Tired of being locked into a long-term phone contract? Yeah, same but worry not—I bring the solution to our problem: SIM-only plans.

SIM-only plans offer a breath of fresh air for those who crave more flexibility and control over their mobile spending. 

Unlike the usual contracts that bundle new phones and lock you in for a minimum of two years, SIM-only plans are all about giving what you want—data, talk time, and the freedom to ditch the contract whenever you see fit. The virtual telco scene (e.g. Circles.Life, RedONE) is further amping up the competition, with even lower prices and an even wider range of data plans! 

With so many options at your disposal, you may face decision paralysis. We will explore the advantages of SIM-only plans currently available in Singapore, compare the key features, and guide you towards the plan that best aligns with your financial situation and lifestyle needs.

  • $10.19/month for 100GB of data: 300 minutes of talk time and 300 SMS. 2GB Asia Roaming forever, 4G speeds.
  • $15.28/month for 300GB of data: 300 minutes of talk time and 300 SMS. 6GB Asia Roaming forever, 4G speeds.

Giga! plans all roll over unused data for 2 months, which means you can theoretically get more data than you paid for. However, there is a cap of 100GB/300GB/300GB/400GB/1TB rollover data at any point in time for each of the 5 plans respectively.

11. Singtel’s GOMO SIM-only plans (from $7.18/month)

GOMO piggybacks on Singtel’s 4G and 5G networks. With Singtel being one of the three main telcos in Singapore, the GOMO sub-brand is trying to get a slice of the budget market share. The brand now offers five main plans:

  • 4G Saver—88GB ($7.18/month for first three months; $10.18 after): 300 minutes of talk time and 300 SMS, Free Asia Pack roaming data across 18 destinations.
  • 4G Plus—300GB ($18.17/month): 500 minutes of talk time and 500 SMS, Free incoming calls & caller ID, 6GB/month roaming data to 5 destinations (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Australia).

Plus, they’re all currently under $20 for 30 days, making them a solid option for anyone looking to break away from the big three or the more mainstream choices.

For those with higher data needs 

If you took a look at my summary at the top of the article, you’d see that all but one of the sim-only plans I listed provide more than 100GB data. However, in this day and age, 100GB just isn’t quite enough for some (and I ain’t judging).

Here are some plans that offer much higher data for an affordable cost:

Plan Monthly Subscription Data
M1 Maxx $7.90 290GB
eight Double Eight Plan $8 288GB
MyRepublic 4G Essential Plan $9.90 288GB
SIMBA SuperRoam10 $10.00/30 days 300GB
Geenet $10.00 200GB
RedONE BEST10 $10.90 200GB

I would suggest exploring these plans more in-depth before making your final choice. As you can see the price difference for these don’t vary by too much—so you can afford to spend just a little bit more on a plan if it offers an extra perk or benefit that suits your needs better.

Best credit cards for telco bills payment 

Did you know, charging your recurring telco bills to the right credit card can yield attractive rewards, with potential cashback ranging from 1.5% to 8%? 

Currently, there are two credit card types in Singapore that cater specifically to telco bill payments:

  • Cards specific to major telcos: These cards offer rewards for payments to Starhub, Singtel, and M1.
  • Cards covering a wider range: These cards include SIM Only Data Plans in their rewards programs. Typically, higher cashback rates are associated with increased minimum spending.

For instance, the Maybank Friends & Family Card offers up to 8% cashback on mobile bills  if you select it as one of your five preferred cashback categories when you apply.

Meanwhile, the OCBC 365 card provides 3% cashback on telco, utility, and electricity bills with an $800 minimum spend.

Another one to look out for would be the HSBC Advance Card. It offers a base 1.5% cashback on all spends (including recurring bills) and an added 2.5% cashback when you spend more than $2,000 per month. 

If you’re still not sure which card is right for you, check out our comprehensive list of the best credit cards for telco bills here.
