Rising competition in Singapore’s mobile market also means that gone are the days when staying meant paying steep monthly bills for limited talktime and data. Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) are telecom providers that don’t own their own physical network infrastructure (cell towers, radio spectrum, etc.). They lease network access from one of the big traditional telcos like Singtel, StarHub, M1.
As such, the market is not short of well-packaged data bundles, free roaming and unlimited data at attractive prices. Whether you’re a light user on a tight budget, a heavy data consumer, there’s now a plan that can fit your lifestyle without breaking the bank.
In Singapore, MVNOs typically get the same coverage and speeds as their parent telco, so you’re not sacrificing performance for price. Most budget plans are month-to-month, meaning you can switch if a better deal pops up.
If you’re looking to keep costs ultra-low while staying connected, consider these options:
If you typically work from home or don’t stream movies on 4G, these data lite plans provide a good amount of coverage whilst also ensuring that you don’t end up with so much data that is impossible to finish. Here are popular options to consider:
If you’re constantly uploading large files, hosting HD video calls, or tethering multiple devices on the go, unlimited plans take the mental load off your usage.
In 2025, the mobile landscape in Singapore has shifted firmly in favour of the consumer. Consumers are bombarded with so many options in the market today with attractive deals from full-fledged telcos and MVNOs. The real challenge isn’t finding a good deal, but rather, its about making a choice on which best suits one’s needs.
Growing Needs grew out of our own encounters with caring for our aging parents and reflecting on the Growing Needs that we ourselves would face as we advance in years. We hope to build a community that will learn, share and contribute towards caring for the growing needs of our loved ones.
