Singtel "Free Trial" Service

  For all you SingTel Mobile subscribers, as well as for those who know people who are SingTel Mobile subscribers.
  
  Please be aware that SingTel Mobile is randomly signing up its subscribers to a "free trial" for one of its value-added services (the service where when someone calls the SingTel Mobile subscriber, he will hear a song instead of the normal ringing tone).
  
  If you don't opt-out of the free trial after 1 month, you will automatically be subscribed to the chargeable version of the service ($4.28 per month).
  
  The only way SingTel Mobile will inform you of this "free trial" is by sending you a couple of SMS messages wishing you a merry christmas then explaining the service (these appear to be normal SingTel adverts and some people might just delete them without reading).
  
  Please be warned and unsubscribe if you don't want to get charged, and let your friends/family know.
