Keep seeing Ads for 100GB @ $10.
So this 50GB (50GB extra) is permanent or just the previous free offer for few months.

Can't find anything that explicitly says which is it.

TPG 50GB SIM Only Plan (EXTRA 50GB: till 30 SEP 2021)

The Seniors Go Digital mobile plans are offered by telecom operators to all seniors aged 60 and above, both Singaporeans and PR (subject to telco’s terms and conditions. There is no application process for Seniors Go Digital plans.

Eligible seniors can sign up for a total of 4 Seniors Go Digital Mobile Plans.

So if I wanted to port 4 lines from my name, to my dad's name for the Seniors Go Digital plan. How should I do it?
I read port-in is done online, then go collect the SIM.

for signing up with TPG, this is the recent reply from TPG as to the porting and transfer of ownership

"Thank you for contacting TPG Customer Support.

Please note that you can port in your existing number from other telcos to TPG, as long as the account is active and not in contract, not a prepaid or corporate line and it is under your name.

For porting to be successful you need to ensure that your personal details which you register with TPG matches those of your current provider.

Apparently, Transfer or Change of Ownership is not yet available for all our plans.
Once it becomes available, we will keep everyone updated by posting an announcement in our website and official social media pages."

Because TPG don't handle ownership transfer as of now, so you need to do it before take up a line and port-in later. The same question I ask from TPG.

Wonder which mvno allows transfer of ownership? Just transfer to a cheap mvno plan then tranfer to TPG.

Some forumer says that China Mobile they do - Person A sign-up, port-in and later transfer to person B at China Mobile. It is put-up in their FAQs - How to port-in -> b. to port-in not registered under your name https://www.cmlink.com/sg/faq/

To my knowledge, those who don't offer transfer of ownership are:
1. Giga
2. TPG
3. Changi Mobile

TPG don't have VoWiFi. Don't mislead.

Activated doesn't mean carrier supports it.

VoWIFI is dependant on whether the phone supports it or not. I'm on TPG and using VoWIFI for voice whenever the phone is connected to wifi.

This is how it looks like on my samsung phone:
