eSIM for Singapore: mobile data for a city trip or a stopover
Staying online in Singapore with a travel eSIM — coverage across the island, how much data a stopover or a city trip takes, and setting it up before you fly.
In short
- A travel eSIM for Singapore uses the main Singapore networks, with fast 4G and 5G across the whole island, including the MRT.
- A stopover or a short city trip needs little data — a small package is enough for maps, rides and messages.
- It is installed at home, so it works as soon as you land at Changi.
- Crossing to Malaysia? A Singapore and Malaysia package covers both with one eSIM.
- Your own number stays in the phone for calls and bank SMS codes.

Singapore is small, connected and quick to explore — the Marina Bay skyline, the hawker centres, Sentosa, and one of the world's best airports for a stopover. Free Wi-Fi exists, but a working connection everywhere makes the MRT, ride apps and food ordering much easier. A travel eSIM is ready before you land.
Coverage and speed
A travel eSIM for Singapore uses the main Singapore mobile networks. The whole island has fast 4G and wide 5G, including the MRT tunnels, shopping malls and Sentosa. Coverage is excellent almost everywhere.
The networks each package uses are listed on the Singapore page.

Singapore with Malaysia and beyond

Setting it up
- Check that your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked.
- Buy a package on the Singapore page; the QR code comes to your email and account.
- Install it at home over Wi-Fi — the install guide shows each step.
- When you land, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line and choose it for mobile data. Keep data roaming off on your own line.
Questions and answers
Does a Singapore package work in Johor Bahru?
No, a single-country package works in Singapore only. For a trip across the causeway, choose the Singapore and Malaysia package.
Do I get a Singapore phone number?
No, a travel eSIM is data only. Your own number stays on your own SIM for calls and SMS.
When do the package's days start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Singapore, not when you buy or install it.
