and don’t forget if not keyline … u pay $356 to recontract after 12 mths if key line, $152
plus i think 12 mths on, the non key line still not entitled to loyalty voucher
by right i feel it should be given since one is actually staying on and past the 21 months qualifying period
like i said, i think it isnt given but stand corrected
ya lo... lets see if they will give me the 400$ loyalty after i renew, if not i feel like its really not worth it...

So singtel red doesn’t offer $80 handset voucher after auto-renew?
Will likely cancel. But might be too late cause it auto renews on 13 Sep.

Currently on M plan.
Thinking of switching to Sim only + pay later depending whichever is cheaper / better value. Keyline and 12 months into contract. Is the early upgrade fees $152 or much higher if downgrade?

🤣
we will update u tomorrow night
stay tuned 🤣

Sorry, a bit forgot.

May I know where is the preorder link? Is it the same as the one we got after we submit ROI? Or there is a separate email?

2nd question is for tomorrow (Prestige or Red) - have to complete the whole order include payment?

I am under CIS, so is there option to renew under CIS?

TIA.

U are on cis? I’m currently also comparing M plan and sim only+paylater under cis.. but looks like m plan cheaper? If paylater with 12 or 24mths.. does it mean that I can only recontract after 12/ 24 months whereas normal plan can recontract at 21mths. I’m unclear on this.

switching to sim plan also have a stupid admin fee of 30$ “downgrade “

there is 80$ after the renew for Singtel red

just a guide …
if M plan, 12th mth into 24 contract, non keyline
downgrade to Core Plan (SIM only plan)
Price Plan Downgrade Fee = $531.38

was considering but seems not worth it
the only viable option is to run down the contract and downgrade next year
besides the no contract of the Core plan, i was intrigued by the Buy Back (mobile phone) offer
but i’m not very sure of what and how it go about esp with the 12/24/36 mths pay later, and if after 12 mths how much to pay, and even if its possible to get new phone … too many unknowns (cos i don’t feel like contacting ST to enquire)

in the end i guess i’ll just recontract and pay the $356 + cost of iphone 16 this round
or maybe just ask the counter staff on day of collection for clearer pic

use link from ROI confirmation email … unless someone reports receipt of updated email

reg 2nd Q … should be … unless they cock up again esp with the payment for those opting delivery method (instead of collection at ST shop)
i always opt for shop collection so not entirely sure of how long the other group of buyers had to wait to settle their online payments
iirc it dragged on till Sat last year

plus there’s additional $5 cashback off your plan of u purchase handset via pay later option
but like u, i also not sure how or if we can recontract 12 mths later if opted for 24 or 36 mths pay later
the buy back also puzzling

don’t forget to calculate Price Plan Downgrade Fee hor

Was told that the $5 already deducted from the price of phone shown on website.. eg. 16pm 512gb 12 mth is 178$ = $2136.. discount of 60$ (12*5$) cost different from Apple Store.. yes I stated the 30$ downgrade fee also above.. the buy back thing is another monthly cost.. in my opinion is useless.. u pay more

Singtel trade-in price is better than the 50% ganranteed buy back (for pro max. I previously trade in at Raffles City singtel retailer (G-Force) They minus a few dollars due to extremely small cosmetic condition like hairline scratches. Don’t suggest going to an exclusive retailer to trade-in.

CIS plans don’t get discount on key line according to the website. Might not be worth upgrading this year :(

Last time XO288 can recontract annually without penalty right?
Still can use the $500 voucher to buy 2nd phone.

Now Fam Plan, the $500 voucher use to pay for the penalty liao? :(
u need to top up 9 dollar more - STINKTEL pass on the 9 percent gst to consumers now ( after minus off 500 to offset the penalty )

I have 2 lines I’m dropping to sim only plan, but for now only using one to get iPhone PM. The other one I might use to get iPhone 16 plus (want to see color in store first next week before buying), can I still use the other line to get the phone using pay later afterwards - say next month even?

shouldn’t be restricted to get equipment at the time of changing plans over to sim only right? Especially considering sim only plan is no contract?

Anyone able to shed light on this before I call Singtel this evening?
