M1 rolls out upsized mobile plans as telco pricing war heats up

Two SIM-only plans were unveiled.

M1 has launched two new SIM-only plans and revealed an upsized data bundle for its existing mobile plans, a day after fourth telco hopeful MyRepublic unveiled the details of its mobile and broadband plans.

M1’s new plans are priced at $20 per month and $15 per month. The mySIM+ 20 comes with a data bundle of 4GB, 150 minutes of calls and 800 SMS/MMS. For $15, the mySIM+ 15 offers 1GB data, 100 minutes of calls and 600 SMS/MMS.

M1 also launched an Upsized Data offer priced at S$5.90 per month, which is available to customers who wish to boost their data bundles by up to 12GB. Upsized Data is available on M1’s Lite+ smartphone plans and above.

Analysts fear that M1 will be the most impacted by the entry of a fourth telco.

DBS reckons that M1 will lose 10% of its group revenue to a new player by 2022.

"The new player intends to target consumers with high data-capacity usage (12 GB/month) at low price. However, its network coverage may not match the incumbents’ coverage for a couple of years. We project M1 and StarHub to lose 10% and 4% of their group revenue to this player by 2022," DBS said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
