Our verdict on each
sim.de
sim.de suits people in Germany who want a cheap sim only line with a monthly option and a fixed contract choice on the same tariff sheet. It runs on the 1&1 network, and its entry price of €6.99 sits well under the market median for entry pricing.
Singtel
Singtel sells mobile and fibre from one network, and the entry price of SGD 29.90 sits well below the resellers listed here. Sim only plans, eSIM and 5G come as standard, but the step to SGD 89.90 once the contract term ends is what to watch.

Pros and cons
sim.de
Pros
- Entry pricing of €6.99 is below the site median of €9.30
- The Unlimited on demand plan costs €19.99, under the site median unlimited price of €23.19
- Contract terms run 1 and 24, so a plan can sit on a monthly term or a longer one
Cons
- The Unlimited on demand plan is tied to the longer of 1 and 24, so unlimited data is not offered on a monthly term
- Service runs in DE only, so the tariffs are not offered outside that market
- As an mvno, sim.de sells on the 1&1 network rather than owning it, unlike the network operators getesa, yesss! and Lonestar Cell MTN
Singtel
Pros
- Billing runs on contract, rolling and prepaid, so contract, rolling and prepaid structures all sit under one provider.
- Sim only plans, eSIM and 5G come together, and roaming reaches 259 countries for frequent travellers.
- Singtel is the network rather than a reseller, so its fttp fibre and its mobile service come from the same operator.
Cons
- The monthly figure steps from SGD 29.90 to SGD 89.90 once the contract period ends, so the entry price flatters the long-term cost.
- Billing on contract, rolling and prepaid includes a contract option that ties the line for 1 month, and the reference broadband plans sit on a long fixed term.
- Support runs on chat and phone only, with no email channel among the ones listed.
Who each suits
sim.de
Who it suits
- People in DE who want a data heavy sim only line without paying for a handset
- Travellers from DE who want roaming included and reach across 33 countries
- Households that want one provider offering both a short monthly term and a longer fixed contract
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers outside DE, since the service is a single market
- People who want a handset bundled with the tariff, as the plans are sim only
- Buyers who want unlimited data on a rolling monthly basis, since the Unlimited on demand plan sits on the longer of 1 and 24
Singtel
Who it suits
- Households in Singapore that want mobile and fibre from the same operator, with 5G and eSIM on the mobile side.
- Buyers who want to keep commitments short, with mobile plan terms of 1 month and a free setup fee on fibre.
- Travellers who need roaming reach of 259 countries while keeping a home tariff active.
Who should look elsewhere
- getesa, whose billing runs on prepaid and contract, for readers who want prepaid or contract only and no interest in Singtel's rolling option.
- Lonestar Cell MTN, whose billing runs on contract and prepaid, if you would rather settle on a fixed term than move from SGD 29.90 to SGD 89.90 at renewal.
- yesss!, whose plan terms run 1 and 12, if you want a longer commitment than the 1-month term on Singtel's mobile plans.
Questions about each
sim.de
How much does a sim.de sim only plan cost to start with?+
The cheapest way in is the entry data plan at €6.99 per month, and it can run on a monthly term rather than a long contract. The larger data plan and the Unlimited on demand plan sit on the longer of 1 and 24 instead.
How much is unlimited data on sim.de?+
The Unlimited on demand plan costs €19.99 per month, and it is tied to the longer of the contract options, 1 and 24. That price sits under the site median unlimited price of €23.19, but the commitment is the part to weigh.
Singtel
What does Singtel cost to get started with?+
The entry figure is SGD 29.90 for the fibre plans, with a free setup fee and FREE TP-Link WiFi 7 Tri-band Router HB810 included included. Once the contract period ends, the monthly figure becomes SGD 89.90, so the headline price only holds for the initial term.
Can I take a Singtel plan without a new phone?+
Yes. Sim only plans are offered, so you can use a handset you already own or a tablet, and mobile plan terms run 1 month. The same tariffs carry 5G, and an eSIM is available if you would rather not wait for a card to arrive.
