Setup
Set up your eSIM before you travel — it takes about a minute. Scan once, switch it on when you arrive, and you’re online.

17 plans for Singapore, from 3 to 50 GB. Validity runs from 1 day to 30 days. 17 of them run on 5G where the local network has it.
11 plans can be topped up without installing a second eSIM. Plans run on M1, SingTel, Starhub.
Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure — the plan list above this section is the same data.
No regional bundle covers Singapore — a single-country plan is the only option here, which is usually the cheaper one anyway.
A travel eSIM for Singapore is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. It stays dormant until you arrive in Singapore, then connects automatically to M1, SingTel on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM simply carries your data.
Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Singapore plans start at $3.99 across 6 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.
No. A travel eSIM for Singapore is a local data plan, not international roaming — you pay the price you see up front, with no per-megabyte bill from your home carrier. Set the eSIM as your data line and switch data roaming off on your home SIM, and there are no surprises when you get home. Full refund any time before you install, so there’s no risk in buying ahead.

Singapore connectivity guide
Singapore is the easiest country in this catalogue to stay connected in. Coverage is effectively complete — underground, in tunnels, across the island — and there is no meaningful gap to plan around. That changes the questions worth asking: how small a plan can you get away with, whether a Singapore-only plan makes sense for what is usually a short stop, and what happens when you cross to Johor Bahru for the day. This guide answers those, and covers the free wifi network that lets you use less data than anywhere else.
