In this digital age, we recognized that customers also want things simpler, faster and delivered by people who truly care," said Chua.Chua declined to reveal the cost of the rebrand, talking instead about taking a “customer-centric attitude”.

Also from April, customers with service appointments can expect Singtel technicians to arrive within 30 minutes of appointment time.Singtel will also launch a weekly treat called "Better Thursdays with Singtel". As a start, tomorrow postpaid mobile customers will enjoy free outgoing local calls. Subsequently on future Thursdays, there will be treats for customers.Singtel consumer Singapore CEO, Yuen Kuan Moon said: "Our brand promise is an ongoing journey to delight our customers. We are committed to listen closely to our customers and introduce service enhancements that matter most to them."
