I would rather go for singtel or starhub if im on a mobile plan. But if mobile broadband plan for PC, then M1 since their priced competitively and their performance has recently increased. Now i can see youtube videos after 7pm without having to wait for it to load.

Not sure about M1, but for Singtel they want to see your student pass/emp pass (basically the FIN), and a deposit of $200 for foreigners.

even the iphone plan is not worth?..saw the iphone lite plan is only sgd56/mth..but i dunno what other charges impose

sgd200...wow..that's alot

the $200 deposit is depends on what type of pass u are holding. If work permit, then u need to pay, if u are on S pass or EP, then no nid, just photo copy ur passport and work pass will do.

Im actually more concerned with carrier specific coverage as well as net traffic load. I know a few fellas who have singtel 3G where the performance all-around is much better then starhub or M1 has to offer.

no corporate plan from your company ? The best deal is of coz corporate plan. My iPhone Singtel plan sgd12 per month for the classic plan and 3G data 50GB for sgd7. so total sgd19 per month

yeah usually corporate plans are better because the company provides subsidies? or at least it will be better than what the general public gets. Funnily enough the corporate plan at a company I work with last time didn't have coverage inside its own building (certain areas).

just like my company, got corporate plan from 3 telco, but starhub got no coverage when inside the building !@#@#*&^#&^$&*&$&*%

maybe, if the hiring manager or HR person who would be contacting and arraging your interview is from JB. but it's more of a gut feeling/perception.
no logical answer to this.

i used to work with M1. the take3 plan is kinda like loan phone scheme. although you do not need to make any upfront payment for the handset, but you are expected to return the phone after 2 years' usage. there will be a penalty if you fail to return the phone in good condition (where warranty only valids for 1 year).

make sure you ask the details properly from their staff. IMO its not really a good plan if your plan's commitment is low (because the choices of handsets will be limited).

TS, add me to the list pls.

Live in Chinatown, work in Pandan Ave but mostly going outdoor.

LoL, after working here for 1 mth,

I just realised SG only got 11 days of public holiday compare to 16 days of public holiday in MY.

Even Dr Goh passed away, SG did not declare a public holiday... LOL

Mine was on student pass: no discount for student...

They don't have so many sultans and funny religious holidays...

Donno whats the big deal about dr gohs death. Not like we has prime minister or something.

I am going to Sg soon, working at Jurong but my friend might be working at Bedok (other side of the freaking island). What would be a nice compromise location to stay in terms of distance? His place is just in front of Bedok mrt, so for him is quite easy as long as he can get access to mrt.

I'm thinking either Clementi area or the red line MRT area near CCK , although I welcome any suggestions. I am guessing in terms of rental, preferably if can keep below $300 per pax.

I think with budget below $300 it's impossible to get in Clementi area..it's kinda expensive..common room ard $700-750..

clementi is a shiet place... i recommend buena vista or bishan

Pls respect others before u speak...everyone hv their own preference..just bcos u dun like Clementi doesnt mean u can criticized it

so with budget around $600 what area is available that is near to the middle of the island (hv to be away from town area i suppose)?

so i am living in a shit place.

however if you stick with red line, it will be quite far for your friend to travel.

i think your best bet would be sticking with green line.
