Yusld Neutral Newbie May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 Need a pre paid Sim just for incoming calls. But is it all pre paid starts with at least $18 and above, a new card new number? Anywhere can purchase cheaper pre paid Sim? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnyday76 1st Gear May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 From what I know, most pre-paid SIMs is about $18 or so. Only subsequent top-ups can be $10 minimum, though someone told me before can use SAM machine or something to top up $5 only!! Btw, if I'm using a pre-paid SIM on my current phone now, but my friend gives me his HP which can only fit a micro-SIM slot. Then how? Must I give up my current SIM number in order to go to a telco shop to purchase a new pre-paid micro-SIM? But in doing so, then that would mean I would have to give up my current SIM hp number leh, the existing number can't be ported over to the new micro-SIM card rite? I know from some basic research on the web, some people says can cut their SIM to fit the exact size of a micro-SIM card size, though I don't think I will go down this path.. Pls advise...

Deplete your card value, then switch over to another operator, request for micro-SIM card with number ported over. Then, can always switch back again if you prefer.

Think most new Sim cost $18 and above too. Just cut it to micro size lah. Or buy this Micro Sim adapter So if you want to fit your Micro Sim to normal Sim slot, you also can do it.

Sgt1086 Neutral Newbie May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 For new registration can sign up at any 24hr convenient stores ie. 7-eleven, Cheers etc. Topping up of balance can be purchase at mama shops or provision shops which can get some discount depending on the boss. Eg. Hicard 128 and Happy128 can be bought at $25.50 instead of regular $28 at convenient stores. AXS machines also can topup using Nets and can enjoy extra bonus of free minutes.

Even those with "free" incoming calls one still need to pay something like 60 cents per day. So, $18 for abt 1 month finish liao.
