Mere hours after potential fourth telco MyRepublic announced they intend to spoil market by offering data-only plans from S$8 per month, Singtel announced the launch of its new add-on DataX2 plan.

This new plan will double its post-paid customers mobile data plan for a flat fee of S$5.90 per month.

This means that a customer on a S$62.90 a month Combo 3 Plan with 3GB of data, can simply add DataX2 to upgrade to 6GB of data for S$5.90 more a month, said a press release sent out at about 5.30pm on March 9, 2016.

This move follows Singtel’s shift towards more data-centric services beginning with its SIM Only plan or a sign that a price war has started to thwart MyRepublic’s entry into the telco market.

Customers will able to apply for this add-on from March 10, 2016, onwards.
