the expiration of free 4g service

if it wasn’t for the news on the 4G VAS subscription charges by Starhub this coming June, i wouldn’t have known that 4G service is chargeable. M1 will be waiving the monthly subscription of $10.70 per month after December 2014.

the plan includes both the standard sunsurf and iphone postpaid plans.

i can probably live without the 4G connection and enable the 4G is an option available on iphone. i supposed the 4G enable/disable toggle is pushed through the carrier’s update, and there is a similar option on android devices. a key consideration should i switch to an android mobile.

updated: the 3 telcos have been ordered by IDA not to charge existing subscribers for 4g services. they have decided not to charge the existing subscribers with minimum contract terms. however, new subscribers will be subjected to the charges, if it has been stated clearly in the contract.
