View Mobile PlanM1 or StarHub? Here's the detail that reframes this whole comparison: the two telcos share the same 5G standalone network through Antina, their joint venture. So for 5G users this contest is decided less by coverage maps and more by plans, pricing, perks and service — which is exactly what the live grid above lets you compare. Broadly: M1 stands out for customisable plans, StarHub for its breadth of bundles and entertainment perks.
Network & coverage
Both are full mobile network operators with their own long-established 4G networks. For 5G, they jointly deploy a standalone network on the 3.5GHz band via Antina, their joint venture (built with Nokia) — StarHub reported the shared 5G SA footprint passing 99% outdoor population coverage in early 2024, and M1 customers ride the same infrastructure. Practical upshot: on 5G, M1 and StarHub coverage is essentially the same, though each telco's spectrum holdings and 4G layers still create small day-to-day differences.
Plans & flexibility
M1 is known for its Bespoke plans — contract, SIM-only or flexi — that let you dial in data and talktime yourself, alongside phone bundles, prepaid and eSIM support. StarHub counters with a wide postpaid lineup, entertainment and roaming perks, its own budget digital brand giga!, plus prepaid and eSIM options. Both offer no-contract SIM-only tiers, so nobody is forced into a lock-in either way.
Which should you pick?
Since the 5G network is shared, pick on fit: M1 if you want to customise a plan precisely or like its current pricing; StarHub if its bundles, perks or giga! sub-brand deals suit you better. Compare live prices in the grid above, see the full M1 and StarHub pages, or browse 5G plans, SIM-only plans and the best plans across all providers.
Frequently asked questions
Is M1 better than StarHub?+
For 5G they share the same standalone network via their Antina joint venture, so neither has a meaningful 5G coverage edge. The real differences are in plans: M1 leads on customisation with its Bespoke plans, StarHub on bundles, perks and its budget giga! sub-brand. Compare their live plans above to see which fits you.
Do M1 and StarHub use the same network?+
Partly, yes. Each runs its own 4G network, but their 5G standalone service is deployed jointly through Antina, the M1–StarHub joint venture on the 3.5GHz band. On 5G, customers of both telcos use the same underlying infrastructure.
Which has better 5G, M1 or StarHub?+
Effectively the same — both deliver 5G standalone over the shared Antina network, which passed 99% outdoor population coverage in early 2024. Any differences come from plan tiers and speed policies rather than the radio network itself. See current 5G plans from both.
Which is cheaper, M1 or StarHub?+
It swings with promotions. M1's Bespoke SIM-only plans and StarHub's giga! brand both compete hard at the value end, while flagship tiers are priced similarly. The live grid above sorts both providers' current plans by price, and our cheapest plans page covers the whole market.
Can I keep my number if I switch between M1 and StarHub?+
Yes. Number porting is free in Singapore — sign up with the new telco, choose to keep your number, and don't cancel the old line until the port completes. Full walkthrough in our number porting guide.
