In Singapore, Singtel owns the largest mobile network for users seeking a 4G or 5G mobile plan. The company has been around since the late 19th century and started out offering home landline phone services. It has since evolved into a leading telecommunications provider in Singapore.
Users can choose from SIM-only plans, postpaid plans bundled with a mobile phone or tablet, or prepaid plans. The more you pay, the more data, call minutes, messages, and plan features are included. All Singtel plans offer eSIM support so there’s no need for a physical SIM card for those who don’t want to wait to get connected.
Singtel SIM-only plans
Singtel has four SIM-only plans, all of which use the Singtel 5G mobile network and operate on 30-day cycles with no contracts (except the Enhanced Lite SIM Only 5G, which has a 12-month contract). It's also worth noting that all Singtel postpaid plans include upfront fees ranging from $10.90 for eSIMs to $32.70 for physical SIM cards. Although they tend to be some of the priciest plans in the market, they do come with added extras like free streaming and extra-fast 5G speeds.
The cheapest is the Lite SIM Only 5G, which costs $35 per month (or $24.50 for new sign-ups) on a 12-month contract for 300GB of local 2X speed 5G data, 10GB Malaysia roaming data, 400 minutes for local calls and 400 local messages. This Singtel SIM-only plan also comes with three months of Disney Plus Premium, McAfee Mobile Security, Burpple Beyond, Calm Premium, and Straits Times All Digital.
Singtel’s next cheapest SIM-only mobile plan is the Enhanced Core SIM Only plan, which costs $40 per month for unlimited local 2X speed 5G data, 50GB Malaysia roaming, 4GB Asia roaming, 700 local call minutes and 700 local messages. You also get six months of Disney Plus Premium, six months of McAfee Mobile Security, and $5 monthly cashback on a new phone with PayLater.
Singtel’s penultimate priciest SIM-only plan is the Priority Plus plan. It costs $55 per month for unlimited 4X speed local 5G data, unlimited Malaysia roaming data, 13GB Asia roaming data, 1,000 local call minutes and 1,000 SMSes. Customers also get an additional mobile line that shares the main plan's inclusions. In terms of perks, users also get six months each of Disney Plus Premium and HBO Max Standard, plus Mobile Protect, 12 months of McAfee Mobile Security, and $10 monthly cashback on a new phone.
The most expensive Singtel SIM-only plan, Priority Ultra, costs $80 per month for unlimited 4X speed 5G data, unlimited Malaysia roaming, 18GB worldwide roaming, 6GB Asia roaming, 1,500 local call minutes, and 1,500 local SMSes. In terms of extras, users also get $20 cashback per month on a new phone with PayLater, Mobile Protect, and 12 months each of McAfee Mobile Security, Disney Plus Premium, and HBO Max Standard. Plus, like the other Priority, you get an additional line that shares your plan's inclusions.

Singtel phone and device plans
Singtel lets users pair a SIM-only mobile plan with a range of devices, paying them off over 12, 24 or 36 months. These devices include popular mobile phones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 or Apple iPhone 17, tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 or iPad Air, and other non-cellular devices like Acer laptops and Samsung TVs. Postpaid device plans can either have contracts or no contracts.
No-contract postpaid device plans have around 80 phones to choose from. All plans have a $32.70 upfront fee and operate on 30-day payment cycles. Effectively, you’ll pay the plan cost plus the monthly cost of the phone you pair the plan with. At their cheapest, it’ll cost under $65 a month for an OPPO phone with 24-month repayment terms, while pricier models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 cost in excess of $200 extra per month with 12-month instalments.
In terms of perks, Singtel's no-contract device plans are the same as the plans above. Contract plans, on the other hand, typically have fewer inclusions, starting at $62 per month for 80GB of data, 100 local call minutes, and 100 messages. The pricier the plan, the more data, call minutes, messages and plan features you get. Plan features include things like loyalty vouchers, worldwide roaming data (although the Enhanced XS and S plans don't include any roaming data), McAfee Security, and Disney Plus Premium. The Singtel contract family plan covers three lines and shares unlimited local data, unlimited Malaysia data, 48GB worldwide roaming, and 1,800 local call minutes and messages.
The list below shows popular mobile phones that are available to pair with Singtel postpaid plans.
Singtel prepaid plans
Singtel offers a few prepaid plans. The cheapest plan costs just $12 per month ($10 for the first 12 months for new port-ins) for 250GB local 4G data, 250GB roaming data for Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, 300 local minutes, up to 500 IDD minutes (9 destinations), and 50 SMS. For those who want faster speeds, there's also a $15 plan that offers the same local and roaming data inclusions, but this time with 5G access. You also get 500 local minutes, up to 600 IDD minutes (9 minutes), 100 SMS, plus $15 free hi! wallet credit.
