Local Calls
As of July 2008, Singtel and M1 both
charge S$0.16 during the day and S$0.08 during night on local calls. Starhub
charges a flat rate S$0.22 on the first minute and S$0.08 on the next minute.
The SMS rate for the three prepaid service providers is S$0.05.
You can request for a turn-on of
unlimited FREE incoming calls service but you have to pay daily for this
service. For Singtel, you will pay S$0.60 a day. For M1, you will pay S$0.59.
For Starhub, you will pay S$0.59. If you expect to have a number of incoming
calls during the day, it is advisable to avail of this service. Otherwise, you
will be charged with the incoming calls.
Do check with the provider as there could be promotions available. For example, Singtel customers get 10 days of free incoming calls with every $10 top-up.

To make an overseas call, you need
dial the access code followed by the country code, area code and telephone.
