Pre-order is usually for oversea passenger.

Do download the Happy Prepaid App.
As it required PIN via sms to login.
Do the necessary setting for APN and turn on Roaming service before leaving.
There is no need to logout, as to tap Back key twice to exit n close the app.
As it can open without request for PIN via sms, as wifi can use instead.

I did it 2wks ago, collection at the UOB Forex counter just in front of the departure area at T3, don't know for sure but I assume it's 24hrs. The bank officer there helped me set up the apn, etc.

Can the StarHub Sim be brought in other location ? StarHub outlet? Also the $15 comes with $18 right together with IB TOP up to get 3.6gb?
Yes, recently bought a $15 Prepaid SIM from Starhub shop at Parkway Parade.
The one i bought is based on $15 value with 2.2GB local data spread over 6 months.
There are 2 type of $15 Prepaid SIM card.
This shop do have $8 and $15 both types available, last visit about 2 weeks ago and do have plenty.
All Prepaid SIM can be top-up data via Data Plan, up to 30-days such as 3.6GB for $20.
As some shops may or may not have as it depend.

Starhub Shops should sell but stocks may be low from time to time. Authorised dealers often have no stocks.
I tried buying the $50 prepaid SIM at Bugis last Dec but I was told I needed to buy another card first. I felt it was a sell gimmick and walked off since there was no reason why I should get more items than what was necessary. I eventually bought the $50 prepaid SIM at Plaza Singapura.
Starhub Exclusive Partners &or Dealers stock low could due to several reasons.
They do have small agents /shops that do the selling, as this will spread all over in several locations with some do sell faster than others.
As Prepaid SIM card are pre-prepared, hence there are limited quantity.
Meaning each Prepaid SIM card do have printed permanent mobile number on it.
Whereas Postpaid SIM card do not have any mobile numbers on the card itself as it can be generated by the System.
Beside there are Premium mobile numbers for Prepaid SIM cards too.
Hence there are different cost which are usually higher than standard.

I am not too sure if the Bugis outlet is an authorised dealer. I disagreed with the offer and hence walked off.
At Plaza Singapura, I bought a number ending with 88 with no extra chargefor the $50 prepaid SIM.
You mean in Junction 8 next to M1 & Singtel, Samsung.
That is Starhub shop which i encountered the staff not helpful.
As did not want to buy from there.

Nope, Bugis Junction. It is next to M1 and opposite (or diagonally opposite) of Singtel at Level. They are friendly but I cannot understand the ridiculous package they have over a $50 prepaid SIM.
Oops. My bad.
It is Bugis Junction, not junction 8.
They have $50 Prepaid SIM only.
As i want is $15 with 2.2GB long term data.
seriously? i saw many customers buying $15 cards from that store, but i myself bought a $8, which gave me 1.2gb sufficient for my japan and hk trips.
Maybe they have already have stock.
This happened 2 weeks ago.
Anyway went another shop at Parkway Parade to get.
This shop do have a lot of $8 & $15 both types.
Me is to replace existing prepaid sim as the phone number is used by someone before me, previous owner.
As keep getting getting ex owner's contacts calls, sms, facebook, etc.
Something about this card I don’t understand. After buying a plan, my wallet had remaing value of $3 plus. Right through the trip and up till i board the plan before returning home, i still had $3 plus in my wallet according to the app. Yet, the moment i reached home, i looked at the app, i was left with only 2 cents. So within that 1 hour after touching down, without my knowledge, i have used up $3? I didn’t use the phone at all, it was in my pocket. I might have some whatsapp messages but still puzzled how $3 was consumed so quickly.
