How is it compared to vivifi? Seems cheaper and also tap onto SingTel network

I haven't use any of the other MVNOs other than CL and GIGA. CL was very erratic for me and I haven't looked back since I jump to GIGA.

Giga doesn't use VoLTE. So the connection time will take a few seconds.

When someone call Giga user, the process will be like:

Caller connecting to Giga user
Giga user detected
Giga user switches to 3G network
Giga user connected to phone call and rings

Giga still cannot change registered user?

Just note this, even when my father passed away they still didn't let me take over the line. So it is basically impossible even for living persons to change the line ownership.

Not true. CMlink allows me to do that. I converted my 2 lines to my gf name without needing to show my face. As long as my ID is intact, scan and upload, you can transfer to another person.

Why so cumbersome? Need to port to other operator then can change?

U know MVNOs are so cash strapped that implementing features like transfer of ownership isn't allowed, even if you are willing to pay for it.

Circles.Life doesn't seem to allow transfer of ownership too, but at least port-in & transfer of ownership together is allowed, unlike Giga and some other smaller operators.

you pay for convenience. Since Giga is cheap, you don’t get certain feature. Fair and square?

Actually, I feel that all service providers should at least do a transfer of ownership in exceptional circumstances, such as when the line owner passes away.

Just to give u an example, what if the line owner passes away and he was the owner of his entire family's mobile phone lines?

According to Giga's rigid policy, it will mean that no one will be able to take over the deceased member's lines and the lines cannot even be number ported to other providers. Is this even reasonable?

I am sure there will be ways to do it, perhaps not known to us. One of the ways will be to write in, tell IMDA and the telco to make an exception. But there will be legal concerns of the transfer affecting banking services of the deceased (family trying to withdraw the money through using the the number etc).

We can, go through the process of requesting the transfer stating the reasons, or to DIY and port out through Telcos like CMLink or MR.

That's why I feel that I let off Giga too easily in the immediate aftermath of my father's demise. I didn't argue further with them because luckily my father's lines (which also included my mother's line) had not ported to Giga yet, so I just did a number port to MyRepublic (while doing the transfer of ownership to me) before porting to Giga, with all the lines now under my name.
