Starhub Giga

[froztheart]

Not exactly being used by Giga lah!.
Tbh, I was enticed to their offering of multiple freebies now and then.
Furthermore, I do not encounter any issues with their network signals whether local or overseas.
The only frustration is their attitude in responding and for my case, do not bother to respond at all.

Yeah, I actually meant that Giga pawned themselves due to the fact of sub-par customer service.
Though, I agree that their offering and freebies are enticing and rewarding.

Any telco in mind to port over?

Depends on your requiremenets like e-sim/budget/usage area's network coverage suitability for the respective telcos (i.e ST/SH/M1). Hard to recommend without such context.

True enough, likely everyone loves freebies.

Although I heard a lot of negative feedback on Simba's local network, but understand they have improved their network coverage substantially, hence would like to give it a try.
Anyway, their plans are non-contractual, so can port out anytime if not in favour.

Not exactly anytime, you have to pay a minimum of 2 mths worth otherwise they charge you a $30 activation fee.

Oh! you are referring to the 90 days recurring payment plan or did I understand you correctly.

Thanks for sharing this link.
I did not realize that there is such a clause for Simba's subscription.
Appreciate your pointers.

Buy again on the last day to extend 5 days. Don’t buy early cause duration does not stack, only data does.

Did not notice any improve or change in their network since 4G network investment stopped.

Anyway any telco sure have blind spot location. I have location where my Giga download faster then friend who are on Singtel.

no issues for eastie here. gomo had issues at our house. but outside house no issue. gomo couldn't send someone anyone come check anything despite routing case to singtel. last time i called starhub they probably sent people to go check (many years ago) for those suddenly dead areas (including ion deeeeep down).

swap to gomo cos game had issues on data/wifi
but swapped back to giga cos gomo kept having issues at home.

wifi is sh. but i thnk house area sh is fine becos the sh building is at end of the road

--- so yes it somehow depends / can just standby this that idea then swap accordingly

I'm on Giga for years until today when my friend called me and missed the call, the auto repky was "The M1 number you have dialed is currently unavailable". How come M1?

I just returned home after travelling for 8 days overseas.
Before departing I managed to purchased 1+1 GB roaming data on 2 separate occasions.
Hence, I have a total of 4GB roaming data.
However, once it was activated, the limitation for usage is 5 days.
So, after 5 days of usage, I still have a balance of 1.9GB but unable to continue for usage.
I have to purchase another 1 GB at $5 to revive my balance roaming data plus the new purchase 1 GB for another 5 days.
In my opinion I find that 5 days is considered too short, because when I returned to SG, I still have a balance of 1.3GB, which means the additional purchase of 1 GB is redundant.
To me, it is like spending the $5 only for re-activation the roaming.

Think of it as only data can stack, expiry cannot stack. Alternatively you should have asked here first.

Ya lor! expiry period given is too short.
I thought by the fifth day my roaming data may left with less than 1GB, but was not the case that's why I wanted to lament on it.
