending the validity.
It is the 2nd SIM that always change.

It's really redundant to do such prepaid with $10 plans from MR and Giga offering 5-6GB per month

Most of their target customers are foreign workers, they can't really sign post paid

I think that the mobile coverage for TPG seems to have improved today in the CBD area.

 

[Sumimasen]
