Singtel is the largest mobile network operator in Singapore, ahead of StarHub, M1 and SIMBA (formerly TPG). That popularity among mobile users means there are plenty of SIM-only plans to choose from. Singtel sells no-contract 30-day SIM-only plans and prepaid plans.
Although Singtel doesn't offer the lowest prices in the market, this telco is known for ultra-fast 5G+ speeds. In fact, the more you pay, the faster your speeds—Singtel's 5G+ Enhanced plans offer 2X speed, and its 5G+ Priority plans offer 4X speeds.

There's very little separating postpaid and prepaid mobile plans in Singapore these days, but there are some key differences. The main difference is in the name: postpaid plans are paid at the end of your usage month, while prepaid plans are paid upfront. Both auto-renew.
The other factors to consider are price and inclusions. Although prepaid plans are much cheaper and generally better value, Singtel's postpaid plans offer 2X and even 4X faster data speeds, bonus subscriptions (e.g. streaming services and security software), and can be paired with a new phone you pay off monthly.

How we choose the best mobile plans in Singapore
At WhistleOut, we take the job of recommending mobile plans very seriously. That’s why we have a dedicated team that reads dozens of plan documents each week to spot hundreds of plan changes in our database.
We tend to lean towards SIM-only plans with no contracts because it’s easier to switch mobile providers when a better option comes along, but there's a wide array of factors we take into consideration:
Price
We consider overall price not just promotional pricing.
We evaluate price in terms of first-year value, which helps separate great pricing from a limited-time promotion that may not offer better value in the long run.
Data
To choose the best SIM-only deals we use included monthly local data.
This helps determine the overall dollar-to-data value.
We also take into account if that data is 4G or 5G, with a preference for 5G.
Roaming
Singapore is a land of frequent flyers and travellers, so we prioritise plans with roaming inclusions.
While the focus is on roaming data, extra points are given to plans with voice and SMS roaming.
