It is recommended that you get iFlexi plan instead of getting a Voice Only plan with BroadBand on Mobile (BBOM) as a Value-Added Service (VAS). This is because you will end up paying more and the bundled data usage is much lesser than what is given in an iFlexi plan.

Received an email from Guyi Shen who is the director of Lobangclub which is an iPhone App (for now). I find the app pretty cool. It is similar to ShopSavvy and Singtel’s Price Pal.

What is Lobangclub?

Lobangclub is a free Singaporean app that finds you the best deals on any product. We do this by contributions from you, our community of shoppers. We already have over 500,000+ products in Singapore.

How to use?

• Step 1: Scan a barcode on the product you want to buy.
• Step 2: You will receive a list of all the shops in Singapore that sell that product and the prices.
• Step 3: You can help us by either contributing a price or verifying that the price is correct.

It uses your Facebook credentials for login and the UI is pretty good.

I tried the barcode scanning on 2 items (Panadol ActiFast & Nescafe Blend 37), it works perfect and even give you a picture of the product after you scanned the barcode.

I am able to get the price for the Nescafe Blend 37 but no price is available for the Panadol ActiFast. If there are no prices available, you can tap on the “Got lobang?” button and it will bring you to a screen for you to add the price, location of the item and even indicate a sale period.

I wish they have a karma or reputation points system, to entice users to submit prices and the community can mark them accurate by a “like” or something.

I have put up a comparison of the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN) Fibre Price Plans offered by the 3 telcos in Singapore (SingTel, M1 and Starhub) and SuperInternet.

Notes

1. All price stated for SingTel and SuperInternet includes 7% GST. I am unsure about the stated price for M1 and Starhub.
2. SingTel has 2 plans for 200Mbps Fibre, the one I stated is the cheaper one.
3. SingTel bundle lots of crap to their Fibre plans, you will need to check their site for more information.
4. M1 did not state their International Speed and Installation Fee.
5. If you are going to reference it on your website or blog, please give the credits where it is due =)

SingTel has announced their price plans for OpenNet Fibre Internet connection. From tomorrow (1st September 2010), you can register your interest in the high-speed fibre services at www.singtel.com/exstream.

SingTel OpenNet Price Plans

If you ask me, it is still pretty expensive. I hope they will have a exPress 200 plan because exPress 150 plan is not really a huge jump from Starhub 100Mbps cable.
