Hi!

Want to check on Zero1 billing/data cycle.

Do they do a pro-rated for the portion of the first month sign up then start the cycle on Day 1 of the next full month, like what RedOne currently do?

Do I have to port in at the point of sign up or is there an option to port in after getting a temporary new number?

No they have different 4 bill cycles. There is pro rate but only for the days within a particular bill cycle (not pro rate of the first month). See the last paragraph of my previous post.

Port in can only be done during sign up.

Thanks, so if I want to have a billing cycle that starts on Day 1, earliest I should activate the plan is on 23th. Should I sign up for the plan on this date, or should I sign up earlier, get the sim card and wait to activate on 23th?

Yup earliest is 23rd of the month collect your SIM card from SingPost to activate the plan, so that you will be on the bill cycle 01.

You will need to sign up the plan earlier, recommended about few days to 1 week earlier because after you sign up Zero1 will need some time to process your order and if there’s some hiccups like need to re upload NRIC etc it will delay the sign up process. There is no downside to sign up even 2 weeks earlier (for extra bufffer) because the plan only starts from the day of activation and thus the bill will pro rate accordingly.

I think it should be possible but I am not sure if can hold the SIM card collection for that long as I never personally tested. Last time I signed up on 20th and collected SIM card at SingPost on 23rd. Why not just wait until next month to sign up? Maybe 1 week before 23rd April.

Did the collection letter state to collect the sim card by what date?

Collection email never state any deadline, only state ready for collection starting from a date. But this was from sometime ago in July 2022 so not sure if any changes since then.

I guess it is SingTel problem as a whole.

My SingTel line (not SingTel MVNO line) on the other phone keep losing signal the whole night, last night until early morning 5am.
This actually happened to me for almost 2 years. West area.

What are the steps to block incoming international calls? Through the app or website?
