Or you stay in Singapore and want to have the most affordable data plan?
Here is the guide based on my personal experience:
First thing first, I would like to share my habit related to the data plan.
- I only use data at max 200Mb/week
- I rarely browse facebook
- I sometimes browse forums
- I quite often browse news using FlipBoard and reddit
- I rarely download application using cellular network unless it's really urgent
- I rarely watch YouTube using cellular network
So if you have almost the same criteria with me, this guide is for you.
From the 3 operators, so far Singtel offers is the best to suite my needs.
It has multiple data plans but the following data plan is the best to suite my needs:
1. 1GB for 1 week for $7
2. 10MB for 1 week for $1
So does that mean if I want to have a data plan for 1 month(assuming 1 month is 4 weeks), I need to pay $7 X 4 times?
The answer is: No.
Here is what makes it the cheapest:
Assuming today is Jan and Jan is having 4 weeks.
So what you need to do is:
Jan week-1: Subscribe the $7 data plan and you get 1GB for 7 days
Jan week-2: subscribe the $1 data plan and you get ADDITIONAL 10MB and ADDITIONAL 7 days which means, if let say on the first week you have finished 200MB, on the second week you will have 800MB (from first week) + 10MB (from second week). So in the second week you have 810MB
Jan week-3: subscribe another $1 data plan and you will get ADDITIONAL 10MB and ADDITIONAL 7 days. If let say in week 2 you have finished another 200MB (so in total you have spend 400MB), then on the third week you will have 610MB (remainder from the second week) + 10MB (from third week)
And the next following week and month you just continue to subscribe the $1 data plan until eventually you spend the whole data plan.
From the illustration above, for Jan I only spent $11 ($7 week 1, $1 for each week 2,3,4) and assuming on feb i didn't do much browsing, I can sown only $4 for my data plan ($1 for each week 1,2,3,4).
