USERS
who don't want to be tied down to a 12-month or 24-month contract
now have a new option.
On
Tuesday SingTel rolled out a new post-paid mobile phone plan that
has no long-term contract - the first no-contract plan in
Singapore.
'In the current economic climate, consumers would rather not be
tied to contracts so as to retain financial flexibility,' said Wong
Soon Nam, SingTel's vice-president of consumer marketing.
Users who sign up for this SuperSIM option pay the same price as
the usual plans, but will get more talktime and free text
messages.
There is no handset subsidy however, meaning users cannot buy
cheap phones as they currently can with established plans.
Users must also be new customers or existing ones who have
completed 21 months or more of a contract. They will also have to
use this SuperSIM plan for at least one month.
