My current Starhub $20 sim-only mobile plan is expiring on 31 July 2023 in a few days.
It served me well for the past year offering me 100GB of 4G mobile data, unlimited phone calls, 1000 SMSes, international roaming, caller id and so on.
With the wide spectrum of mobile virtual network operator (MNVO) in the Telco market now offering a multitude of attractive mobile plans, I was spoilt for choices and tempted to switch to one which suits my needs BEST at the LOWEST costs.
I knew that the cheapest 100GB mobile plan is being offered by Simba, former TPG at $10. However due to poor reception and call quality I experienced few years ago during the free trial, I did not consider it.
Despite shortlisting popular MNVO offerings by GIGA, HEYA and GOMO which could offer me savings from $2 to $10 monthly, I was rather firm on renewing my sim-only mobile plan with Starhub for no disruptuon and ease of maintenance of bills as the monthly bill was combined with my broadband.
However until I chanced upon an advert by VIVIFI days ago, I finally decided to take the leap. I signed up for the 4G vibe plan, applying promo code of $20.
Main motivating factors are the reduction of monthly mobile costs by 50% from $20 to $10, reliable network infrastructure by SingTel, free 1GB roaming data in countries I would like to visit and $20 discount with T&C's ($10 after 3 months and $2 every mth from 4th to 8th) meaning an 8 months commitment to enjoy only $20 discount. While the free talktime and SMSes are lesser, I do not mind as I seldom utilise such services.
Other downsides with VIVIFI would be lack of app and physical presence. Hence viewing of mobile usage and bills would be on their website only, and collection of sim card at designated timings at mrt stations is rather troublesome unless we pay 10 odd dollars for home delivery. Customer service support would be via email only. There is also a risk of it collapsing just like some other MVNOs folding up in the past. Nonetheless, the downsides do not deter me from enjoying cost savings.
There are also referral perks from $2 to $4 depending on which mobile plan was signed up.
Here is my referral code for those of you interested:
