I have been with Starhub(Singapore’s 2nd largest mobile carrier) for quite a few years and is quite satisfied w their level of service and pricing plans.

It costs $72 cool dollars w/o any discounts and I doubt most will sign up for that plan without any work related reasons. Even @$36, i feel a pinch. Reasons? Cost vs Experience is not near equal. (no surprise here)

After being on the plan, I realise I actually use my home’s fixed line internet lesser!From my mobile, these r the core things i do

  1. Reading and replying emails : replies are mainly non-attachment based
  2. Blog reads via Resco News and Opera Newsfeed
  3. IM chatting on Ebuddy mobile
  4. Writing this blog on Opera browser
  5. going on Facebook mobile on Nokia’s default web browser (some issues logging in FB from Opera)

I feel kinda cheated paying 58+36 without maximising e home internet channel. Heck i dun need 6MBPs of bandwidth to go on Facebook and poke pple…so if u are those people who are thinking of getting a mobile data plan, make sure ur reasons r justified.
