Bro, I think you don't have to do that. Just extend validity using the current balance within the SIM card (i.e. your $50).

For instance, M1 can extend the validity for 180 days if you pay $2.40

The cost structure should be similar for other telcos as well.

I see here the top-up (just to extend validity) is $1.40 for 90 days?

An Indo SIM card (I use Telkomsel) from Batam costs Rp10k every 6 months to maintain (that's $1).

A Malaysian prepaid SIM card (I use Digi) costs RM10 every 3 months.

Both can be topped up via credit card (or if you're the kind who is damn scared of anything and everything that links you to the SIM card, then buy a stratch card with the prepaid code top-up, those last up to 3 years)

If the OKT or organizer insist on accepting only a Singapore number, buy a "space card" - a SIM card belonging to someone who used to work here (typically a construction worker or a maid who has already left Singapore). Those cost a bit more

Bro Penguin, do you have lobang for this so called space card you have mentioned?
