StarHub offers new WeChat prepaid plans
STARHUB has launched a new data plan to get prepaid users not using 3G data to try out the service, as well as give existing prepaid data users more choices.
The telco has teamed up with social-messaging service WeChat, developed by China-based Tencent Holdings, to allow its prepaid customers to chat all they want for 40 cents a day or $6 a month.
Data usage is capped at 1GB a day on the WeChat app, which lets users send text messages and share photos and animated "stickers". WeChat users can also press a button to speak to a group of friends.
Prior to this, StarHub had only prepaid data plans that cover both Web surfing and use of social-messaging service at a flat rate.
Three months ago, SingTel announced a similar partnership with California-based WhatsApp.

Maybank Singapore launches mobile transaction app
Maybank Singapore launches mobile transaction app
Local banks are not resting on their laurels when it comes to online transactions.
Maybank Singapore has launched a new service that allows its customers to transfer or collect money through their mobile phones.
Customers can use Maybank Mobile Money to pay, for instance, online purchases.
All they need is a smartphone with a Maybank app.
The free service also reduces the reliance on cash or cheques among Singaporeans.
It also protects data privacy such as bank account details which are not required for this service.
Maybank said each transaction comes with a personal identification number (PIN) to ensure security.
The money receiver will have to obtain a PIN from the sender to get the funds transferred to their account.
By making the request for a PIN, the sender will ensure that the money is going to the correct party.
