My folks don’t go underground, so it’s a non issue. Our Xiaomi handsets are already VoLTE enabled. But I don’t see them on the supported devices list.

Have been using a Xiaomi A1 and using TPG for the past many months. Swtiched to a Pixel 4a recently and still using TPG without problems.

Both phones are not listed on the supported devices list.

You may want to try asking in the forum if someone have the same Xiaomi model as yours and using TPG.

I'm considering signing up for the $10 for 50gb plan. How's the network in Bukit Merah/Telok Blangah and West Coast area? Anyone in these 2 areas can feedback?

Also, anyone using the sim card in a mobile/wifi router? How's the reliability and speed?

Thanks!

Overall I will say TPG coverage is reasonable.
Most places got no issues expect underground on and off.
But their CS sucks big time. No response for weeks.
And billing is in a mess.

For those who need more data. Moreover, there is free IDD Calls and 2GB roaming data too.

free IDD calls only 300 mins? :o the 500 mins is local call only right? :o

2GB is part of 80GB just like our 50GB - 1GB roaming data ? :o

BM & TB indoor residential unit between 15-30Mbps download, upload below 10Mbps. Open areas and inside Malls such as Tiong Bharu Plaza or Jurong Pt normally can achieve up to 80-100Mbps D/L. Didn't try inside MRT tunnels, tiagong not so good OR totally no reception.

Their Billing procedure needs improvement. Started off on monthly basis, then jumped one month without billing and bill twice the next. Now it's back to monthly again. Needs to keep an eye on it unlike with the other telcos :(:(

Their current $18 / 80GB plan is a good offer.

My account shows local data usage as 49.80GB/50.00GB but phone's data counter shows 14.3GB for the month. Is TPG Mobile Management page showing correctly or not I wonder?
