Offering visitors an easy way to get connected to a local mobile network without breaking the bank in the process is our full line-up of tourist prepaid SIM cards. We understand how important it is to stay in touch with friends and family while travelling overseas. Therefore we’ve created what we firmly believe is the best prepaid SIM card in Singapore for tourists from all over the world!

Checking out all the sights of Singapore, you’re guaranteed to want to share experiences with those closest to you at home, which is why it’s important to have an overseas data plan that caters to plenty of data usage. And when you choose to buy the Tourist SIM card in Singapore from M1, you’ll get exactly that.

No matter which of the data travel SIM card options you go with, you will be getting a whopping 100GB of local data to use however you wish; sharing heaps of photos, streaming TV, movies, and music, Skyping… it’s entirely up to you!

On top of what you could almost call unlimited data, the travel SIM includes a minimum of 20 minutes of international call minutes plus plenty of local talktime and SMS allowances too!

We know everyone is different, which is why we offer a few different tourist prepaid SIM options at varied price points.

If it’s for a short stay in Singapore, our travel SIM with 7 days’ validity for just $12 will have enough inclusions to tide you over. It is also available in an eSIM variant which can be used in eSIM compatible models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

Planning to stay a little while longer? $30 provides 12 days’ validity and a fair bit more local call/SMS allowance, more international call minutes and even 3GB of roaming data for you to use should you head out to Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Macau.

And if you’re heading to a neighbouring country, go with the $50 travel SIM card which has everything the $30 plan does but takes it up a notch by including an additional 2GB of Roaming Data. This prepaid tourist SIM is also valid for 2 days longer (i.e., 14 days).

You’ll also be able to extend the validity on the $30 and $50 overseas SIM cards via the M1 Prepaid App or Prepaid Portal; $2 tops you up another day, 300MB local data, 60 minutes’ worth of local calls, 100 local SMS and 5 minutes of international calls.

What is a travel SIM card?

A travel SIM card is the best way for tourists to get connected to a local mobile network in a foreign country. You’ll find they often have a shorter validity than a regular prepaid plan, and will offer inclusions that benefit tourists such as international call minutes and data usage.
