Alternatively, spend more on a MyRepublic 5G plan to boost the gigabytes, call minutes and SMS allowances. Most MyRepublic plans also include data roaming for Malaysia and Indonesia.

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 $8.71 per month for MyRepublic’s cheapest SIM-only plan, which comes with 88GB 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 Starter Plan is the next cheapest option, which costs $9.90 per month for 288GB of local data, 200 local call minutes and 100 SMS. This MyRepublic SIM-only plan also has 3GB of monthly data roaming for use in Malaysia and Indonesia.

MyRepublic’s next SIM-only plan is the Classic Plan. It costs $14.90 per month for 500GB of max-speed data, plus 400 local call minutes and 400 SMS.
