M1 redefines the meaning of “unlimited”

Mobile data services (GPRS and 3G) are absurdly overpriced in Singapore, and no telco is moving to provide value to customers. Singaporeans have to suck it up and fork out 0 for most "unlimited" GPRS services.

M1 actually has the gall to advertise an "unlimited" service, with a 1gb limit neatly hidden in the terms & conditions which most people don’t bother to read. Nowhere in the main promotional pages is this limit mentioned.

A phone call to their customer service officers indicates that they will give you a phone call if you do exceed 1gb, or use their network in any way or fashion that M1 decides is unacceptable.

By the way, Webster’s dictionary defined "unlimited" as "lacking any controls: unrestricted."
