Review of Singapore’s 4th telco TPG Trial network
6 Jan 2019
TPG begins it’s trial of it’s LTE network starting from Woodlands users. Pre registered users collected their SIM cards and are offered a 12 months trial. The selected users will be given 2 GB per day of data at 4G speeds and it will be throttled to 1 Mbps after the first 2 GB is consumed. The 4G speed will be reset after midnight. Effectively, the plan simply give users a 30 x 2GB or 60 GB of data per month with unlimited 1 Mbps connection throughout the day. It also include 20 call minutes to landlines and 20 SMS. There is unlimited calls to local mobile lines.
As TPG is a 4G network, voice calls will only be available in VoLTE mode. Newer phone models will support this feature.
We will be conducting tests at various (ongoing) in the next couple of days. So stay tuned to this page.
Before you begin, you will need to manually assign a APN to the TPG SIM.
The parameters to used are :
APN name : tpg
APN : tpg
If your smartphone supports VoLTE, you will get a SMS notification which looks like this :
