Senior citizens in Singapore enjoy a whole host of benefits, ranging from discounts at leisure facilities to heavily subsidised medical care. Turns out mobile plan packages are no exception. Are you aware that many of our telecommunications service providers actually offer special mobile plan packages for senior Singaporean citizens aged 60 and above?
But navigating the ever-confusing maze of telecommunication provisions to find that one plan that suits you can be like finding a needle in a haystack, especially for our seniors who may not be as tech savvy. Fret not! Below are the promotions offered by the various telecommunications service providers. You will surely be able to find a plan that best meets your telecommuting, and financial needs.
For all seniors aged 60 years old & above, Singtel offers different plans to cater to differing needs. The M phone plan would be sufficient for many seniors as it provides a good amount of data and talk time, perfect for those who surf the net a lot and tend to make a lot of calls. Recognising the importance of staying connected, this plan sure offers flexibility for seniors who want to connect with their loved ones and friends.
We additionally like Singtel for the fact that they are committed to providing the best for seniors – learn to use apps like WhatsApp and more at their Seniors Go Digital Wednesday Workshop. Running for a limited time, enjoy 20% off phone plans & express queues at any Singtel shops.
Singtel is proud to be part of the Mobile Access for Seniors Programme by IMDA with a subsidised $5.09 mobile plan and phones from $22. $5.09 Mobile Access for Seniors Plan is only applicable to recipients of the IMDA Mobile Access for Seniors Plan redemption letter.

For seniors (aged 60 and above), Starhub offers a range of simple and affordable mobile plans to meet your connectivity needs. The top pick would be the Mobile+ $99 2-year plan where one gets 600 SMSes, free incoming calls, free caller number display and also free international Roaming Subscription* (opt-in required).
This is a rather lite plan in terms of data, talk time and SMSes which would be ideal for seniors looking for a basic plan that is also budget friendly. Another thing to note is that the 20GB Local Data in Seniors Plan at full 4G speed. Thereafter unlimited data at 512Kbps.
Everyone has differing needs and here’s how you can choose one depending on your usage and preferences.
If one mainly calls on their mobile phone, choosing a plan with a lot of talk time would be ideal. In this case, do consider Singtel’s – Seniors Go Digital plans which come with 10,000 minutes to make calls as your heart desires!
If one mainly surfs social media or watches YouTube on the phone, get a plan with a good amount of data and 5G access.
Enjoy a 2 year mobile plan at $5.10 a month and purchase a smartphone starting from $20 (one time cost). These are some good deals which come with the purchase of specific mobile plans. The intention is to help lower-income seniors who want to go digital and enjoy mobile services, but cannot afford smartphone and mobile plans.
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.
