The ‘Seniors Go Digital’ programme in Singapore has seen the creation of elderly-focused mobile plans from participating providers. These participating mobile providers are also the network owners: namely, M1, SIMBA (formerly TPG Telecom), Singtel and StarHub (with the exception of Circles.Life, which uses the M1 network). The catch is, these seniors plans aren’t overly competitive, which is why we’ve made our own better-value picks. Before we get into those, here’s a list of seniors-friendly mobile plans from our comparison engine that don’t cost more than $30 a month.

What is the Seniors Go Digital programme?

Seniors Go Digital is a programme by the Singapore Government that aims to create simple and affordable plans for seniors. To be eligible for these seniors-branded plans, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident who is 60 or older. M1, Singtel, StarHub, SIMBA (TPG), and Circles.Life offer mobile plans as part of this programme.

Prices range from around $5 to more than $130 per month. Typically, prices are lower than equivalent mobile plans available to the public. While a few plans are no-contract, most include a contract. Data inclusions range from 2GB up to 120GB, not including bonus data.

Most of these mobile plans are 4G but some include 5G speeds. Call minutes range from zero to up to 10,000 or unlimited local calls. SMS allowances range from zero to 1,200 texts.

To sign up, users typically must verify their eligibility and may have to visit an M1, SIMBA, Singtel or StarHub store. For comparison, here are some great value plans from participating ‘Seniors Go Digital’ mobile providers that don’t cost more than $30 a month.

We recommend starting comparisons with the M1 SIM Only 150GB Plan. It’s a SIM-Only (and better value) alternative to M1's Silver plans and Singtel Seniors Go Digital SIM Only Plan, both of which are part of the ‘Seniors Go Digital’ programme.

The M1 SIM Only 150GB Plan costs $14.95 every 30 days (currently just $11.95 for the first three months) and has no contract. It comes with a solid 150GB of data, 1,100 minutes of outgoing local calls and 1,100 outbound local SMS messages. This M1 plan also includes free eSIM registration, incoming calls and inbound SMS. There’s also unlimited calls to three M1 numbers and limited-time unlimited weekend data.

There are plenty of mobile plans in the ‘Seniors Go Digital’ programme with more than 50GB of data. Singtel's Seniors Go Digital Lite, Core, Plus, and Ultra plans, and StarHub Star Plan Senior, for example. They’re all more expensive than the MyRepublic Classic Plan, though, and have significantly less data.

This MyRepublic mobile plan costs $14.90 a month for a massive 500GB of data on the M1 4G network. If you go over the data cap, speeds are managed until the next renewal cycle, so there are no surprise excess data fees. It also comes with 400 minutes of outgoing local calls and 400 outbound local SMS messages. Features include free caller ID, incoming calls and inbound SMS.

Many ‘Seniors Go Digital’ plans offer plenty of call minutes, as much as 1,000 minutes. Singtel Seniors Go Digital Plus and Ultra Sim Only plans and StarHub Star Plan Senior all offer 1000 minutes or more. But it’s much cheaper to go with SIMBA's SuperRoam 10 SIM-only plan than any one of those.

This SIMBA mobile plan costs just $10 a month with no upfront fee. It comes with a generous 300GB of data for use in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, 30 SMS messages, 12GB of APAC roaming, and 3GB roaming in 60+ selected countries. It also includes 500 IDD minutes. More importantly for this category, it comes with unlimited calls to local mobiles, though it’s restricted to 500 minutes for local fixed-line calls.
