M1 may not have a network that’s as popular as Singtel, but it still competes with great value mobile plans. The same value is true when M1 is pitted against StarHub and SIMBA (formerly TPG) mobile plans. Primarily, M1 offers a base SIM-only plan that can be configured with bundle options. Alternatively, those after a phone can pair one with an M1 bespoke plan. Before scrolling to the full breakdown, here’s a look at some M1 mobile plans in our comparison engine. Note that green ‘Deal’ text shows a current M1 mobile promotion.
Best M1 mobile plan overall
When it comes to overall value for money, it's hard to beat the contract-free M1 5G SIM Only 300GB plan. For less than $20 per month, you get a whopping 300GB of data on the M1 5G network and free unlimited data on weekends, plus 1,100 local minutes and 1,100 SMS. You can opt for a free eSIM and start using your plan immediately, or get free delivery on any physical SIM.
Also consider the following:
Best cheap M1 mobile plan
If you're on a strict budget, the M1 5G SIM Only 150GB plan is your best bet, as it's essentially a cheaper version of our pick for the best overall plan. This no-contract plan comes with 150GB of data (plus free unlimited data on weekends), along with 1,100 local minutes and 1,100 SMS, all for less than $15 per month. Like its more expensive counterpart, you can choose an eSIM or have a new SIM card delivered free.
Also consider the following:
Best M1 mobile plan for call minutes
Our top overall pick, the 5G SIM Only 300GB plan, also happens to be the best plan for minutes. Not only does it come with 1,100 minutes (and 1,100 SMS), it also includes unlimited calls to three selected M1 numbers. If you're particularly chatty, you can also add unlimited minutes to your plan, however this does increase the monthly price from below $20 per month to over $60 per month.
Also consider the following:
Best bespoke M1 mobile phone plan
M1 bespoke plans let users customise their inclusions and pay off a mobile phone. Our pick of the best from our database is the M1 2 Year Bespoke Base Plan, which has a 24-month contract. This M1 plan comes with 40GB of data, 300 minutes and 300 SMS for $60.51 a month (excluding upfront phone fees) over 24 months. It comes with a wide range of devices including iPhones, Samsung Galaxy and OPPO phones with upfront prices starting at $0.
Also consider the following:
Best max-data M1 mobile plan
As all M1 postpaid plans are bespoke, you can get unlimited data with any SIM-only, Bespoke Flexi or Bespoke Contract plan, but it will cost you. Take our top overall pick, the 5G Sim Only 300GB plan. It's only $17.95 per month with no contract, but adding unlimited data brings the monthly bill to $107.93. Although we think 300GB is more than enough for most people, if you're really set on unlimited data that won't break the bank, we recommend considering Singtel, MyRepublic (which also runs on the M1 network) or CMLink.
Also consider the following:
M1’s Corporate Individual Scheme (CIS) mobile plans are known as the Corporate Individual (CORI) programme. CORI mobile plans from M1 cover SIM-only plans with free caller ID and a roaming subscription. Alternatively, M1 also sells MySIMe 5G plans and 5G plans meant for travel. These corporate-focused M1 plans also include phone discounts and other perks.
