The extra 100 mins will come in handy to call my grandma who doesn’t use SMS at all and I'll use unlimited data usage on Singtel WiFi to talk to my sister Azaria who has a year left to complete her masters overseas! I knock off at work at Raffles Place around 8pm which is about the time she wakes up and having Singtel WiFi at Raffles Place MRT while I wait for my train home makes it so much easier to pop an early morning video call to say hi to her without worrying about exceeding data 🙂 #getmorevalue
It would be great to use the additional bandwidth for more video chats with friends and loved ones overseas and share moments with them!
