IDA to review: Full Number Portability should include porting from Postpaid to Prepaid

IDA to review: Full Number Portability should include porting from Postpaid to Prepaid

The Issue

SingTel,  M1, StarHub is charging lower rates for prepaid subscribers compared to postpaid users. Calling rates, data roaming rates are substantially lower (>50%). They allow prepaid users to port over to their postpaid but not vice versa. They have been holding us hostage with the non-portability of postpaid numbers over to prepaid. 

Calling rates of 16cents/minute (exclude GST)  compared to 8cents/minute (GST inclusive) 

Need to pay for data roaming package for postpaid users compared to data roam at Singapore local rates for selected countries. 

Charges $5+GST for caller number display compared to free CND for prepaid users. 

It is long overdue for Singapore to have FULL NUMBER PORTABILITY.
