Mal, you're kidding! 28mb?? Do you never leave home?
I normally don’t switch cellular data on when I leave home, and if I do, I only switch it on for a few apps that don’t use much data. My phone is configured for the free Wireless@SGx access which works at many of the places I go. I also have free wireless at my workplace. At home I download stuff I want to consume offline while I’m in transit.
I just don’t see the need.
Wow, so you don't text/email while you're in transit? The last time I used wireless@sg was 5 years ago at a McDonald's, the connection was terrible. Maybe it's improved since then.
I remember back then, wireless@sg got really bad at one point (I was using it daily). It seemed like they were purposely trying to frustrate people to trigger holdouts to opt for a data plan, because it was working well prior. It took a while, but eventually they gave up on converting holdouts.
Nowadays coverage is even better, and it couldn’t be more convenient to connect, once you download the app and install the config, you then connect to wireless@SGX and it’s as easy as connecting to your home wifi - one tap.
My way is not for everyone, but keep in mind, this something that I evolved into, over many years - it just works for me. My $12 plan also comes with 700 mins of calling, 500 texts, free roaming & caller ID… all of which I find valuable, and it can’t be found at that price today (at least not from SingTel).
