Could you please quote for me where it says what you claimed above? Sorry I have reservation to read this document (and I think I am familiar with it anyway). CRT-F does not show any words containing "day" and "week".ecureilx wrote:Under the new lemon law, now they must replace one for one, within 7 days ...

You actually need to download or set APN settings which tell the phone how to connect to the data network, you can google it for every provider, on Android phones if I remember correctly, you have a "download provider settings" button.
WD, yes you can do it with a dual SIM phone, most phones today though can only supports one active data connection, but I think that is more than sufficient. Do note that most dual sim phones will revert the non-active SIM card to a 2G network, so in countries such as Japan, phones like that tender the other cars useless as Japan has no 2G network anymore.
I suggest you also check out the wifi router rental at Changi! Their rates for data roaming are cheaper that the mobile carrier! That is if you don't plan to buy a local sim (cheaper in most cases)

Yes, I have a Xiaomi M4i, their new "budget flagship" with dual LTE SIMs. I keep two different SIMs in it and use it for data based on where I'm at. All of those apps which require your phone number will work fine with either SIM (all they do is send an SMS to verify, you could send the SMS to a different phone even). I then set it up as a hotspot (yes it's cool, but not a new feature) to whichever SIM is preferable based on my location.Wd40 wrote:Slightly off topic, but there is a really cool feature about phones.

Right now I am in India, got a 3g sim put it into a spare phone and I use my Singapore phone/sim and connect to the spare phone data using wifi. I can use viber out for making VoIP calls and WhatsApp remains functional.
I wonder if a dual SIM phone can be used to achieve the same thing?

Thanks! My next phone will surely be a dual SIM one, then.zzm9980 wrote:Yes, I have a Xiaomi M4i, their new "budget flagship" with dual LTE SIMs. I keep two different SIMs in it and use it for data based on where I'm at.

This phone is officially available in India (and SIngapore), and costs about S$250 here. You should try to pick one up there, see if it is cheaper.Wd40 wrote: Thanks! My next phone will surely be a dual SIM one, then.
Re: Phone is it 4G LTE Compatible???
Slightly off topic. My postpaid singtel connection has 100 mins free and beyond that it costs 16c/Min. I just looked at ViberOut rates for Singapore. It is 3c/Min! I had initially taken ViberOut for calling overseas. But even calling locally its cheaper to call using Voip than using cell phone, beyond the free mins!
