TPG Telecom is an Australia telco that’s often referred to as the 4th telco in Singapore, after Singtel, Starhub and M1. “Huh? I thought the 4th telco is Circles.Life?” you ask. Circles.Life may have been a “telco” of sorts, but it does not operate its own network, so it’s actually technically a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). Instead, it r...
Dec 2016:After fighting it out with MyRepublic, TPG Telecom won the bid to be 4th telco in Singapore. They bid $105 million. Apr 2017: TPG officially got “spectrum rights” i.e. they could officially start operating in Singapore. Nothing happened.

TPG Mobile is currently offering one SIM-only plan under its trial period, and it’s completely free to register, collect and use. I got mine shortly after it was launched at the start of the year. Actually, the TPG mobile plan is not bad at all, considering it’s free. There’s supposedly unlimited data (with caveats) and there’s even some talktime i...
The TPG mobile plan sounds really good right? But the problem is that TPG mobile data does not work underground. That means you get absolutely no data on the MRT, which is when mobile data is the most valuable to us. I’ve also gotten my signal cut off in many other circumstances, e.g. in the carpark / B1 of a shopping mall and at the back of Cold S...
Now that I’m writing about my experience with TPG Mobile, I feel a bit foolish. Did I really give up a free SIM-only plan for a paid one… Just to be able to look at Lazada on the train!? In my case, it truly is a user problem. My dad has been using TPG Mobile since the start, and he has never had an issue. His phone has a dual-SIM tray, though, and...
A few months ago, TPG Mobile also supposedly started offering free data roaming in Malaysia and Indonesia. I was quite excited because I had a trip to Bintan coming up when I heard about it. Eager to save money on my (already cheap) holiday, I collected a replacement TPG SIM card to use it as a travel SIM. Unfortunately, the data roaming didn’t wor...
To sum up my feelings about TPG Mobile, I’d say that it’s very good for something that’s free, but that it’s also free for a reason. If you sometimes burst your data limit, it makes a good backup SIM cardif you have a dual-SIM phone. Or just use it with your iPad or some other secondary device. If you’re the type of person who will freak out if you...
If you’d like to collect your TPG Mobile SIM card, you need to sign up on the TPG websiteand wait for an email saying that your SIM card is ready. Once you have that order confirmation email, which contains a barcode + order number, you can head down to any TPG collection pointwithin 30 days. There used to be one at Shaw Centre (Orchard) too, but i...
