StarHub offers unlimited data on weekends

Singapore’s StarHub has launched a range of new postpaid mobile plans offering free unlimited local data access on weekends.

The range of plans will offer unmetered access from 12am on Saturdays to 11:59pm on Sundays.

During the week the plans range from 3GB of bundled data for S$48 ($35.46) per month to 15GB for S$238. Additional allocations of between 5GB and 20GB depending on the plan can be purchased for S$10 per month, and 2GB can be purchased for roaming in multiple destinations for 30 days for S$15.

Data can be shared with family members for a small additional fee.

Voice allocations will be 200 minutes for the base plan and 400 minutes for the S$68 plan, with unlimited voice for the higher tier plans. SMS will be charged at 5.35 cents for all but the highest-tier plan, which comes with unlimited SMS and MMS.

Customers with compatible smartphones will be able to take advantage of StarHub’s nationwide 400Mbps LTE-A coverage, and the operator has started deploying gigabit-class network upgrades in anticipation of 1Gbps capable handsets.

“Fueled by more advanced phones and pixel-heavy content, Singapore consumers’ appetite for data continues to grow. With our new data-focused plans, we are enabling our customers to do more of what they love on their smartphones freely and at much faster speeds too,” StarHub head of product  Justin Ang said.

“We will continue to innovate in step with our customers’ changing digital lifestyles to boost customer satisfaction.”
