Update 1: Sharp-eyed iMerlion reader Kaps has found out that you can save money by buying your 8GB 3G iPhone from the SingTel shop online. Sign up for the iFlexi Lite or iFlexi Value and pay $338 or $48 respectively, saving you $50 compared to buying it at the shop (plus you get to avoid the queue.)
Update 2: M1 has brought down its data usage cap to $30 a month to match its competitors.
Correction: Chart updated to reflect that StarHub's $98 a month plan actually has 700 minutes of voice credits, not 500 minutes. Also, the data cap in M1's $98/mth plan is not relevant. Thanks to reader MoleWall for noticing.

singtel online price for lowest plan - iphone 3g 8gb costs only $338...50$ cheaper than the shop. this offer doesn't apply to other models.
Thanks for the tip-off! I've added that information to the story!
I don't suppose these are retroactive? My data limit is still 1 GB according to my data usage app.
Actually, they are retroactive. If you signed up for the iFlexi plan before, SingTel will automatically upgrade you. However, it has to be the iFlexi plan. If you've signed up for the BBOM plan like I did, then currently you (we) are out of luck....
SingTel should have sent you an email about your upgrade. Alternatively call them to confirm or look at your bill to see what plan you have...
Good luck! (Fingers crossed!)
Note: The cap in your data usage app has to be set by you. The app has no way to tell what plan you are on. You must have set that previously. The app should allow you to change the data limit. (though if you have 12GB, you pretty don't need a data usage app....)
Note: Sorry, SingTel should have sent you an SMS, not an email, telling you about the upgrade.
Will singtel change the outgoing call mins on the $95 month plan~~~~~~~~~~~ to 700 mins like the rest of the telco????....nbzzzz
