Use prepaid data on the phone you already carry. This is how PikoeSIM compares with a rental router, home-carrier roaming and a physical SIM.

Frequently asked questions.
Answers to common setup and buying questions.
Which Singapore data plan is the right size for my trip?
Light use means maps and messages: 3 GB for 7 days at €2.19, or the same 3 GB over 30 days at €2.31 if your stay runs closer to one month. Frequent photo uploads, YouTube and video calls push you toward 10 GB for 30 days at €7.28. For a holiday, my recommendations are to size the allowance to your heaviest day, then check the total price: the cheapest tier saves money only if it doesn't run dry mid-trip, and no single best price, best value or best coverage fits every visitor.
Do the 100 MB and 500 MB offers cover more than a quick check?
Those small 7-day allowances are best for a few essential messages or a single arrival task. Map imagery, app updates and photo backups can burn through them fast. For regular map use over several days, move up to the GB options and lean on Wi-Fi for downloads. The 100 MB tier is only affordable if your data needs stay tiny.
Which operator supplies the Singapore network?
Listed networks: Singtel Singapore. Connects to 4G/5G where the network offers it. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. The operator's 4G and 5G reach is strongest outdoors and above ground; indoor and underground coverage depends on where you are. Signal quality also shifts with your phone model and how busy the network is.
How do I check that my phone is compatible?
Confirm your exact model and regional variant support eSIM and that the phone is network unlocked. On iPhone, iOS Settings > General > About should show No SIM Restrictions next to Carrier Lock; Android setup paths differ by brand. The compatibility guide lists compatible phones, and you need a network-unlocked device to use this prepaid eSIM card, which is also called a virtual sim card.
When should I install the eSIM and when does the countdown start?
Install over steady Wi-Fi and keep the supplied instructions offline. Whether the countdown starts at installation or when you land depends on the activation steps in your order, so follow those rather than assuming the QR code alone starts it. Don't bank on an instant installation promise; get everything set up while you're still online at home. On arrival, enable the travel line and choose it for mobile data.
Can I keep my own phone number and messaging apps?
Your existing WhatsApp and other messaging accounts keep working over the travel eSIM's data. The plan itself has no local phone number and no ordinary calls or SMS. A bank code or login verification sent by SMS still depends on your regular SIM and its carrier, so check that carrier's charges if the line stays switched on.
Can I share the connection with a laptop or tablet?
The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Any device connected through the data hotspot or tethering draws from the same allowance. Pause laptop updates and cloud backups, especially on one of the smaller plans.
Where does this Singapore plan work?
Singapore only. Crossing the land border into Malaysia or taking a ferry to Indonesia needs a separate plan; these offers cover neither country. If your itinerary leaves the city-state, buy a second destination plan for the days you'll be elsewhere.
Is the data unlimited or reset every day?
Each offer holds a fixed total allowance for its listed validity, whether that's 7, 15 or 30 days. It is not unlimited and does not reset every day. There is no 1 day plan, no one day reset, and no 14 days offer; the 15-day option covers roughly two weeks. 30 days doesn't always equal one month, so check the listed end date. Pick enough data and enough days, and remember hotspot devices share the same total.
Can I top up data or extend the plan?
Top-up and extension rules are not confirmed here, so check the options that come with your order before relying on them. A separate purchase doesn't automatically extend an existing plan, carry over unused data or reuse its installed profile. Keep the profile installed while you sort out a problem.
What do I do if the eSIM has no internet?
Confirm you're in Singapore, the line is enabled and set for data, and the plan still has allowance and validity left. Apply the supplied roaming and APN settings as written. Toggle airplane mode briefly or restart the phone, then test another location. Keep the eSIM installed and contact support with the order reference, phone model and spot where the service fails.
How do I stop my home SIM from roaming and charging me?
Turn off automatic mobile-data switching and keep roaming disabled on your home SIM. Apply any travel-eSIM roaming setting only to the travel line. Your home carrier can still bill separately for calls and texts even when the eSIM supplies your internet.
How do I get support or request a refund?
Keep your order reference and installation details ready when contacting support. Shoppers often search for a no contract prepaid plan, but this isn't a monthly subscription, and you should still read the purchase terms before buying: refund eligibility depends on activation and use, so don't assume a used plan qualifies. Check the pricing and features you picked, and keep the installed profile while a connection problem is investigated.
Using your eSIM around Singapore
A Singapore eSIM matched to the trip you're taking
A tourist on vacation, a business visitor, or someone seeing family all need a different allowance. Choose data and validity to match the time you'll actually spend in Singapore, and install the digital SIM on a compatible, unlocked phone before you need directions.
Light maps and messages can run on 3 GB for 7 days at €2.19, or stretch the same 3 GB over 30 days at €2.31 if your stay runs closer to one month. A 14-day trip that needs about 2 weeks of steady use fits the 3 GB for 15 days option at €2.31. Frequent photo uploads and video calls point to 10 GB for 30 days at €7.28. Each of these data plans is a fixed total allowance, not a daily refill.
One city, many different journeys.
Listed networks: Singtel Singapore. Connects to 4G/5G where the network offers it. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. Save tickets and meeting details before moving between street level, stations and indoor venues. A supported network does not guarantee a signal in every building or underground spot.

Changi: plan the transfer and your final stop.
From Changi Airport MRT Station, city-bound travellers ride to Tanah Merah and change to the East West Line toward Tuas Link. Match the train's operating hours to your landing time before you count on it.
Note the station and exit nearest your hotel. If you take a taxi or private hire instead, follow your terminal's pickup instructions and send your companion the meeting point.
Mobile internet can fetch a booking, but it isn't a transport ticket. Save the reservation and your accommodation address before you leave airport Wi-Fi, especially after a late arrival.
Save before you goHotel address, arrival terminal, chosen station exit and transfer booking.
Marina Bay: agree on an exact entrance before you split up.
Waterfront walks and major attractions sit close together at Marina Bay, but a pin dropped on the whole bay makes a weak meeting point. Pick a specific entrance or landmark and share it before the group separates.
Use the official visitor guide to choose which stops fit your day, then check each venue's booking and entry details. Download admission codes so a slow connection at the door doesn't stall the group.
If you upload waterfront photos between stops, watch what's left of your allowance. A full cloud backup can wait for Wi-Fi back at the hotel.
Save before you goAdmission codes, the agreed entrance and your route back to the hotel.
Kampong Gelam: save the shopfront and the street name.
Plan a walk around Haji Lane and the nearby streets using the tourism board's Kampong Gelam guide. Choose a few stops rather than bouncing between far-apart saved places.
For a restaurant booking or a meet-up with friends, send the shop name and street address together. Screenshots of the reservation and an agreed time help if one person drops offline.
The same Singapore plan works from this neighbourhood to Marina Bay. You don't need a separate city product, but ordinary calls and SMS still require another service.
Save before you goRestaurant confirmation, street address and a meeting time everyone agreed on.
