I live in Thailand and come to Singapore every few months for business, so I will need a local Singapore phone number. How do I go about using my cell phone, and will I be able to maintain the same phone number over these periods of time? Thanks.
You can buy a Singtel pre-paid SIM card. Just make sure that before you leave Singapore, you've topped up the value with at least 20 SGD. I go to Singapore every month or so. After topping up my Singtel number, the account would get a 6 months expiration period. But I tend to return to Singapore before this period expires, so it was never an issue. However, if I need to top up when I'm overseas, the SIM card has an option for sending SMS to a friend in Singapore who can send me a top-up value. Another thing is, Singtel is a member of the Bridge Alliance. There's a local telco here who is also a member of the Bridge Alliance so I can go to this telco customer service counters and have my Singtel number topped up (or loaded as what we call it in the Philippines).
Hope this helps.
