Group chats are where friendships are tested, supper plans are made (and cancelled), and the occasional “who’s free to meet up tonight” message pops up. Whether it’s on WhatsApp, Telegram, or even WeChat, every Singaporean group chat has a few unique personalities.
And yes, you might just recognise yourself as one of these!
1. The “Good Morning” Uncle/Auntie
This person never fails to greet the group with a cheerful “Good morning, have a blessed day 🙏” text. Bonus points if they include a motivational quote, a sunflower image, or a forwarded prayer chain. Even on public holidays, their messages arrive like clockwork. Perhaps they might forward tips about the latest kopi spots, MRT delays or even hot deals.
Despite their consistency, data usage is surprisingly low, as it primarily involves forwarding messages and GIFs. For them, a SIM-only plan in Singapore with a substantial amount of local data is more than enough to keep messages flowing and send good vibes.
2. The Ghoster
You barely notice them in the chat, and then suddenly… poof! They appear after months of silence. Usually, when they need something from you, they ask about an upcoming trip, or suddenly respond with an “ok” to a message thread from weeks ago.
Since they hardly use any data at all, all they need is an affordable SIM-only plan that covers the daily essentials to stay connected, without spending more than necessary.
3. The Voice Note Machine
Why type when you can just rant about anything for 3 minutes straight? Usually it starts with “eh bro…” or “ok listen ah…” and then somehow always ends up sharing the whole day’s saga, from either MRT delays to kopi run mishaps. You will pause and wonder whether you should reply immediately or not bother replying and let it play in the background.
Voice messages, videos, and forwarded audio clips can quickly consume data. These people are the ones who need a SIM-only plan with ample data – otherwise, they might just get cut off mid-story.
4. The Meme Dealer
This group texter keeps the chat alive. From SGAG memes from the olden times to TikToks about MRT delays or the latest dancing trends – they always have something to entertain the group. Their timing is always just right: just when everyone stops chatting, a new meme resurrects itself instantly.
And, of course, these videos and images can consume data quickly. To stay up-to-date with the latest memes and ensure they can always share the next viral gem, a data plan with generous local data is essential.
5. The Planner
This one is the “mom” or the “dad” of the group. The organiser – from supper outings, to a new activity at Orchard, or even an overseas trip to Thailand. They create polls, spreadsheets, even mini itineraries, all for a kopi session at the hawker centre. Without them, information would get lost in the sea of texts and nobody would know where to meet, what to eat or which MRT exit to take.
Data use for these types of people is moderate, but reliability is key for them. A steady, reliable network would help them coordinate the group without missing any details.
6. The Spammer
Instead of one long message, they send several short ones in a row:
“hey”
“where are you”
“im at the pasir ris interchange there”
“faster leh i hungry already”
Their data usage is not particularly high, but the sheer number of notifications can cause your phone to buzz endlessly (unless you put them on silent mode). All they need is a simple SIM-Only plan to keep their updates coming through loud and clear.
So… Which One are You?
At the end of the day, whether you are the meme dealer, the ghoster, or the “good morning” auntie or uncle, group chats would not be the same without you.
The good news? Whatever your style, there’s a SIM-only plan in Singapore that fits. From cheap data plans for casual users to unlimited data for the hardcore meme sharers, redONE Mobile has you covered!
