S10 supports Volte right? so no need to use tpg app, just enable volte

I have used TPG’s Prepaid and the data connection seems promising to me. I stayed at the west and the speed is faster than Singtel’s network, getting about 120mbps download speed and about 4-10mbps for upload speed on my iPhone 7.

I currently have a plan to switch my plan from Grid Mobile to TPG $10 plan or M1’s $17 Promo Plan. As a victim of M1 connection before, I am hesitant to return back to their company network, especially those 0.54mbps speed… thus, I would like to check, if anyone uses TPG as their primary line here? Is it reliable except for MRT? Like normal scanning SafeEntry at shopping malls and the signal for the ground level etc…

TPG is my main and only SIM card. It is well for me so far and I occasionally use it as a hot-spot when I work outside. At $10 per month, the value is very hard to beat. I never have to worry about data busting. The 1 GB per month of overseas data will be very useful as I will travel to Johor again when the travel ban is lifted.

Why don't you stop using your current main and focus on using TPG prepaid for a month to see if it works for you?

U can receive bank/govt OTP SMS? Which teleco you port from? I thinking hard whether to port my singtel main number over or not... Paying 35 a month.

I have no issue at all in receiving OTP SMS via my $10/month TPG SIM card. It works wonder for me since I'm driving and rarely use MRT

I ported from Grid Mobile as it was a bit more expensive and the data was a bit lesser, but it is still a great plan nonetheless as its coverage is definitely better than TPG.

 

[123kidy]

Using $10 plan as well

so far no issues with otp sms too

ported over from circles life

no regrets

 

[my6600]

Prepaid and postpaid all same price and same bundles, why would one go for postpaid unless one is doing porting?

 

[gregory_choo]

how come m1 does not allow myrepublic no to be ported over? tried select circles life and input myrepublic no, cannot also.

because you spammed.

local ones no issue. but i wasnt able to get amazon's. some reported their fb or watsapp otp were no go either. b sure to have a sim for those if needed........

 

[twosix]

my experience is sometimes can receive, sometimes cannot. i do 2fa with linkedln. tried 1 day just cannot receive sms, but next day try again can receive.

Does any of the Google Pixel phones work with Volte of TPG?
