Ok port in done..

how long did it take?

my turn to port in next week. Hope it's smooth and fast.

btw, the SIM delivery for me wasn't done in the specified time window. The delivery guy was late for a few hours...I thought he wasn't going to turn up at all cos it was already quite late at nite.

From Monday nite

so it took 3 days? That's quite long.

Every Telco can only manage a number of port in request daily. But seems many wanted to port in on 1 Sept...

My port in request was completed same day a few months ago.

I see. makes sense. My port in is going to be next week so hopefully it will be faster 'cos it won't be on a popular day i guess.

Yea i think it's best not to port on the first few days of the month...

The lift part think need to try out, every estate may be different. For my case Giga got reception in my estate lift, but M1 and TPG totally don't have and after coming out need to wait for a while (a min or so) before re-connecting back the network, no issue with Giga.

yeah. Tried a few days already. No coverage in lift.

Gonna say bye bye to gomo experience.

Assume you meant Giga or otherwise in the wrong thread...

In any case, I have gone from Singtel => M1 => Starhub => Giga => CMlink and found Singtel network provides the best coverage & speed regardless.

Go back to Singtel / GOMO / Vivifi / Grid / CMLink if connections in your estate lifts is of utmost importance.

Hi guys I signed up with my dad's name cos my number is under his name. Any idea how I can change the ownership to my own name?

You can't do it on giga, you can only do it via the 3 telcos or via MyRepublic

Hi guys I signed up with my dad's name cos my number is under his name. Any idea how I can change the ownership to my own name?

I had the same situation as yours, wanting to change ownership of the line from my father to me. But Giga does not offer that.

Hence I signed up for MyRepublic's plan to utilise its free transfer of ownership (just need to fill in a form and signed by your father). But to take note that in most cases, new line owners like u or me may not have a track record of bill payment, that's why MyRepublic may impose a $100 deposit on u, as it did on me.

Thus I am migrating to Giga near to the end of the month. I have just activated my Giga plan on 1st Sep and my MyRepublic line is running parallel, as I understand that there is no partial refund on plans if I migrate say 5th Sep or so. Therefore, I plan to port in my main line to Giga roughly 20th to 25th of Sep and say bye to MyRepublic, in order to get my $100 deposit back.

You can port in to Circles Life and at the same time do transfer of ownership during sign up. That's what I did in May before moving back to Giga last month.

Correction, gomo is using st prepaid network. So it will be slower than the rest and have lower speed cap.
Singtel/vivifi/grid/cmlink use singtel postpaid infra.

I feel giga speed in some area can be very fast. Certainly recommended for 10$ plan, as their data can rollover for next month.

Bro, we are talking of signal strength & coverage, not Speed. He is seeking to have connections in his estate lifts

Seriously speaking, I dun think it can even be achieved. Pretty much there is no signal for all telcos in a lift. If it has, it is lucky for one. However, it is never something that is realistic to expect even.

He has previously mentioned he's able to have connections while being with Singtel and it's apparently a deal breaker when he did not have connections ... each to his own so I didn't asked if he spend a lot of time inside his estate lifts

If it has the reception, it is a bonus. But dun think there will be any telco will bother to Ensure a blind spot like lift to be covered.

If Singtel happened to be the bonus, then easiest way is to switch back to Singtel.

I am on Singtel now, but in most of the residential lifts that I have used, I do not have coverage too. Maybe if it managed to switch to 3G, probably yes. But most of the time, the duration I am in lift is not even enough time for it to switch to 3G even.

 

[blueraresteak]

I think lift reception depends on area and design of the lift? Currently on giga, I am still getting 4 bars of reception and 4g inside. As for whether the reception is important, I'm sure it will come in handy during lift breakdowns.
