OIC Thank for the help will check with Giga CS for more detail

i think in your online signup process, you already paid some $18 + $2 delivery fees? so technically yr $18 for 1st month is a sunken cost which already started...

if you sign up requesting for port in of existing non-giga number, then a giga sim card will be delivered to you and I think once u activated the giga sim, the porting request will be initiated... u can read under their FAQ...

"...Here's how the port-in/transfer process works
- When you choose to port-in/transfer your existing number from another telco to giga, a temporary giga number will first be assigned and delivered to you
- Upon delivery of the temporary giga number, your request to port-in will be processed within 1-3 working days
- Once port-in is approved, your temporary giga number will be automatically changed to your existing number from your current telco...."

Port in got any charges?

Like that one can only receive sms overseas. Cannot make urgent calls if needed. This is why I dun like gomo or giga, both are half-baked service comparing you their parent plans.

You can make voice calls using data from apps eg whatsapp.
But if you big boss type, call office fixed line for conference when traveling then u need normal calls which giga! dun have. But since u big boss type also no need find cheaper subscription plan lah, stick with the regular 3 telcos good enuff

Port in got any charges?

Pay $18 for first month + $2 one time delivery fee for sim.
No charges to port in.

The giga FAQ is really quite comprehensive

I got another question,..If I don't activate the new SIM received coz I plan port in at a later, I will not be charge for the first month right?

Yes, Mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) do have their limitation compare to their parent plan. But even with using the parent plan, you gotta to pay some premium. So, another option maybe just buy a prepaid card at the country of destination.

Agreed. You cannot have both worlds

It’s so disappointing that M1 don’t value existing customers

with them for many years, 4GB ofor $39 contract ending Oct, will apply for Giga first then port over. This week $18 for 40GB quite a good plan

 

[tek888]

Can. I signed up 5aug, activate and port in in December. I emailed the CSO to clarify on this
First billing will start when u activate.

Thanks bro. I will go ahead and sign up since the 40GB deal is quite good now. Also, there is low risk since there is no contract and I can jump to another telco anytime.

Your Credit Card will be immediately charged Plan Price + Delivery Fees upon completing online application, i.e., before delivery takes place. The clock starts ticking AFTER you insert SIM into phone & connect to network, i.e., starts of service.

Not sure how long you can keep the card un-activated after taking delivery because someone mentioned CSO told him can keep until Dec...

Pretty much all telcos and mvnos their pricing includes GST and it is nett.

Even Singtel Sim only $25. It is $25 nett.

I will activate it & port-in end of this month.
So, End of Sept20 bill is already covered from that initial deduction right?
