When I got the news (via SMS) that SingTel is ending its promotion<\/a> on the data plan, I was devastated. It means that I had to pay more for the extra GB (beyond the monthly bundle data). Thanks goodness, there is DataMore<\/a> add-on.<\/p>\n

\"singtel-datamore\"<\/p>\n

DataMore is a subscription model where you pay S$5.35 per month per GB used (beyond your bundle data). Previously, I remembered I subscribed to DataMore that is slightly different. My plan is actually 2GB extra on top of my 3GB at S$7 per month. Here is my plan.<\/p>\n

Anyway, when I checked for other add-ons using the mobile app, I saw that I am also subscribed to the new DataMore add-on (1GB @ S$5.35). Not sure why it is so complicated. Nevertheless, for those who still wish to pay S$5.35 per GB (after the 16th September), you can check out DataMore. Currently, they are running a promo (which means more savings).<\/p>\n

Do check out the promo page as there are terms and conditions and also a one-time setup fee for existing customers.<\/p>\n

BTW, SingTel also wrote to clarify something on the pricing of data. Here is the information (I copy and paste to avoid discrepancy)<\/p>\n

The rate of $5.35\/GB for 4G local excess data usage (data that is used beyond the monthly data bundle) was offered as a special promotion with the launch of our 4G service in June 2012.\u00a0 The regular rate of $10.70\/GB will apply from 16 September when the promotion, which was extended by more than 9 months, comes to an end.<\/p>\n

Today, only 10% of our mobile subscribers consume more than their monthly data bundle. We have contacted these customers to let them know that they can continue to enjoy the rate of $5.35\/GB by subscribing to our DataMore value added service. As a bonus, subscription for the first 6 months is free for those who sign up before 31 October. (More details at www.singtel.com\/datamore<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And other information which I think is useful.<\/p>\n

SingTel provides two easy and convenient ways for customers to monitor their data usage:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Via the MySingTel app \u2013 available free from the Apple App Store and Google Play store.<\/li>\n
  2. By dialling *3282 (*DATA) \u2013 they will receive an SMS reply with their current usage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition, we will notify customers via SMS whenever they have used 80% and 100% of their data bundle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    So, that is it. Hope that it helps to clarify some doubts. If you really have doubts, I think you can check the FAQ which has quite a number of interesting information.<\/p>\n
