Post-paid mobile users in Singapore jumped to 4.36m

Mobile penetration reached 151.9%.

According to OCBC, core post-paid mobile subscribers grew by 1.0% QoQ to 4.36m in the Apr-Jun quarter, led by StarHub (+1.3% QoQ), SingTel (+1.0%) and M1 (+0.8%). 

But overall subscriber growth seems to be slowing as the market is already 151.9% penetrated.

OCBC said that nevertheless, monthly ARPUs ticked upwards for all three telcos, boosted by more subscribers switching over to the new tieredpricing plans with less generous data bundles; the number of subscribers who exceeded their free bundled data also grew, as more people moved onto the faster 4G network.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
