Share The Moment, Share The Minutes

They say our children are our precious gems and for parents, playing a significant part in our children’s growing-up years is a priceless experience that can’t be traded for the world.
But as much as you want to spend more time with them, you know you can’t. You’re at work, they’re at school; you want them to come home for dinner, they want to go out and play with friends – life’s commitments and social activities are increasingly keeping parent and children away from each other.
Thanks to SingTel’s RedPAC Supplementary Plan, staying in touch with your children is all but a call or SMS away. RedPAC is specially designed for parent-child usage, and is the first mobile plan in Singapore that lets you share talktime and SMSes with your loved one.
In fact, it is the most affordable postpaid mobile plan in Singapore. At an attractive monthly subscription fee of just $8.56/month (U.P$10.70), the RedPAC subscriber (in this case, your child) can tap into the unused talktime and SMS of the mainline subscriber (i.e. you as the parent). This way, you do not need to waste your unused talktime and/or SMS and can share them to your kids. Furthermore, RedPAC allows you to enjoy up to 1,000 minutes of free calls with each other. It works out to be more than 30 minutes of talktime with your child everyday! RedPAC is an effective and convenient communication tool with your kids.
No more worrying about chalking up a huge phone bill with RedPAC’s various affordable and flexible plans to suit your family’s lifestyle needs. SingTel’s e-billing system, myBill, also allows you to keep track of your child’s call/SMS.
In a nutshell, RedPAC offers:
- Sharing of free talktime and SMS between you and each RedPAC line
- 1,000 minutes of FREE calls* between you and each RedPAC line (This translates to $160.50 of free calls)
- Additional FREE 150 SMS to any mobile number
- FREE in-coming calls** for your RedPAC line(s)
- FREE 3-month Caller-ID for your RedPAC line(s)
- Up to 3 RedPAC lines for each main mobile line
SingTel recognizes that owning a mobile phone is becoming an increasing necessity in our fast-paced world where accessibility and communication are important. With RedPAC, not only do we secure that connection, we want to ensure that you and your child are getting the best out of your mobile phone and plan, in the safest way possible.
You can teach him/her these simple mobile phone safety tips to inculcate the values of responsible mobile usage to your kids:
- Inform your child about the cost associated with calls and SMSes
- Advise your child about seeking your approval before using the phone for value-added functions like phone voting, music downloads or overseas calls
- Make sure your child practices good mobile etiquette such turning phones to silent mode in the library or movie theatres
- Advise your child to reveal his/her mobile number only to people he/she knows and trusts
Sign up for a RedPAC plan today. Not only can you enjoy more savings, allowing your child to have his/her own mobile phone can let him/her learn about responsibility as well!
