Best prepaid SIM for data usage
You could cut if you're getting an iPhone 4, but if you need the micro-SIM for your iPad then there's no sense in doing so as the best deal you can get is only available on the micro-SIM anyway ($32 for 60 days access).Sean C wrote:You could just get a regular old mini-SIM from the likes of SingTel or StarHub, then buy a cutter, or just use a pair of scissors. I know Deal Extreme makes a cutter, and I also saw one for sale at Sim Lim Square last week.

I wouldn't bother using Singtel as well, they're the exact opposite of their great ads. So much for the brag. Go for M1.aster wrote:I'm so unimpressed with Singtel it's not even funny. Compared to SH I get no free 018-ish calls to over a dozen countries, lousy local call rates, no per-second billing. How much worse can they be?

I still think Singtel would be your best bet for internet, be it at home or on your mobile/iPad.
With regards to a prepaid phone, I think Starhub has the edge due to stuff like per-second billing, but Singtel will always be a decent choice too.
M1 I would consider if I wanted a monthly plan for an iPhone, and I already owned the handset, as they have some enticing discounts for people in such situations.

Today I was trying to help a friend set up their itunes account on their phone, and the mobile reception with starhub was a shocker. We were in the basement level of Raffles City
I used Starhub pre-paid my first month here. Their data service was terrible. I had almost full signal 3g non-stop, but half the time connectivity would just time out. All of my coworkers encouraged SingTel once I had my EP card. Singtel is significantly better, but still has coverage gaps. But at least I can see when I am in a coverage gap because signal drops and/or downgrades to GPRS.
With Starhub my service would predictably drop every day on MRT between Cityhall and Kallang, and again around Paya Lebar. With Singtel, I sat at Paya Lebar (Coffee Bean), tethered my laptop to my iPhone, and was able to download a 500mb file in less than 30 minutes. Wireless@SG can't even do that.
