Keep the +65 OTP path, or replace it?

Singpass and bank SMS still need a reachable number. Compare prepaid keep, postpaid keep, port, and drop-and-replace sketches.

Strategy to price

How this sketch works

  1. Prices keeping prepaid, keeping postpaid, porting out, or dropping the number.

  2. Multiplies monthly keeps by months needed and adds one-time costs where they apply.

  3. Recommends the true minimum with no handicap for any path.

What to do with the number

  • Dropping the number often breaks Singpass SMS and bank OTP until you re-bind contacts.
  • Check postpaid early-termination fees before comparing against prepaid.
