<above pic: The current Whatsapp plan offered by Singtel>
UPDATE [12:30pm, 27th Feb 2014]: According to a HWZ Forum Post this plan was implemented several months ago and it is catered for those who don’t have an existing Data Plan or would like to reduce their Data usage from Whatsapp.
Here’s TheGeekyBeng’s Two Cents on this matter:
1. How much DATA can your Whatsapp take? For a heavy user like me, the most I did was 500MB (still have some left over)
2. To be fair, if this was catered to those people whom are using their Smart Phones without Data plans, then Kudos to Singtel, however I would recommend Singtel to rephrase their statement properly and also market this clearer to the right target audience – If you need help marketing, TheGeekyBeng’s daytime business would be perfect to help you drive your message across.
Meantime, in case I have been overly agitated, kindly forgive me.

Can dearest Singapore’s IDA please come out and make a statement about this? Why are we paying EXTRA for an APP that relies on the Data Plans that we are paying for, in my case I am paying for 10Gb extra Data every month?
Is IDA sleeping? Can IDA please step in and ask SingTel to wake up their idea?
