Are you a prepaid user who heads to Malaysia often?
If you frequently cross the border to Malaysia every few weeks, you’re probably annoyed of having to carry a portable wifi router around, especially since you have to remember to charge it every day.
Or you’ve probably been to Malaysia only to realise that you’ve forgotten to buy data roaming, and so you’re stuck with wifi in the hotel.
Here’s a tip for all you JB-frequenters: Ditch the portable wifi and your current data plan because Singtel’s 5G Ultimate Plans have you covered in both Singapore and Malaysia.
Yes, in both countries, without having to do anything.
So, what is it?
Singtel Prepaid with unlimited* 5G data and 40GB roaming data.
If you’re a prepaid Singtel customer, there are many options for you to top up your card.
Now, there are updated options, called the Singtel’s Ultimate Plans, for you to top up, especially if you head to Malaysia often.
It comes in three plans, which are valid for four weeks upon top-up:
The $40 Ultimate Plan grants you unlimited* 5G local data, 40GB of roaming data in Malaysia, up to 2,000 IDD minutes, unlimited** local minutes and unlimited** local SMS.
This is perfect for those who want to get away from Singapore’s hustle and bustle and head over to JB for a short staycay every week or so.
If you want to beat the weekend crowd, you can even go in on a weekday and work remotely using your 40GB of roaming data, allowing you to get the most out of your plan.
For those of you who don’t travel to Malaysia as frequently, but still go there often enough, the $35 Ultimate Plan may suit your needs better.
You’ll still enjoy unlimited* 5G local data, with 20GB roaming data to Malaysia. You’ll also get to enjoy 1,000 IDD minutes, 1000 local minutes, and 500 local SMS.
You can comfortably play as much mobile legends as you want while your wife shops around in JB’s malls.
If you’re planning to travel to Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, or Thailand, you’ll also be able to use roaming data there under Singtel’s Ultimate plans.
Customers under the $35 Ultimate Plan can use 5GB of their 20GB roaming data in the countries above. Likewise, customers under the $40 Ultimate Plan can use 10GB of their 40GB roaming data in the countries above.
For those who don’t need roaming data, or much data at all, the $15 Ultimate Plan should suffice. This plan gives you 15GB of data along with 500 local minutes and 100 local SMS. You’ll also be able to enjoy free incoming calls and data rollover.
If you want to enjoy these benefits monthly, consider getting Singtel’s Monthly Plans which are auto-recurring on the hi!App every 30 days.
*Unlimited 5G data for $35/$40 Ultimate Plan is subject to Fair Usage Policy of 300GB/600GB of 5G data respectively.
**Unlimited local calls/SMS is subject to Fair Usage Policy of 3,000 local call minutes and 5,000 local SMS for 28 days.
The benefits of each plan are all the same, but there’s an additional YAY Plan.
The $19.90 YAY Plan is for customers who want to enjoy the superior speed of 5G data but have no need for roaming data.
Under this plan, customers can enjoy 50GB of 5G data every month.
If your parents or grandparents are the type who enjoy chatting on the phone with their friends all the time, this might be the plan to get for them as up to 1,000 IDD minutes, 2,500 local minutes, and 300 SMS are included in this plan.
The 5G data can also allow them to see their friends clearly during video calls, making it feel like they’re right there with their friends in person.

Not a Singtel Prepaid customer?
