Clueless about handphone

My mobile contract is up for renewal recently. However it is very tedious to check on the pricing of the phones. A few prices can be given on the same phone model, depending on the value of your subscription plan and whether trade in is involved... This made comparing between the telcos' offerings difficult. Can't they make our life simple by providing a clear pricing?!

This is somewhat the same as the housing loan rates quoted by the banks... Luckily DBS has come up with a more transparent method of tagging the rates to the CPF rates. Hopefully, the same can be done to the subscription plans for mobile services and the phone prices!! Haha wishful thinking on my part...

Handphone pricing best pricing - Corporate plan.

1 price - 1 package - many freebies!

No matter what teleco- only 1 method. Call their toll free hotline everyday while sitting on the toilet bowl. Complaint till they give up and throw in freebies

Of course different telcos will try to sell u different packages. If cannot convince, then confuse u lah.. I still cannot understand the MIO packages, I think the salespple are also confused..

Last time I heard, number portability will kick in next year, but no idea exactly when. I guess when they roll it out, there may be promotions for pple with outstanding contracts.

I'm not holding back till then.. the current xmas deals look quite good.
