Secondary almost no choice. Most of the information (from cher, CCA) are disseminated via WhatsApp.

yeah also for safety since will let her take public transport if we can't fetch her etc. 

Haha not like now, they go to school general office to call my wife if got any taichi 😄

kids/teacher all on digital now. 

She's also not very socially astute. Upset a few of her friends earlier last year and this year. Lol.
Need to learn how to manage all these better.

Lol I want a plan with low data for my kid.
So she will learn not to spend time watching streaming etc or what not. 😁

 

 

Can consider zero1 6gbd per month. After 6 gbs throttle speed. No issue watching YouTube at throttle speed. Streaming abit lag for football, Netflix show from the Web.

Isn't Super Eight Plan the current $0 . 88GB plan ?

Meaning there's no change in plan.

$8, 188GB is called Double Eight Plan.

where did you see the plan name? I search whole website couldn't find super or double eight except for the 'super' on my account page.

My boy got a smart watch (GPS, live tracking, whatapp messaging).

Recently wifey asked him to take the train from tiong bahru to tuas basin.  He left his dancing shoes inside my ride. 🤣 He had learnt his lesson since then not to treat the car as personal store room.

my girl next year sec 1. She's using my wife's phone for whatsapp nowadays lol.
but also want her to have her privacy as she gets older.

i think hard lah nowadays. But i will put significant restrictions. Night time no handphone use etc. 

my girl has quite a bit of self control so i don't think it's a big problem. For years, I've also been talking about the cons of HP. 

 

Can consider the android "family link" to monitor/control her usage.

If you click the Buy button on the plans, you'll see on the left column. They named them Super, Double, Triple Eight Plans. 😁

Yeah I'm considering since it's 7 dollars. Though eight seems attractive at $8.

seems like eight allowed online sign up and send you the sim card by post already. Possibly can port over even with the free number as there's a field to indicate online. Sadly my NRIC got a chip, take photo cannot apply, listed as got damage 😁

Can try setting dns w security or security & adult content blocking on ur kid's hp, on top of google family.

Zero1 lite plan imho is good as it will teach e kid data rationing, need to ration cos oni 6Gbyte 4g spd, beyond tat is trottle spd (~1mbps), no need scared over run. 01 comes w smart roam natively.

But then again, e 8 plan w free roaming/idd will b a saver when u go overseas w ur kid, no scare lost or separated.

Kids being kids, dun b 2 quick to say 100g/188g sure enough, I've a friend gav his kid 100g de, n his kid manage to use it up 1 wk short of renewal.

I would suggest for a start go for the zero (6gbs). Only when she show discipline then probably subscribe the 188 gbs for her. Anyway no contract sim. Can switch any times. 😁

This one very easy. Phone is confiscated lol.

Yeah guess IDD call is useful when settling stuff overseas. but then whatsapp should be good enough. google map sharing location.

Tis security dns gd to prevent browsing into phishing site etc, not oni adult stuff.

B4 free data roaming is available, i like smart idd roam (ie, no sub fees), rates not tat x < $0.50/min. always told/remind my kids tat their hp hav smart roam, if lost or need to call me, just call (saved number must hav +65 prefix)

Nowadays w free data roam, even easier.
