In Singapore, Singtel owns the largest mobile network for users seeking a 4G or 5G mobile plan. The company has been around since the late 19th century and started out offering home landline phone services. It has since evolved into a leading telecommunications provider in Singapore.
Users can choose from SIM-only plans, postpaid plans bundled with a mobile phone or tablet, or prepaid plans. The more you pay, the more data, call minutes, messages, and plan features are included. All Singtel plans offer eSIM support so there’s no need for a physical SIM card for those who don’t want to wait to get connected.
Here’s a look at Singtel’s most popular mobile plans from our database.
Singtel SIM-only plans
Singtel has four SIM-only plans, all of which use the Singtel 5G mobile network and operate on 30-day cycles with no contracts. The cheapest is the Lite SIM Only 5G, which costs $35 for 60GB of data. It has 400 minutes for local calls and 400 local messages. This Singtel SIM-only plan also comes with three months of McAfee Mobile Security. Singtel’s cheapest SIM-only plan is comparatively expensive, with cheaper 5G alternatives from M1, MyRepublic, Giga, Gomo, StarHub and CMLink.

Singtel phone and device plans
Singtel lets users pair a SIM-only mobile plan with a range of devices, paying them off over 12, 24 or 36 months. These devices include popular mobile phones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 or Apple iPhone 16, tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 or iPad Air, and other non-cellular devices like Acer laptops and Samsung TVs. Postpaid device plans can either have contracts or no contracts.
No-contract postpaid device plans have around 60 phones to choose from. All plans have a $10.70 upfront fee and operate on 30-day payment cycles. Effectively, you’ll pay the plan cost plus the monthly cost of the phone you pair the plan with. At their cheapest, it’ll cost under $15 a month for an Oppo phone with 36-month repayment terms, while pricier models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 cost more than $200 extra per month with 12-month instalments.
In terms of perks, Singtel's no-contract device plans typically include similar features to their SIM-only counterparts: namely, caller ID, roaming data to selected countries, plus 12 months of Disney Plus Premium and McAfee Mobile Security.
Singtel contract plans are monthly offerings that start at $62 per month for 30GB of data and 100 local call minutes and messages. The pricier the plan, the more data, call minutes, messages and plan features you get. Plan features include things like loyalty vouchers, worldwide roaming data, McAfee Security, Disney Plus Premium, and a month of Spotify. The Singtel contract family plan covers three lines and has unlimited data as well as 1,800 local call minutes and messages.
The list below shows popular mobile phones that are available to pair with Singtel postpaid plans.

The cheapest Singtel prepaid starter packs cost around $10 while the pricier ones don’t go beyond $25. Note that none of the starter packs come with calls or messages, except for one, which has 2,500 local call minutes and 300 local messages.
For ongoing prepaid recharges, the cheapest costs $15 and comes with 20GB of data Singtel 4G, 500 call minutes and 100 messages. It also has data rollover and free incoming calls. M1, Simba and Eight all have cheaper prepaid plans with more data, while StarHub has a cheaper plan with less data.
Singtel’s pricier prepaid plans include unlimited Singtel 5G data, unlimited local calls, 500 local messages, as well as data rollover and free incoming calls.
