Singapore eSIM plans
Changi is built for a fast exit: immigration is automated, the MRT runs from Terminal 2 and 3, and a Singapore plan is live before you reach the baggage belt. The city is small, dense and fully covered, so the same eSIM runs a two-hour layover at Jewel or a two-week stay in the same way.
The cheapest Singapore eSIM is $1.10 for 500 MB · 7 days; unlimited data costs $1.32 a day (the first 500 MB each day at high speed, then 512 Kbps under the fair use policy). Plans run on M1, SingTel and Starhub, with 5G. Prices checked 9 November 2026.

Where you will use it
Around Singapore
Full coverage in Marina Bay, Orchard, Chinatown, Little India, Sentosa on every plan.
- Tap in and out of the MRT and buses with a contactless card or phone wallet; there is no need for a local card.
- Grab is the taxi app; ComfortDelGro’s own app is the alternative when Grab surges after a concert or the F1.
- Signal is strong everywhere, including the MRT tunnels and the cable car to Sentosa; the only quiet spot is deep in the MacRitchie trails.

Singapore eSIM questions
How much does an eSIM for Singapore cost?
Plans start at $1.10 for 500 MB · 7 days. Unlimited daily data costs $1.32 a day (the first 500 MB each day at high speed, then 512 Kbps under the fair use policy). Prices are in US dollars and include everything: no roaming fees, no subscription.
Does the eSIM work for a short layover at Changi?
Yes. The plan starts on first connection, so a few hours at Jewel or a quick trip into town uses only a fraction of the data, and the rest keeps until the validity ends.
Will the same eSIM work on a day trip to Johor Bahru or Batam?
Not a Singapore-only plan. For a trip across the causeway or the ferry to Batam, pick a regional Asia plan that lists Malaysia or Indonesia as well.
