Starhub to roll out contract-free sim only plans

Their $50 sim only plan includes a data bundle with 40GB. Starhub is amping up its game in the telco wars as it will launch three new sim only plans which are contract-free, with the lowest plan at $25. The telco thinks that its mid-tier plan which costs $50 will be the most attractive option as it will include a data bundle of 30 GB and a launch bonus of 10 GB. Meanwhile, the highest offer is at $80. The newly launched plans will not bind customers to any minimum subscription period, Starhub explained. Moreover, Caller Number Display (Caller ID) as well as international roaming will also be free-of-charge for customers of said plans which can help them save up to $15.35 per month.
