The Singapore prepaid wireless program is called 7-Connect and is based upon the 7-Eleven SpeakOut Wireless program in the US and Canada, the company said.

Victor Chia, CEO of 7-Eleven Singapore, said: People shop at 7-Eleven stores for the convenience, so it was important to us from the first day to offer a program with useful features and with great rates, definitely welcomed by all.

Considering that some prepaid plans in Singapore are as much as 16 cents per minute, we believe our customers will really appreciate the great value of the 7-Connect program – especially the ability to talk for free on nights and weekends.
