Singtel mio (Absolutely Ludicrous)

Well I finally signed up for the SINgtel mio (Major-problem, Inferior-services, Overspoofed-badly) Its worse off then when it was separately sold. One of my pet peeves, is its billing over stages. Its charging us up front and then returning us the money the next month making thousands of dollars through bank interest rates. Then charging us 50 cents if we refuse to pay the exorbitant fees.

1st. mio Voice
Absolutely voiceless, can't use calling cards, have problem dialling 019, 013, and all those numbers which were so useful before. It may have incoming & outgoing calls free within Singapore, but all the other functions fall in other packages which are chargeable. The voice quality absolutely sucks! Where is the clear voice technology so clearly touted a few years ago.

2nd. mio Mobile
The mio Mobile is an additional S$15 on top of your normal charges, but obviously this is good for those whole phone bills hit more than S$50 a month. Else those who stay within their S$25, need not apply. But once again, I found through the net, that this is among the cheapest plans available. Unlimited calls through the internet.

3rd. mio Broadband
The are no differences, except that it is so much more slower than before. It is but cheaper than Qala and M1 broadband. Except that it cannot be brought around with you, but being a Singtel mio customer allows you full access to all Wireless@SG functions.

Well what ever the problems, within the coming months either the mio will shine else it will surely bomb, literally driving the oversized nail through the SINgtel coffin!
