esim advice (self.singapore)

Hello Singaporeans!

I'll be heading to Singapore next month. Hoping to get a Singapore esim before I arrive, so when I touch down I'm good to go.

Can I ask what are the preferred options please? I'll be there for a week, and will mostly only need data.

Thanks in advance.

Not an esim, but I found it easy to buy a physical sim card at the airport after touching down.

SGD12 for 100GB for 2 weeks, follow the instructions to register and you're good to go in a few minutes.

Thank you, that's great! I was warned about picking up sim cards at the airport being overpriced.

What was the name of the telco that provided the deal you mentioned?

Sorry if this reply is too late. I got Singtel at the 7-11 convenience store.

I think you'll be offered Singtel or Starhub, the two major telcos. The other ones are just using their networks anyway.

Honestly SG is so well connected that any teleco will work, at most you'll maybe have some intermittent problems when taking the newest trains since they're so far underground.

Thanks very much!

No worries!

I hope you have a great time, and hopefully the rains will subside when you're here 😅
