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<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"50327\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2013\/08\/13\/pay-less-for-data-with-singtel-datamore\/singtel-datamore-subscription\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/singtel-datamore-subscription.jpg?fit=542%2C142&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"542,142\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"singtel-datamore-subscription\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/singtel-datamore-subscription.jpg?fit=300%2C78&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/singtel-datamore-subscription.jpg?fit=542%2C142&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50327\" alt=\"singtel-datamore-subscription\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/singtel-datamore-subscription.jpg?resize=542%2C142\" width=\"542\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/singtel-datamore-subscription.jpg?w=542&amp;ssl=1 542w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/singtel-datamore-subscription.jpg?resize=300%2C78&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Do check out the promo page as there are terms and conditions and also a one-time setup fee for existing customers.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/info.singtel.com\/personal\/phones-plans\/mobile\/vas\/datamore\/detail\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here for more details on SingTel DataMore<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>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<blockquote><p>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<p>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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.singtel.com\/datamore\" target=\"_blank\">www.singtel.com\/datamore<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And other information which I think is useful.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>SingTel provides two easy and convenient ways for customers to monitor their data usage:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Via the MySingTel app \u2013 available free from the Apple App Store and Google Play store.<\/li>\n<li>By dialling *3282 (*DATA) \u2013 they will receive an SMS reply with their current usage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In addition, we will notify customers via SMS whenever they have used 80% and 100% of their data bundle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>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<p>[ad#boxlist]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I got the news (via SMS) that SingTel is ending its promotion on the data plan, I was devastated.
