Erwin_Rommel SG Hi I have signed up for Singtel Mio plan for $68 per month. The service activation was one day earlier than the installation day as confirmed by the wonderful WyWy shop personnel in Novena Square. On the actual day, the service technician came down one hour earlier as agreed. Installation took barely 5 minutes, and I actually asked him to conduct a series of phone checks first. E.g, I tried calling using Mio voice to my mobile, using my mobile to call back, etc. All works wonder. But seems to be a bit of echo. The technician also helped me set the firewall settings for the Mio box (2wireHGV) and even surf the net to speedtest.net to check up the speed. It is indeed close to 3Mbps (2950kbps to be exact). So far, I received no internet disconnections and my Mio voice been working perfectly fine. Only thing is that I still dunno how to configure my E65 after signing up for Mio mobile. Previously I was using 1.5Mbps ==> $43 per month classic plan ==> close to $80 per month due to no free incoming calls House phone ==> can reach up to >$80 in 3 months time cuz my mother often use the house phone to chat with her mahjong khakis By signing up the Mio plan, I save a total of ($203-$6= $135 (theoretically, excluding Mio mobile settings at $15/month plus the other VAS settings for Mio voice) So far so good. Pretty impressed (and proud) of signing up this.
soccerchaser SG I heard from my dad that today he spend the whole after wif the technician because the 1st technician is an idiot who dunno how to install!! (wonder wad is singtel thinking by hiring this idiot) !!!
soccerchaser SG is really wast of time cuz it take a long time for them to come!!! the 3rd technician less then 10 min complet everything!!!!
babymac13 SG Anyone currently are using the Mio unlimited, WIFI outgoing calls? How do you feel about this service in term of value of money and reliablity?
Erwin_Rommel SG Me tried to setup the Mio mobile settings, but can’t ah even though I signed up already. Weird.. haha
tankee1981 SG Hi, any updates on the Mio plan so far? Been a month since you posted your previous comments. Problems? Thanks
Erwin_Rommel SG Hi My MIO plan has been excellent so far. I think one reason is because previously I was using Singnet broadband 1500kbps and there has been no DC issues (except during the earthquake). I staying in Woodlands. Hence, I am very confident of signing up this Mio plan. There was once when I was downloading movie clips from a webby at 300kB per second, my bro was using wireless LAN to msn and check his e-mail... while my mother was chatting with her mahjong khakis for >2hours all at the same time. No issues at all! Somemore I do get to save a lot! Really very pleased, but I am now considering whether to up my broadband speed to 10Mbps for an additional $15 per month. But one thing I have to note is the sound quality of Mio voice. A DECT phone is highly recommended. The other analogue, especially those cheap cordless phones, will not be so clear. I do hear a bit of echoing and sometimes my friends at the other line will comment hearing noise. But its still work-able by any means. Anyway, I am using the DECT phone that I gotten as a freebie during the PC show. No echo + crystal clear!
Erwin_Rommel SG Ya exactly, I signed up partly to let my mother enjoy chit chatting with her friends as well cuz she is long-winded.
lpx88 SG I was thinking of getting MIO too..but im afraid that it might be unstable..then everything affected..alrdy singnet very unstable in recent days
hiphop2009 SG ok la. but i still depened on normal (traditional) house phones. i think MIO technology still nt stable yet. LOL.
Y_Shun SG you must have good phone lines... then no probs le. if you are staying at old HDB, refrain from using it.
TehJarVu SG Originally posted by babymac13: With mio plan, you can now customise and bundle your SingTel Fixed Line, SingTel Mobile and SingNet BroadBand services, at one fixed monthly subscription fee. I only need to pay [b]$68 for these 1) SingTel Mobile iOne Plus - 100 mins (outgoing) - 500 SMS - FREE Caller ID 2) SingNet BroadBand 3Mbps Unlimited mio Voice 3) Unlimited locals calls on your home phone I have spoken to the operator regarding this promotion, free registration fees and Mio Box(Wireless Modem), think it's quite a good deal for people who are paying both their Singtel Mobile and Singnet Broadband together. [/b]QUESTION: do you still need to pay for home phone rental which is $25 per quarter?
