How does Simbye eSIM work for Singapore?
Set it up before you fly
You buy the eSIM online and immediately get an email with an installation link and a QR code. Set it up calmly at home on Wi-Fi – one click on the link is enough, and there is no access point to type in anywhere. After that the extra line sits inactive on your phone, waiting for the trip.
Arriving in Singapore
Almost everyone lands at Changi Airport, spread across Terminals 1 to 4 with Jewel in between; private and small regional flights use Seletar. If you come overland from Malaysia you cross at Woodlands or Tuas, and the ferries from Batam and Bintan dock at Tanah Merah and HarbourFront. Once you arrive, switch on data roaming for the Simbye line – your phone then connects to Singtel by itself.
Validity and topping up
The validity period starts with your first connection in Singapore, not at purchase – so you can order weeks in advance. When your data runs low, top up at any time without setting the eSIM up again. Hotspot is allowed: a laptop, a tablet or your travel companion's phone can simply share the connection.
Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM before purchasing
Which networks will you be on in Singapore?
The Singtel network on your eSIM – your phone connects automatically, with nothing to set up.
The Simbye eSIM uses 2 networks in Singapore: Singtel · M1.
| Networks | Download | Upload | Latency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singtel | 276Mbit/s | 34Mbit/s | 31ms |
| M1 | No independent measurement for this network | ||

The eSIM connects to the Singtel network on its own – usually the first time you switch your phone on after landing at Changi Airport. There is nothing to configure and no access point to type in. If reception ever gets stubborn in one spot, switching flight mode on and off again is usually enough for the phone to register afresh.
Singtel covers the whole city-state: the downtown area around Marina Bay and Orchard Road just as well as Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam, Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa and East Coast Park, plus the residential and working districts from Jurong East through Tampines to Woodlands, and every terminal at Changi Airport including Jewel. On the MRT that holds underground too: tunnels and stations have mobile coverage, including the fully underground Downtown Line, so as a rule you stay online between stations.
eSIM or a local SIM card in Singapore?
Choose the eSIM for Singapore unless you need a +65 number: local prepaid is capped at three cards per passport, which you must show at the counter, while the eSIM is live as you land at Changi.
| Feature |  Simbye eSIM |
Local SIM card |
|---|---|---|
| ID requirement | None. You show nobody a document and register nothing. | Mandatory. You must present your original passport at the counter, because the law requires it. |
| Validity period | Governed purely by your plan, 7 to 30 days. | Depends on the package you buy at the counter. |
| Number per person | Several eSIMs on the same phone, with no registration at all. | A maximum of three prepaid cards per ID document with each provider. |
| When you get online | Set up before departure, connected the moment you land at Changi. | Only after immigration and baggage claim, then queueing at a counter in the arrivals hall. |
| Price and currency | Paid in advance at a price you know, nothing turns up on your bill later. | In Singapore dollars (S$) at the counter, plus your bank's foreign currency fee. |
| Your home number | Stays active as a second line, so WhatsApp and SMS codes still reach you. | Only if your phone supports two lines, otherwise you have to take your own SIM out. |
| Local phone number | None. No calls, no SMS over the network – data only. | A Singapore number with +65 is included, and calls and texts work with it. |
| Topping up | In the app or online, at any time and from anywhere. | At a machine, in a 7-Eleven or at the provider's shop, in cash or by card. |
For most travelers the eSIM is the simpler choice: set up before departure, no queuing on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions about Singapore eSIM
Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.
You only need an eSIM for Singapore if you want to pay your provider's international rates. Singapore is billed from that price list, either per megabyte or as a day pass charged for every travel day. A prepaid data eSIM is bought once at a price you already know, so it cannot run up a bill while you are away.
The cheapest eSIM plan for Singapore starts at 1,95€, and it's always the smallest one that carries you through the trip, so start low. Maps, messengers, Grab and a bit of searching use very little; video, stories and sharing your hotspot with a laptop are what really eat data. You can top up at any time without setting the eSIM up again.
The network you'll be on in Singapore is Singtel. It covers the whole city-state and your phone connects automatically, with nothing to set up.
No, no Singapore phone number with it. This is a data-only plan: you cannot make calls or send and receive SMS over the network, and you get no +65 number. Calls and messages run through internet services such as WhatsApp, Telegram or FaceTime.
No, you don't register or show your passport. The registration requirement applies to local prepaid SIM cards bought in the country, where the original passport is required at the counter. Your eSIM roams on the Singtel network and does not fall under it.
No, not in Malaysia or on Batam – this eSIM is for Singapore only. On a day trip to Johor Bahru, or on the ferry to Batam and Bintan, you will be without data. For those you need a plan that covers the country in question.
You get an eSIM in Singapore online, installing it before you fly. Pick your data size on this page, pay, and the QR code plus the manual settings arrive by email within minutes. Scan the code on Wi-Fi at home, then switch the line on when you land at Changi, with no counter and no queue.
Yes, Singapore has eSIM: an eSIM for Singapore is a digital profile that local networks carry, exactly like a physical SIM. Coverage is dense across the whole island, including the MRT tunnels, Sentosa, Jurong and Changi, so maps, ride hailing and messaging keep working as you move around the city.
You don't need to buy an eSIM at Singapore Airport, since one bought online is ready before you even reach Changi. Install the profile at home over Wi-Fi, then switch the line on after landing and you are online at the gate, instead of queueing at a counter with your passport after a long flight.
The eSIM that is best for Singapore won't be decided by coverage. This one uses Singtel, which reaches Marina Bay, Orchard Road, Chinatown, Sentosa, East Coast Park, Jurong through Woodlands, every Changi terminal including Jewel, and the MRT. So decide on data and days instead — from small packs to unlimited, over one to four weeks. It is data only, with no Singapore number.
