M1 iPhone Revised Price Plan - 4G Battle

The battle of 4G price plan has just begun. In less than a day, M1 will be the first amongst the telcos to launch its 4G network nationwide. I could not recall M1 making any public releases of its revision of its price plan but Starhub and Singtel were the very first that made the annoucement earlier this year, and the news were badly hit back by the consumers.

To be frank, I do not understand why IDA is not taking any front here since it is pretty obvious the plan offerings are towards data reduction and promoting SMS, totally contrasting to the nation's strategy of going digital-on-the-move, and tilting towards the telco's profit share.

    M1 New Sunsurf Plan!

    Just a week ago I wrote about M1 Data plan promotion which has been going for awhile.

    Contrary to my expectations, M1 has stripped down her 50gb free data to the basic free 1gb data for the maximum plan.

    Why the shock? I was anticipating that it will give better attractive plans after locking users who have signed up for the 15% and 30% Sunsurf data plans. Guess I've been accustomising to Starhub marketing tactics. No it did not turn out that way. Surprise!


    The New SunSurf Vas Plans (As accurate from 30-Jun-2009)
    SunSurf VAS Plan SunSurf Lite SunSurf Plus SunSurf Max
    Monthly Subscription $5.35 $10.70 $16.05
    Free Data Bundle 20MB 100MB 1GB
    Download Speed Up to 7.2Mbps
    Upload Speed Up to 2Mbps
    Max Usage Capped* $36.38
    To sign up, SMS this code to 1627 act sslite act ssplus act ssmax

    * Inclusive of subscription


    Note:
    SunSurf VAS is only available for subscription as a value-added service.
    All charges include GST.
    Applicable to local usage only.
    For GPRS roaming usage, foreign operators' local GPRS rates are applicable.
    Actual speed experienced depends on mobile phone used, radio conditions, network traffic and destination server.

    M1 Data Plan - Mobile Sunsurf

    Time have changed when nearly all WAP-enabled/browser phones require a data plan to go with without burning a huge hole in your pocket and giving you the accessibility to the internet while on your move.

    For now, 50GB seems like unlimited for me since you can't be downloading movies and such on your mobile. It may be insufficient when time comes for quality streaming. When will that be?

    M1 Sunsaver Price Plan as on 31st March 2009

    Lately I've been troubled by contractual price plans. I cannot recall how frequent the telcos in Singapore have revamped its mobile price plans to stay competitive ahead.

    No not that they are not attractive enough. But i felt succumbed to taking in the benefits at first glance. Are they really that alluring as compared to the plans that were previously? How do they stand if they were compared with its competitors?

    Pouring over the google eyes gave me near-zero results of past price plans other than old chat threads of users lamenting on price plans, as usual.

    I hope this post will serve useful maybe few years later.

    For now, I shall start with M1 - on its current Sunsaver Series Plan, and its Take3 package


    M1 Sunsaver Series Price Plan
    -SunLite (new)
    -Sunsaver
    -Sunsaver Plus
    -Sunmax





















    Apparently, unlimited free calls to 3m1 numbers is subjected to a period limitation as highlighted in its conditions

    • Unlimited Free Calls to 3 M1 Numbers is valid till 31 December 2011, and applies to local voice calls only. A $10.70 administrative charge applies for every change of the 3 M1 numbers.

    Sunshare Package






















    Ultimatum : Talk All U Can Plan














    The best, though i'm still skeptical as i remembered few years back, if you were an old-time loyal user with a couple of lines, you are entitled to further bill discount. Not sure when it stops, but now I know it's back.


    Best User-Feedback D.I.Y Plan

    As M1 advertisement says it all, they truely listened to its subscriber needs and whizzed up a D.I.Y plan that caters to the needs of everyone, though you might end up paying more as compared to a standardized plan with nearly the same features.
























    Multi-Line Saver Scheme For Attractors










    • M1 Multi-Line Saver: Customers are eligible for M1 Multi-Line Saver when they subscribe to a minimum of three M1 postpaid lines on Free Incoming Calls plans or Mobile Broadband plans, under the same NRIC/FIN number and will enjoy a discount as listed on the table above on the monthly subscription of the eligible service plans, excluding value-added services and/or usage charges. The discount will be applied monthly on eligible active service plans which are not suspended/terminated, during the billing period for the respective bills to which the discount applies. M1 Multi-Line Saver is not applicable to M1 Enterprise customers, M1 Enterprise Mobile/Broadband plans and customers registered under government groups.
    25%,30% and 35% discount based on the number of concurrent lines is a pretty good package to attract more subscribers especially if they call each other often (esp between family members)


    Up to now, there are no data plan that are packaged as a plan altogether for M1. You have to sign up separately.
