Buying a SIM card in Singapore
Local SIM Cards: Currently, there are four major mobile phone providers in Singapore: StarHub, Singtel, M1 and Grid Communication.
Visitors can easily find these providers at the airport, or in shopping centers and electronics shops across the city.
In Singapore, you have to show a photo ID to purchase a SIM card for registration – for foreigners that mean your original passport (a photocopy is not acceptable). This can be done at any 7-Eleven or Cheers branch and takes some minutes. Be aware that you will be charged for incoming calls too in Singapore, like in the US, if they aren’t included in your plan.
An average price for a prepaid sim card can range from 20 to 50 SGD, which includes a certain amount of data and voice minutes.
When purchasing a sim card, it is recommended to avoid buying an expensive one at the airport or in the last minute, as prices tend to be higher and you may be limited in your options. Travel to singapore?
