5 Biggest Concerns and How We Overcome Them

People generally want to change their mobile number, they also can afford the fee of just $949, which is much lower than a brand new phone that easily costs $1.5K to $2.5K (and only last 2 years).  There are 5 main concerns and today let's address them:

1. Afraid Will Lose All Data and Contacts in the Old Number

Solution: Your data is never with your mobile number or SIM.  

As for your contacts, you can always retain your old number for a period, say 3 months, and do a call forwarding.  People that call your old number you can still see and receive, and you can inform them of your new number

2. Too Emotionally Attached to the Old Number

Solution: This is like people too emotionally attached to the old shophouse or kampong and refused to move to new HDB flats in the 1960s and 1970s.  But we are now in 2021, why still attached to something that has been gone long ago and no longer serves us?  

Anyway, if you like your old number so much, you can always keep it, just for mobile data use, and only use your new number.  You can also do up a moment for your old number

3. Afraid that the telcos will not allow us to change mobile number

Answer: IMDA governs all mobile numbers in Singapore.  No telcos can refuse you to change your number, it is against the law. 

4. Afraid that my old telco contract will be affected and got to incur penalties 

Answer: We are only changing your mobile number, not your mobile contract.  

Assuming You are with Singtel now and our new number is from M1. You can always take the new SIM from M1 and after about 2 weeks, go to Singtel to do a 'Renumbering' of your existing Singtel contract. 

Your contract with your existing telco remains the same. 

5. Too Expensive

Finally, we hit the nail in the coffin.  People simply find the fee to change mobile numbers too expensive. 

Finally, we hit the nail in the coffin.  People like You simply find the fee too expensive or cannot afford the fee. 

Of course, it is expensive

You mean you expect to change your life with very little money?  We are talking about CHANGING YOUR LIFE, not changing your clothes.  

We know changing mobile numbers is not for everyone.  It is only for those that are serious about their life.   It is only for people that want to make a change, not just lips service.  

If you are going to live for the next 20, 30, 40, or 50 years, how much is that change of life worth to You?  

You know that changing your mobile number can improve 6 areas of your life:
  1. Health: how much more you want to spend in health care from now on?
  2. Better career or business: how much more you want to earn from your present income? Is it $500 more a year? Or $500 more a month?
  3. Better relationships.  This is immeasurable
  4. Better Personality: What is the value if you can strengthen your strengths and weaken your weaknesses?  Are you able to earn much more from this?
  5. More Benefactors.  I know for me just one good benefactor can earn me extra several thousand dollars a year. 
  6. More wealth: From the above, how much can you gain in your wealth and how much can you save from losing less in your wealth?

You know the sums better than me!  Compare this figure to the professional fees. The decision is obvious.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co
