Singtel is ushering customers into the 5G era with a new generation of its XO plans. Its XO Plus plans offer customers a richer mobile experience with the latest 5G handsets, data allowances of up to 150 GB, 5G access, as well as complimentary three-month subscriptions to augmented reality (AR) educational content on Bookful and virtual reality (VR) live music with MelodyVR.
Gan Siok Hoon, MD of Sales & Marketing, Consumer Singapore at Singtel, said, “We know our customers love exciting content and great value, and we are delighted to bring them a whole new world of unique experiences powered by Singtel 5G and our generous XO Plus data bundles. With its ultrafast speeds and low latency, 5G takes content and entertainment to another level.
"Reading can now take on a new dimension with characters coming to life in AR and 3D, and VR concerts will be an immersive treat for the senses without the crowds. As 5G becomes more mainstream, we’ll keep going beyond connectivity to innovate and deliver products and services that best showcase this next-generation technology.
At S$88/month, XO Plus 88 is anticipated to be one of the most popular XO Plus plans with heavy data users and families who can share 60 GB of local data, 600 minutes of talk time and 600 SMS simply by opting for MobileShare supplementary lines.
MelodyVR provides unlimited access to the world’s largest library of 360-degree virtual reality (VR) concerts from global hitmakers like Imagine Dragons, Kelly Clarkson, Lewis Capaldi and more. Offering the next best thing to attending a live gig, MelodyVR lets music fans choose to watch performances from the front row, in the crowd or up close and personal with their favourite artiste onstage through the app’s unique “jump spot” technology.
MelodyVR can be enjoyed on Android and iOS devices,or on compatible VR goggles such as Oculus Go or Samsung Gear for a more immersive concert experience.
XO Plus customers can also turn screen time into engaging reading time with the Bookful app which brings stories and characters to life through AR and 3D animation. Bookful features hundreds of educational titles and games.
Singtel operates Singapore’s most powerful and fastest 5G network, delivering 5G speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps. Since the launch of its 5G network in September 2020, Singtel has expanded its 5G network to provide indoor coverage at VivoCity, the largest mall in Singapore and boosted its islandwide coverage to include key residential hubs such as Clementi and Punggol.
Announced on 3 February, the indoor 5G coverage at VivoCity runs on the 3.5 GHz spectrum and advanced small cell radio dot technology, enabling speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps and a consistent and seamless 5G experience whether they are indoors or outdoors at the mall.
Singtel launched its first indoor 5G experience zone at its exclusive retail store on level 2 of VivoCity at the same time. Anyone with a smartphone can visit the store to experience 5G-powered Wi-Fi and stream exclusive 4K content from Love Nature.
Consumers in Singapore can get a taste of 5G speeds by visiting Singtel’s 5G experience zones at its multimedia kiosks and at UNBOXED Lite on Orchard Road as well. More 5G experience zones will be launched across the island in coming months. Singtel said it would extend its in-building 5G coverage to popular malls such as Ngee Ann City and Bugis Junction over the next few months.
