Which mobile plan is best for the NS lifestyle while serving?

Hi, I'm a pre-enlistee with a PES C2. I have some worries before enlisting after my poly graduation like things I need to prepare before living in the camp. E.g. getting a new phone, etc.

1 Is it true that I can't charge my phone/any items using the incamp wall sockets?
2 Can I use a smartphone or do I have to get a non-camera smartphone/phone?
3 Do I have to use my own mobile data or is there wifi incamp?
4 If yes for 3, which plan on the market is best for NS man?

Hello! Current BMT Sergeant here, so I guess I'd be the best person to answer this question.

Yup, you are only allowed to use powerbanks to charge your phone. No wall plugs are allowed.
You are allowed to use smartphones in your time in BMT. Just take note: you are not allowed to take photos in-camp or you could be charged.
You'd have to use your own mobile data. I use a Singtel prepaid card that gives me 40 GB for $30 a month, and I would say it's a pretty decent deal, since I use a lot of data.

All the best, and good luck for your enlistment :)
