SIMBA or giga!? These are two of Singapore's favourite app-first value brands, both contract-free — but they're built very differently under the hood. giga! is StarHub's all-digital sub-brand riding an established network; SIMBA is an independent operator with its own network and famously aggressive pricing. Which wins depends on whether you prioritise network pedigree or raw data per dollar — the live grid above shows both brands' current plans.

Network & coverage

giga! is powered by StarHub, so it runs on StarHub's network — a full mobile network operator whose 5G standalone service passed 99% outdoor population coverage in early 2024. SIMBA runs its own network: it's Singapore's fourth mobile network operator (formerly TPG Singapore, rebranded in 2022 under Tuas Ltd) with independently built 4G and 5G infrastructure. StarHub's network is the more mature of the two, particularly indoors; SIMBA's has grown substantially since its 2020 launch.

Plans & flexibility

The two brands feel similar to use: no contracts, 30-day cycles, sign-up and management through an app. giga! plans come with 5G, eSIM, free data rollover and monthly Asia roaming data included, and it regularly launches niche offers like its 2026 gigaFLEX+ youth plan. SIMBA offers prepaid and postpaid-style plans, all with 5G access and eSIM, plus long-validity options — and it tends to set the market floor on price per gigabyte. Both make it easy to port your number during online sign-up.

Which should you pick?

Pick giga! if you want StarHub's network with rollover and included roaming in a budget package. Pick SIMBA if the lowest price and biggest data bank win the day. Compare live prices in the grid above, read the full SIMBA and giga! pages, or browse cheapest plans, eSIM plans and 5G plans across every provider.

Frequently asked questions

Is SIMBA better than giga!?+
Neither is outright better. SIMBA usually offers more data for less money on its own network, while giga! pairs StarHub's more established network with perks like free data rollover and included Asia roaming. If price rules, lean SIMBA; if network maturity and travel perks matter, lean giga!.
Do SIMBA and giga! use the same network?+
No. giga! is StarHub's digital sub-brand and runs entirely on the StarHub network. SIMBA (formerly TPG Singapore) is Singapore's fourth mobile network operator and runs its own independent 4G and 5G network.
Which is cheaper, SIMBA or giga!?+
SIMBA generally sets the market's price floor, but giga! runs frequent promotions that close the gap — and rollover can stretch a smaller allowance further. Prices change often, so check the live grid above or our cheapest plans page for today's numbers.
Which has better 5G, SIMBA or giga!?+
giga! plans include 5G on StarHub's standalone network, which covers over 99% of Singapore's outdoor population. SIMBA includes 5G access on all plans via its own newer network. Both deliver 5G at budget prices — compare current 5G plans side by side.
Can I keep my number if I switch between SIMBA and giga!?+
Yes. Both support free number porting during online sign-up — choose to bring your existing number and leave your old line active until the switch completes. Our porting guide covers the steps.
