Mobile Data Plan in Singapore

If you are going for a short trip in Singapore and could not leave without internet access like me, you should get the SingTel prepaid sim card! DO NOT rely on the free WIFI in hotel...its damn damn slow and sometimes you could not even connected at all! And some hotel charges you for a fees to connect per day some more and the speed is so slow! The hotel that I stayed (shall blog later which hotel is it) charges like SGD$18 to force us get a buffet breakfast for 2 person only can entitle free WIFI *sheesh*

Comparison

With just SGD28 (~RM68) prepaid sim card spent, I get to online for full 4 days and make smses and calls in Singapore. The speed is damn fast some more. And if I compare it to Maxis roaming data plans, which is usually RM38 per day. Which do you think is more worth it ya? :-)
