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. As im also a subscriber for their MaxOnline(broadband internet) plans, i get to enjoy 50% discount off e Gee! mobile data plan. 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
- Reading and replying emails : replies are mainly non-attachment based
- Blog reads via Resco News and Opera Newsfeed
- IM chatting on Ebuddy mobile
- Writing this blog on Opera browser
- 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.
