UOB exchange in T1 however, doesn't have them.

They do have the more expensive $32 ones, with 15GB valid for 10 days as you may expect.

Although I know there are "better" deals to be had, the convenience of just getting everything done as I exited the 'plane won out and I took one of these. I got a Starhub.

However, when I subsequently checked into my hotel (Grand Pacific), the room comes with a "handy phone" - and android device that you can carry around with you, which includes unlimited data. And it works as a mobile hotspot. :-)

That does mean carrying an extra device, and one with untested battery life. But I'm ok with that.

I therefore have an activated and working SIM I'd be happy to part with for some mutually agreed on donation towards a power bank, but of course less that the original cost.

It has one day's usage today totalling about 100MB out of the 15GB. It worked fine all around the venue area at almost always 4G. The data bundle is valid for 10 days form today.

If anyone'd like to take it, I'll be around the venue tomorrow morning in the Sofia room. Reply off list and we can arrange to meet.

Regards,
Daniel
