The 3 new mobile plans from MyRepublic

New MyRepublic mobile plans

On 21 Jun 2018, MyRepublic has launched 3 new mobile plans.  They come with the following benefits:

  1. 1000 outgoing mins;
  2. 1000 outgoing sms;
  3. Boundless data (slower speed after limit is reached);
  4. Free caller ID;
  5. Free local delivery;
  6. Free SIM activation;
  7. Free incoming calls; and
  8. Free incoming sms.
There are 3 plans: Smart (7GB), Mega (12GB) and Xtra (25GB) priced at $35, $55 and $85 respectively.

Smart with Smart 35?

Smart 35 is comparable to most plans offered by other telcos.  At S$35 price point, it is attractive provided you are a phone or sms addict.  For 1000 outgoing calls and 1000 outgoing sms, you pay peanuts to get 10 times of call out time for a small fee of less than $7 compared to Circles Life $28 plan.

Mega 55 is not that big

Mega is the mid-range offering and it has 5GB more for $20.  This is not attractive as Circles life offers only $20 for 20GB.  Therefore, Mega is no big deal.

Xtra 85 has no Extra

Xtra 85 mirrors the older Ultimate plan which was launched earlier for broadband customers.  But for the same features, Ultimate ($80 for 80GB) is an obvious choice compared to Xtra 85 ($85 for 25GB).  It remains a mystery why MyRepublic is launching an inferior plan Xtra 85 creating a cannibalise situation for the same target segment.  So sign up for Ultimate if you can.

Uno is the BEST

Uno is still the best plan offered by MyRepublic with 1GB data but priced only at $8/month.  It enjoys all the features of the 3 new plans but costs only a fraction to enjoy the same benefits.  Sign up for Uno if you are a phone addict.
