View Mobile PlanSIMBA or M1? Both run their own networks, but they play very different games: M1 is one of Singapore's established full-service telcos, while SIMBA is the lean challenger competing almost purely on price and data. Worth knowing: SIMBA agreed in 2025 to buy M1's telco business from Keppel, but the deal was terminated in May 2026 — so they remain separate, competing providers. The grid above shows live plans from both.
Network & coverage
M1, a Keppel subsidiary and one of Singapore's longest-running operators, runs its own 4G network and delivers 5G standalone through Antina, the joint venture it shares with StarHub on the 3.5GHz band. SIMBA is the fourth mobile network operator — formerly TPG Singapore, launched commercially in 2020 and rebranded in 2022 — with its own independently built 4G and 5G network. M1's network has decades more maturity, particularly indoors; SIMBA's is younger but has expanded steadily since launch.
Plans & flexibility
M1 covers the full spread: customisable Bespoke plans (contract, SIM-only or flexi), phone bundles, prepaid, eSIM support and True 5G plans. That flexibility is M1's signature — you tune data and talktime to fit. SIMBA keeps it minimal: contract-free prepaid and postpaid-style plans on 30-day cycles, every plan with 5G access and eSIM, and pricing that consistently ranks among Singapore's lowest per gigabyte. No device bundles, no frills — that's the point.
Which should you pick?
Pick M1 if you want a customisable plan, a phone bundle or a more established network. Pick SIMBA if you want maximum data for minimum spend with zero commitment. Compare live prices in the grid above, dig into the full SIMBA and M1 pages, or browse cheapest plans, SIM-only plans and 5G plans market-wide.
Frequently asked questions
Is SIMBA better than M1?+
It depends on your priorities. SIMBA usually wins on price and data volume with contract-free simplicity; M1 wins on plan flexibility (its Bespoke plans are customisable), device bundles and a more established network. Compare both providers' live plans in the grid above.
Do SIMBA and M1 use the same network?+
No. M1 runs its own network and delivers 5G standalone via Antina, its joint venture with StarHub. SIMBA (formerly TPG Singapore) is the fourth mobile network operator with its own separately built 4G and 5G infrastructure.
Did SIMBA buy M1?+
No. Keppel agreed in 2025 to sell M1's telco business to SIMBA, but the deal was terminated in May 2026 after its conditions were not met by the deadline. As of now, M1 remains Keppel-owned and the two operate as separate, competing telcos.
Which is cheaper, SIMBA or M1?+
SIMBA's whole strategy is aggressive pricing, so its headline plans typically cost less per gigabyte than M1's, while M1 offers more premium options and bundles. Promotions shift the picture month to month — the live grid above shows current prices from both, and our cheapest plans page covers the full market.
Can I keep my number if I switch between SIMBA and M1?+
Yes. Porting is free in both directions and arranged during sign-up with the new provider — keep your existing line active until the transfer completes. Step-by-step details are in our number porting guide.
