Thanks for starting this thread. This is not in support of the above telco but i also with them for more than 10yrs. I called up cust.serv. two days ago and they offered me six months free subscription and $25 (from my sunperks points) off a new handset for a new 2yr contract. Maybe i gotta specify that presently i not under any contract and they just trying to tie me down? I am interested in the new SE G900. Can anyone advise whether i should switch telcos or stick with M1? Thanks.

the same happened to me. I have been with M1 since day one of mobile phone ownership. And since i have been using second hand sets, i never had any retention programs from them for the last 8 years. 8 years of ultimate plan. I always hear about my friends getting voucher for renewal when their contract expires, but i don't know why they never gave me anything.... even though i don't have any contract existing!

Recently, one lady called me and told me that she is my relationship manager from M1, and asked if i was happy with their service. I told them i was eyeing on a particular model (handphone not chicks) and she should call me when it is available.

After the model was launch (handphone, not chicks), i repeatedly tried to call her, but was not successful. She finally return my calls. I told her that i am going to switch provider. She ask me why! Well told her about the new price plan and what Starhub was offering...etc...etc... she needed 30 mins to get back to me to see if M1 can match the price.

In the end, they did managed to better the price by $70 bucks, However, i need to stick to my ultimate business plan. Where as i pay $70 more, and I can actually downgrade my plan to a cheaper one. (these days, with free incoming calls, i don't need that much call time any more).

In the end, i still decide to switch provider...

My point is, sometime you need to push them a little, shove them a little, just to get them to get in line with the market. I don't have time for this kind of extra ciriculum in my life... I am not saying that Starhub is better, but after 8 years of being ripped off, i decided to give someone else a try.

guess wat?? m1 did get back to me today, as i m eyein samsung i900. i told them starhub price is at $350 but m1 price is at 420. the cso inform me, the best they can do is i buy the set at $420 w contract n they give me $10 rebates for the next 6 month!! knn!!! wat kind of retention svs is this???

this is really sad!!! now seriously tink of switchin operator...
juz waitin for iphone to cums in, i bet another price war is cumming!!

anyone can share wat the oter telco is doin to retain u as their cust???
