You can safeguard yourself from buying a stolen or lost phone in Singapore using a simple SMS or Internet screening service provided by the Singapore Police Force. All you need are the mobile phone’s IMEI number (key *#06#) and your own passport/identification number.

Fancy having the latest Singapore news, deals, events and blog posts delivered to you by SMS for free? And Yes, I do mean absolutely ZERO charges! If you are a StarHub Mobile subscriber (pre-paid or post-paid), now you can.

StarHub is now providing free SMS (Twitter) tweeting till 31st December 2010 via a value-added service called MobiTweet. It is available to both pre-paid and post-paid StarHub Mobile customers.

Basically sending updates via global SMS to Twitter using the official +44 (UK) number will cost you a fair bit in Singapore. Fortunately, there are 3rd-party services such as sgBeat and SMSYO that allow you to update your Twitter via local SMS for free.
