New Phone, New Data Plan

Finally, my 2-year contract was up and it is time to get a new phone and more importantly a new mobile plan. The Samsung S8+ had served me really well, despite me cracking its screen at the Fremantle Prison (Perth) about 6 months after I got it. The data plan is the one that I had an issue with.

My basic plan is so basic that only comes with 3gb data plan per month. I duno who still survives with 3gb per month. I paid to upgrade it to 5gb several months back and was surprised that I still struggle with the quota in some months. The apps are using too much data nowaday lah. Daddy Lim has a freaking 30gb with unlimited data during the weekends. My eyes had popped out with envy a long time back.

It is finally my TURN! Hohoho. While I knew that I wanted to change to a similar priced plan but one that is data rich, I was shocked at how much I had to pay for a Samsung handset. The basic S10e is asking for $598 with my basic plan. I had been on Samsung for a long time but I really  买不下, which got me looking at other handsets. Daddy Lim is currently on Huawei and Lil Shauna is on Oppo.

After much considerations, I wanted to go for the Oppo too. At the M1 shop, the sales wantedwan help me check if my Company is on corporate plan with M1 and I confidently quoted that my Company is with Singtel. Luckily the Sales insisted to check. To my surprise, I could get corporate discount!

In the end, I upgraded my mobile plan 1 notch since I am eligible for the corporate monthly discount. What I am even more pleased is the $250 handset discount bcos of the corporate plan. Hohoho. I cannot stop smiling. With the discount, I got a newer Oppo model - Oppo Reno.

Lesson learnt - don't be so stubborn; it doesn't hurt to check. I now have 15gb of data plan per month and FREE UNLIMITED data during the weekends. Ouch, my face is hurting from smiling too much. Haha.
