Singapore: 17 plans, 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 includes Singapore cover — a single-country plan is the only option here, and it is usually the cheaper one anyway.
A Singapore travel eSIM is a digital SIM that downloads straight to your phone — no plastic card, no queuing at an airport counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (the QR code is in there too), and your phone adds a second line alongside your normal SIM. It stays dormant until your trip begins, then connects automatically to M1, SingTel on 5G where available, LTE everywhere else. Your normal number carries on working for calls and texts while the eSIM handles the data.
Maps, messaging and taxi apps use very little data — roughly 300–500 MB a day. If you add photos, social media and the occasional video, expect to use closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip, a 5 GB plan is usually plenty; for two weeks, tethering, or heavy use, opt for 10 GB or more, or choose a top-up plan you can reload as you go. Singapore plans start at £3.30 across 6 sizes, with the per-GB price clearly shown so you can easily spot the best value.
Yes. A Singapore travel eSIM is a local data plan rather than international roaming — you pay the price you saw online, and there are no per-megabyte charges from your home network provider. Set the eSIM as your mobile data line, switch data roaming off on your normal SIM, and nothing unexpected turns up on your next bill. Full refund at any time before installation, so buying ahead costs you nothing.

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.
