Prepaid data plan

I needed a pre-paid data plan. I bought a Starhub card for $17 and got SMS, talk time and 100 MB of data, It expire in 30 days. I only needed the data plan, so the SMS and voice seemed was quite wasteful. Is there any cheaper option?

I used a prepaid data plan in Jakarta. It offered 700 MB of data for about SGD 10, but also expire in 30 days. It seemed that the data plan in Jakarta is much cheaper - which is surprising!

The reason you can't get pure mobile plan on the phone is that main bulk of their profit is coming from the voice call, that is local call or international call.

If consumer is allow to have pure data plan on their smart phone, all of us will be choosing to use the voip services such as Skype, which will hurt their profit.

This is why majority of telcos oppose the VOIP services.
