Good news
After the last posting on advicing NOT to sign up for new plans, TPG has announced on 21 Dec that they will start its registration process for its new subscriber base. The first 20k subscribers are expected to use its mobile service for 1-year FREE.
Who is TPG Telecom?
TPG Telecom is the 4th mobile operator in Singapore. Founded in 1986 and started mobile operation in 2008, it is the 2nd largest Australia fixed Telco with 400k subscribers. Unlike Zero, Zero1 and CircleLife, TPG has its own fixed network infrastructure so it has full control over its network.
U-Turn on 24 months Senior Plan
They also claimed they are commited and look forward to contribute to the community. In Mar 2018, they mentioned about 24 months plan for seniors above 65 years old but made an U-Turn on that decision. Further details will be available.
What the plan offers?
20,0000 successful applicants will be expected to get the following plan:
- 20 minutes of outgoing calls;
- 20 SMS; and
- Unlimited mobile data but above usage of 2GB will be throttled to 1Gbps.
Note: To watch a youtube video with powerpoint effect, a 2Gbps speed is needed. Therefore, after 2GB, online high resolutions video will be expected to lag.
Target Segments
Based on the free plan, the target segments they are aiming are:
- People with low calling and low sms needs;
- Users with IoT or GPS devices;
- Seniors or teenagers; and
- Adults with a secondary line.
Conclusions
Looking at all plans offered by all competitors, there is no plan to match at such low price point unless you are paying S$9.90 with Zero1. So, successful applicants stand to gain $120 for the free 1 year access. Why wait? Register now to avoid disappointment. Good luck to your application!
