Using my mobile phone in Singapore

Post by nongice626 » Tue, 06 Feb 2007 2:35 pm

Hello,

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.

Well, you use your cellphone just like you normally would...

What's your exact cellphone model? You should be able to just buy a prepaid singapore SIM card, put it in your phone and be good to go.

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.
