Singapore is small, fast and run on apps. You tap into the MRT, order chicken rice from a hawker queue you found on a map, book a Grab to Sentosa and check the radar before the 4 p.m. downpour. A travel eSIM puts you on local data the moment you leave the gate, so the first thing you do in Singapore is enjoy it, not hunt for a SIM counter.
Stopover or full week, you want data from the gate
Plenty of Gulf travellers meet Singapore as a long layover on the way to Bali, Australia or Japan. Changi has good free Wi-Fi, but the minute you take the train into the city for Gardens by the Bay or a late dinner at Lau Pa Sat, you're on your own.
With an eSIM installed at home, you keep your own SIM in the phone for calls and simply switch your mobile data to the travel line when you land.
Whose network you're on
Our Singapore plans run on M1 and SingTel, two of the island's main operators. In a city this compact you'll be in town most of the time, which is exactly where mobile coverage is strongest. Deep inside some MRT tunnels or big malls you may notice the odd dip, as you would anywhere.
How much data does Singapore take?
A two- or three-day stopover with maps, messages and Grab rides is light work: our 1GB plan for 7 days is $2.5. A full week of sightseeing, posting from the Marina Bay light show and video-calling home in the evenings fits better in 5GB for 30 days at $6.
Working remotely from a Tiong Bahru café, or streaming on the way back to the hotel? Look at the larger plans and stop worrying about the counter.
Landing checklist (60 seconds)
Turn the travel line on, set Mobile Data to it, and switch Data Roaming off on your home SIM so it can't run up a bill. Open Grab or your map. You're ready for the city.

Quick answers
Do I get a Singapore phone number?
No. Our Singapore eSIM is a data-only plan, with no local number and no calls. Keep your own SIM for calls and use WhatsApp or other apps over the eSIM data.
When does my plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Singapore, not when you buy it. Install it before you fly on Wi-Fi, and the clock waits for you.
Is the data unlimited?
No. Every plan has a fixed amount of data for a fixed number of days. If you run low, choose a bigger plan next time or top up with a new one.
Will it work if I hop over to Malaysia?
This plan is sold for Singapore. Coverage in other countries is not included unless the plan says so.
