I need a USB mobile broadband modem, but will only be in Singapore for a year and cannot sign the 24 month contract that Singtel requires. However, I have a post-paid iphone account with them that can support multi sim. Is there a reason I couldn't just buy an unlocked USB modem and insert my singtel sim into it and have the exact same service as the USB modem they sell?
I understand that Singtel's normal mobile package will use 4G if your phone supports it at no extra cost.. so can we assume their multi sim would also support 4G speeds? So for the $10 multisim cost, plus the cost of the modem, I would have the equivalent of their most expensive mobile broadband package? Too good to be true?
Thanks for your help.
