Many people see Singapore on a stopover, but plenty stay a week or two, and some move here for a month of work. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo asks $48, Saily $48.99 and Holafly $50.50. For a month, $69, $71.99 and $73.90. Ubigi is cheaper at $35 and $49 for a fixed amount at full speed, and Nomad sells no unlimited past 10 days. Ringo Light charges $14.99 for 2 weeks and $24.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Saily gives 5 GB a day, Nomad 2 GB. Ubigi gives 30 GB for 15 days or 60 GB for the month, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $14.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $29.98, still under Ubigi's 15 days at $35; a heavy month costs $39.98, under every rival for the month.
For a short stopover, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $11.50 and Holafly at $11.90. For a week, our 2 weeks at $14.99 already costs less than any rival's 7 days; Ubigi's week with 20 GB at full speed is $19.
Singapore has four mobile networks: Singtel, StarHub, M1 and Simba. The island is small and dense, and all four cover the city, the MRT underground and Changi well. Signal can drop inside thick buildings and on the outlying islands such as Pulau Ubin. Airalo and Holafly ride Singtel, Nomad StarHub and Singtel, and Ubigi StarHub and Simba. For a city trip any of them works.
Many visitors cross the Causeway to Johor Bahru or go on to Malaysia. A Singapore plan, ours included, stops at the border. If your trip continues into Malaysia, look at a regional plan: Airalo, Nomad and Ubigi all sell plans that cover Singapore and Malaysia together.
Ubigi, $13 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days, on StarHub and Simba with 5G. Its 20 GB is $16 a month, but that plan renews; the one-off 25 GB for 30 days is $22.
Nomad, $14 for 10 GB. The cheapest 20 GB that does not renew, at $21 for 30 days, on StarHub and Singtel.
Saily, $15.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $22.99. Its listing is from July; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $16 for 10 GB. Its Connect Lah! plan on Singtel, 20 GB for $23, buckets from $4 for 1 GB.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $14.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $24.99. For 10 GB that lasts a month, Ubigi at $13 and Nomad at $14 are cheaper, and for 20 GB Ubigi, Nomad, Saily and Airalo all cost less than our 30 days. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Singapore it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $14.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $24.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $14.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.

You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Singapore, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Marina Bay to Sentosa and the airport, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Singapore is small: all eight are on the MRT or a short ride from it, and 4G and 5G cover every one.
Marina Bay Sands, Marina Bay. Three towers joined by a ship-shaped SkyPark, with an observation deck open to anyone with a ticket. In the evening the free Spectra light and water show plays on the promenade below. Buy the observation deck ticket on your phone before you go up, and check the Spectra show times the same way.
Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay. The Supertree Grove is free to walk; the two cooled glass domes, the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest, need a ticket. The Supertrees light up for a short show each evening. Dome tickets are QR codes on your phone, and the gardens' site lists the light show times for the night.
Lau Pa Sat, Downtown Core. A Victorian cast-iron market hall among the office towers, now a hawker centre. In the evening the street beside it fills with satay stalls; Maxwell Food Centre in Chinatown is a short walk away. Some hawker stalls take cash only. A maps search finds the nearest ATM before you queue.
Chinatown, Outram. Pagoda Street and its shophouses, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Sri Mariamman, the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore. Come hungry: Chinatown Complex has one of the largest hawker floors in the city. Camera translation reads the Chinese signs and menus on the older stalls.
Little India, Serangoon Road. Painted shophouses, flower garland stalls, the Tekka Centre for food and fabric, and Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. The streets light up for Deepavali in October or November. If the heat wins, Grab and Gojek both work across the island and show the fare before you book.
Kampong Glam and the Sultan Mosque, Arab Street. The gold-domed Sultan Mosque, the textile shops of Arab Street and the murals of Haji Lane. Visitors are welcome at the mosque outside prayer times, with shoulders and knees covered. Prayer times change every day. Check them on your phone before you walk over.
Sentosa, South of the main island. A resort island with the Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong beaches and Universal Studios Singapore. Reach it by cable car, by the Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity, or on foot along the boardwalk. Park and cable car tickets are QR codes on your phone. Save them to your wallet before you reach the gate.
Jewel Changi and the Rain Vortex, Changi Airport. The tallest indoor waterfall in the world pours through a glass dome over a terraced forest. Jewel is outside immigration and open to everyone, linked to Terminal 1 and by walkway to Terminals 2 and 3. You land connected. The MRT gates take contactless bank cards, and a route app gets you from Changi into town.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Singapore on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $14.99 for 2 weeks and $24.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $48 for 15 days and $69 for 30 days at Airalo. For 3 days, Airalo at $11.50. For a 10 GB bucket, Ubigi at $13; for 20 GB that does not renew, Nomad at $21.
Airalo and Holafly ride Singtel, Nomad StarHub and Singtel, and Ubigi StarHub and Simba. Saily does not name its network on its listing. All of them cover the city, the MRT and Changi.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Saily after 5 GB, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
You can: Singtel, StarHub and M1 sell tourist prepaid SIMs at the airport and in the city, and Singapore requires you to register a prepaid SIM with your passport. An eSIM skips the queue and the registration, and you land already connected.
