With a 3G femtocell device from the company, it will connects a user’s 3G mobile phone directly to its broadband router at home so that users can make voice and video calls and send SMS over StarHub’s cable network from their mobile phones. The ‘Home Zone’ is offered at a monthly subscription of $30 (without GST). Customers who subscribe to the VAS from now till 31 December 2008 can enjoy a special 50% discount for 12 months.

StarHub is making all local outgoing voice, video calls and SMS free for customers using the ‘Home Zone’ service, ensuring that users, who make frequent mobile calls and SMS from home, can enjoy significant cost-savings on their mobile phone bills.

While all outgoing local voice calls, video calls and SMS are free – MMS, IDD calls, mobile downloads, mobile surfing and other GPRS activities conducted over the mobile device will be charged at standard published rates.

Since the historic Apple’s iPhone 3G launch in the SingTel Comcentre, Exeter Road, Singapore, on August 22nd, Singtel has sold more than 20,000 units of the Apple iPhone 3G during three week. To be rough, it is counted as about 1000 units sold per day!


This is the first time the telco has given a clear indication of sales after securing an exclusive deal with Apple to distribute the phone here ahead of rivals StarHub and MobileOne (M1). The phone is one of SingTel’s fastest selling handsets ever (and) interest in the iPhone 3G remains high.

SingTel is the country’s largest telecommunications company and the largest mobile network operator in the Asia Pacific outside of the People’s Republic of China. Singapore joins 17 other countries in Asia, Europe and Latin America that get their first taste of the iPhone.
