My Life With IT

Had a very disappointing call with M1, again. I think I should switch telco by end of this year. I would like to change my current handphone to another model because this Dopod 838Pro is starting to give me problems. Since my contract has ended, I want to make use of this chance to upgrade. So, I called M1 to check if I would be getting any voucher. Ah, here, the standard model answer was given.

“The voucher is given out based on the plan and the amount of the plan.” Oh, so I have to be an Ultimate mobile phone warrior who pays M1 at least $300 per month so that I can get a voucher to upgrade my handset after the end of the 2-year contract.

I know Starhub gives me the voucher at the end of 2 years. I just received it. Even when my plan was paying them a miserly $30 per month. As a Hub Club member, I can even upgrade my handset at the 21st month without paying the extra $100.

Moral of the story, switch telco by this year when the handphone number can be kept without having to update all my contacts.
