MyRepublic mobile plans review

MyRepublic has been around for more than a decade, offering fibre broadband and SIM-only mobile plans to Singaporeans. In terms of mobile plans, MyRepublic has a range of cheap to pricier picks, offered on either the M1 4G or M1 5G mobile network.

Here’s a list of popular MyRepublic SIM-only plans from our database.

MyRepublic SIM-only mobile plans

MyRepublic has a few 4G SIM-only plans, most of which are cheap, but the priciest one comes with unlimited data. The cheapest plan pricing is available for customers not porting in from M1; they have access to the same plans, they’ll just cost more each month. All MyRepublic plans have unlimited data, with slower speeds if you use up all of your max-speed monthly data allowance. They also include free caller ID, as well as incoming voice calls and SMS. If you want to avoid a physical SIM card, MyRepublic plans support eSIM devices.

It costs $9.90 per month for MyRepublic’s cheapest SIM-only plan, or $6 a month for the first 6 months if you're a new sign up. It comes with 288GB of max-speed data, 200 local call minutes and 100 local SMS. Next to comparable SIM-only plans in our database, this MyRepublic plan is one of the cheapest, though there are cheaper alternatives with more data from Zero1, ZYM Mobile and eight.

The MyRepublic 4G Classic Plan is the next cheapest option, which costs $14.90 per month (or $10.90 for new sign ups). You'll get 500GB of local data, 400 local call minutes and 400 SMS. This MyRepublic SIM-only plan also has 5GB of monthly data roaming for use in Malaysia and Indonesia.
