Hi all,
I am arriving to Singapore on the 26th and have some last minute questions.
1. My cellphone carrier is Verizon and from my knowledge from talking to customer support is that I must suspend my account and find a new carrier and SIM card for when I arrive to Singapore. Is that how everyone else went about it? I still have a little over $1000 in my iPhone x balance that I have a payment plan on. Do you guys recommend paying it off and then disconnecting my line completely?
2. I have MbFinancial for my checking account and a Chase freedom credit card. I am not too worried with my credit card as I can just cut my card and not use it entirely, but with my MbFinancial checking account, do you guys recommend freezing the account?
3. Do you guys recommend me using only cash for my first month there? For my new role I will be salary and I wont get paid immediately. Or do you guys recommend me keeping my US bank account open and using my card until I have a Singapore bank account open? Is there a way to transfer USD to SGD after I open my bank account in Singapore?
Thanks
