6yrs..........wa power sia.
If the telco or MVNO is unlikely to disappear actually no harm.
I did the top up for others on Sunday but dunno how to participate in the lucky draw and the staff attended to me also never mention anything about lucky draw so I presume the lucky draw is for other promo activities not top up activity. In this regards, Eight's free Mixue ice cream and little lucky draw is more transparent.gadget told me "next time wu such topup can text them wu lobang bo ah"
no need go queue like siao unless sibei free & wanna try luck in lucky draw. wu samseng phones give away....
Many recent 2-3 years ago phones do not have the 5g on off toggle. My 2 years ago xiaomi does not have in mobile network settings. Needs to enter engineering menu to force 4g only and will reset to default on reboot.
For my Xiaomi, I always put on 4g/LTE mode, didn't bother to use 5G
i top up 100 again. this bill no need think for few year
It may not be a bad thing, to lock down the price in the event that if consolidation occurs, that will spell the end of price war, ice age will commence.
Many longer than singtel 2 year contract.
If Singtel monthly plan is another telco yearly plan cost, isnt it makes every sense for one to commit many years or even forever to this telco plan?
Death is one reason to avoid excessive wallet balances. Traditional mobile contracts typically waive early termination fees when the subscriber dies. Mobile carriers such as SIMBA and Eight that allow hefty wallet balances apparently don't provide wallet refunds (or at least wallet balance transfers) to survivors. That's a problem in my view, and I think the regulator ought to take action here — for example, to limit nonrefundable wallet balances to S$120 (equivalent to S$10 per month for 12 months).If Singtel monthly plan is another telco yearly plan cost, isnt it makes every sense for one to commit many years or even forever to this telco plan?
I think $500 is a more practical limit, especially considered the real value may be $250 instead. Moreover, $250 lost is quite small compared to many items overlooked by beneficiary like old bank acc, insurance policies, shares, hidden treasure box, etc by the decease.
Well, there's another reason: to maintain healthy market competition. Obviously the mobile carriers have incentives to "lock in" their customers as best they can. Including their deceased customers.
But there's a public policy interest in avoiding excessive lock in. The public interest is best served when mobile carriers genuinely risk losing their customers in nontrivial numbers when other carriers offer better deals (better service quality, better pricing, bigger allotments, or some combination).Do bear in mind that $500 wallet balance is not actual cash value given the fact that wallet balance is usually pumped up due to 1-for-1 event. And as mentioned, the users are well aware that the value is not transferrable and they are prepared to forfeit in the event of death or giving up the no. or port out. $250 to lock in $4-5 low monthly plan is quite reasonable, when some price plan is charging at $100 monthly, $250 is not even able to cover 3 months for such plan.Well, there's another reason: to maintain healthy market competition.

S$500 is far too high for both objectives (death and competition), in my view. Peg the wallet cap to some reasonable maximum number of base plan months, and you probably have a good number.
