Singtel launches Singapore’s first fully digital 5G Tourist eSIM
Singtel’s new fully digital 5G Tourist eSIM, launched today, offers travellers to Singapore the most convenient way to enjoy the world’s best 5G coverage experience.
With international leisure and business travellers to Singapore expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by 2024, the Singtel Tourist eSIM’s convenient online sign-up process will allow travellers to manage all their connectivity needs prior to departure. Upon arrival in Singapore, they can simply activate their eSIM on their mobile devices via Singtel’s prepaid services app, hi!App. This seamless experience enables travellers to save on the precious time they would have otherwise needed to spend queuing at a physical outlet to purchase a SIM card or activate their line.
Ms Diana Chen, Managing Director, Customer Value, Singtel, said, “We continue to see healthy demand for our Tourists SIMs. With the Grand Prix roaring into the Lion City this week, we’ve further enhanced our offerings to give inbound travellers even more convenience and value during their stay in Singapore and our neighboring countries, with our hassle-free, fully digital 5G Tourist eSIM offerings. Beyond connectivity, we’re also enhancing the travel experience for tourists so that they can enjoy other digital experiences from making video calls, augmented or virtual reality experiences and more with 5G – bringing greater fun to the holidays.”
The three Singtel Tourist eSIM plans, priced at S$12, S$30 and S$50, are packed with value, providing travellers with up to 120GB of 5G local data that they can use at popular tourist attractions, experiences, and shopping malls around the island. Customers will also enjoy unlimited local calls and SMS, and up to 90 mins of international calls. They will also get 1GB of free data daily, which they can use to access popular social media applications. For those traveling onwards to regional destinations from Singapore, Singtel’s plans provide up to 10GB of data roaming to countries including Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The plans are valid for up to 28 days upon activation.
Singtel Tourist eSIMs are available immediately at www.singtel.com/hitourist. As an introductory offer, customers will receive a complimentary S$5 KKday voucher with any purchase of 5G Tourist eSIM.
