Our verdict

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

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.
  • Setup is free and FREE TP-Link WiFi 7 Tri-band Router HB810 included comes as standard, with download speeds reaching 10,000 Mbps on fibre.
  • Mobile plan terms run 1 month, shorter than the 1 and 12 terms at yesss!.

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.
  • Service is confined to SG, a single market, so it offers nothing for anyone weighing plans across several countries.

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.

What it does well

Singtel's mobile side is built around sim only plans, which work with a handset you already own, and the same tariffs carry 5G. An eSIM is available alongside a physical SIM, so a new number can be live without waiting for a card in the post. The roaming figure is the detail that separates this network from the resellers listed alongside it: travel coverage runs to 259 countries. Sim only is offered as a standalone option rather than something folded into a handset bundle, which keeps the monthly cost tied to the line itself. For anyone comparing tariffs line by line, that pairing of sim only, 5G and an eSIM is the practical reason to keep Singtel on the shortlist.

Who runs it

The legal entity behind the brand is Singtel, the operator that runs the mobile network and the fibre plant rather than a reseller buying capacity from someone else. That matters when a fault has to be traced, since one company supplies both the line and the connection. Support runs on chat and phone, so phone and chat cover billing questions and installation scheduling alike. Households that want a single name on the bill for the phone and the broadband will find that simpler here than with a seller handling only part of the setup, while anyone hoping for email as a written record will be working with the channels listed here.

How Singtel compares

Frequently asked questions

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.

How long are Singtel contracts?+

Mobile plan terms run 1 month. The reference broadband plans sit on a long fixed contract instead, offered as a new home exclusive deal, a bundle with a TP-Link router and a premium broadband plan. The mobile term is the flexible part; the fibre term deserves a closer read.

Does Singtel work outside Singapore?+

Roaming reaches 259 countries through its mobile plans, while the network itself operates in Singapore. That makes it a practical pick for frequent travel out of Singapore, though the service is built for a single market rather than a wide multi-country footprint.

Is Singtel a reseller or the network itself?+

Singtel is listed as a network rather than a reseller, with network recorded as its seller type. That means the mobile service and the fttp fibre come from the same operator, which is why broadband and mobile can sit on one account.

What broadband speed can I get from Singtel?+

Download speeds reach 10,000 Mbps on the top fibre plan over fttp. Reference plans come as a new home exclusive deal, a bundle with a TP-Link router and a premium broadband plan, each carrying a long fixed contract term.

How do I reach Singtel support?+

Support runs on chat and phone, so a phone line handles anything complex and chat suits quick questions. Email is not among the listed channels. Plan questions and fibre installation scheduling are handled by the same operator.

What billing options does Singtel offer?+

Billing runs on contract, rolling and prepaid, so contract, rolling and prepaid structures are all available. A rolling line suits a short stay, a contract suits anyone settling in for a while, and prepaid suits light use on a single number.
