KEY POINTS

  • ●StarHub allows customers to recontract their mobile packages 3 months before contract end
  • ●Recontract vouchers are automatically sent via SMS only to customers whose bills exceed a certain spending threshold
  • ●Basic users who don't receive an automatic voucher can call StarHub customer service (1633) to request one
  • ●A relationship manager will contact you within 5 working days with your voucher value
  • ●Recontract vouchers can be worth S$100 or more, even for basic accounts

IN SIMPLE TERMS

When your StarHub mobile contract is about to end, you can renew it. Some customers automatically get money-off vouchers by text, but if you don't see one in your renewal message, you can call StarHub customer service to ask for it—and you might get one anyway.

WHY IT MATTERS

Customers can unlock discounts on phone renewal simply by asking, saving money on their next contract.
The process takes only about 15 minutes of phone time to potentially secure a meaningful saving.
Basic users are not excluded from voucher eligibility; they just need to proactively request one.
Knowing the 3-month window before contract end allows customers to plan ahead for their renewal.

WHERE DO YOU STAND?

Should telecommunications companies automatically offer recontract vouchers to all customers, or is it fair to require customers to ask for them?

The Full Story

In general, StarHub lets you recontract your mobile phone package 3 months prior to the end of your contract.

But it appears to me that a StarHub recontract voucher will only be presented to you AUTOMATICALLY (via SMS) if your mobile phone bills hit a certain amount.

So how do you get yours if you a basic user who doesn’t spend beyond the monthly subscription fee and no recontract voucher is given to you?

How Do I Know If I Didn’t Get the StarHub Recontract Voucher?

About 3 months prior to the end of your mobile phone contract, you should receive a SMS (see following example) from StarHub encouraging you to renew your contract.

If the SMS doesn’t include the value of your StarHub recontract voucher, you can assume that it is not given to you automatically.

Dear Valued Customer, it’s time to renew your mobile phone package. Check out our latest phone offers at any StarHub shop or Exclusive Partner outlet today! To Unsub from SMS, reply Unsub

How Much Is The Recontract Voucher Worth?

I managed to secure a S$100 StarHub recontract voucher for a basic account that barely exceeds its monthly subscription fee.

So How Do I Get Mine (After Receiving The SMS)?

  • Simply call StarHub at 1633 and request to speak to a customer care consultant
  • Tell the consultant that you have received a SMS stating that you can renew your mobile phone contract and you will like to find out the value of your recontract voucher
  • The consultant shall inform you that a relationship manager will get in touch with you within 5 working days on the value of your voucher

That’s all! It’s just about 15 minutes of my time in exchange for an extra S$100 off my new mobile phone.

Hope this information will help you achieve the same or more!
