Singapore’s newest mobile service provider eight has plans from S$8/month

Not exactly the ideal start to your day, right?

No more worrying about your show getting cut off as the train whisks you from an above-ground station to an underground one, such as from Redhill to Tiong Bahru or from Kallang to Lavender, depending on which direction you’re travelling.
The plans by eight are very reasonably priced, too.
