Line is for this trip only.
Getting a plan would still render me unable to use my banking as they are recognising my SingTel number not this esim. Which seems to mean it is unavoidable not to allow roaming on my SingTel number when needing to do banking.

For Singtel I don't see any option, but depending on your reason behind avoiding enabling roaming there might be ways to mitigate the concern.

Having to pay for sim replacement because of service upgrade significantly downgrades the experience IMO.

It'll be the cheapest 5G plan in Singapore (alongside Simba for non seniors).

Or port to one of the following without paying for sim :

Maxx $10 (good data roaming)
MyRepublic $9.99 (first month free, $9.99 2nd & 3rd mth)
CL $9.90 (12 mth)
Zym $10.10 (180 days)

If already on eSIM, no need to get new eSIM when upgrade to 5G from 4G right

Agreed, pretty annoying for such minor fees which should be waived..

Just upgraded mine.

Strangely, on the SIM card delivery page, my main line number is issued with a temporary number (exactly the same number as the main line), while my spare line does not have a temporary number.

Yours got issued with a temporary number?

Hope nothing goes wrong with this upgrade.

hmm... if I dont click on the the 5G upgrade, Giga will automatically upgrade me later and pay for my SIM? Come to think of it.. I suspect many of the GIga sims earlier are already 5G ready sim.

Click is to upgrade the plan or the sim or both ?
