Oh crap,don’t tell me its singtel again, they r already overcharging the phones on contract(eg. Pay $500 for lumia 1020 on a $39.90 contact) and now bringing up this!
IM having an Odd Issue, Im on net10 and i have used the nexus 4 and 5 (which are both still active) and i recently picked up an unlocked AT&T LG G2, and for some reason the same APN setting will not allow me to send or receive picture messages, can anyone help?
At the end of these I always feel like I want to “let it whip”.
Charging more for whatsapp? Yeah om Verizon and att. Those companies need to die or become competitive.
hey ***** I am from Singapore but if they were to put the whatsapp charges, it would be a nightmare as my dad sign a line for me at a cost of $58 per month with only 3GB
AND I LOVE YOUR SHOW ALOT KEEP IT UP!!
As far as the SingTel thing goes, I can understand that being the case. If you’re on a capped data plan (which IIRC are really generous in Singapore) and you don’t want your data being eaten up by all your Whatsapping, you can pay the extra and have Whatsapp usage not taken from your allowance.
On the other hand if you’re on an unlimited data plan (don’t know if they’re offered) then I can see why you’d get annoyed about it, since everything is supposed to be included in those sorts of plans.
Just don’t use whatsapp. Switch to wechat. Much better imho.

I think some clarification has to be done. The Singapore Telecom company has the $6.42 as an added option, not a forced choice. This means you can choose to have WhatsApp to be under your normal billing or pay extra for unlimited WhatsApp and won’t count towards your other data usage.

I use SingTel that is also known as Singapore Telecom and I must say carriers charge high prices for using data
Hello can I know when the update available to xperia z to kitkat
Any idea on how to remove a 3rd party app that automatically change itself to a system app without root?
carriers charging for certain apps usage? man that sucks, oh well it’s like the days when carriers used to charge for bbm usage again ‑_-
Staying in Singapore, using SingTel for my data plans and i have not been charged for using whatsapp yet. Maybe this is special and u might wanna ask the Telcos regarding this.
Which phone are u using right now ?
What did u do with ur note n 7000 ?
***** Bro does our cell’s battery really gets week as we put it on charge frequently???
And also please let us know that removing it before its 100% also causes harm or not…
LI am using Moto X.
In Mexico they do the same. They change extra to be able to use what’s app.
LOL @ 0:13 all the time from people using iphones “When is Android coming to my phone?”
whatsapp is free in India hahaha
Thank god I don’t live in Singapore charging for Whatsapp is outrageous!
Will Moto G be updated to 4.4.3 KitKat…?
keep the work man.
Why can’t no one tell me if I won the Nexus 5? I’m not really sure, please responde Android Authority Team 🙁
there’s an easy way pt not subscribe to the whats app plan and not get extra charges ‚install a VPN i recommend hotspot shield
If my network charges me for whatsapp I would shift to bbm in that case 😉
I’m thinking about getting a Nexus 5 from the Play Store but I can’t find that much info about the warranty. Does the Nexus 5 come with warranty? I live in Canada
I m not receiving code no to install wattsapp on my registered no
