Circles Sim in Huawei MIFI E5577?

Post by wildfirejc » Thu, 29 Sep 2016 12:28 am

Hi there,

We are going to be in Singapore for three months and the place we're staying in has no landlines or wifi.
So we are bringing a Huawei E5577 mifi and hope to buy a SIngapore data sim there.

Can anyone tell me if the circles sim (with talktime and data) would work in the MIFI?

Or must I just buy the starhub data sim?

Doubt Circles will give a SIM to a non resident.

Unless you get 3 months residency.

Look up pre paid cards.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply but I am Singaporean and do have family in Singapore - so proof of residency isn't a problem.
Anyway, I did get a reply back from Circles and they said it would not be compatible as theirs is not a data only sim. However, they said they do sell a device which I can buy from them which will be able to share data....so I will see what they are offering.

In Philippines when I put in the regular voice / data SIM in my 3G Huawei router, it works.

Not sure why it will be different with c
Circles SIM.

Better get a SIM from somebody else ;) than buying another "Device".
