View Mobile PlanSingtel or SIMBA? This is Singapore's incumbent versus its newest challenger, and they sit at opposite ends of the market — so the right pick depends on what you value. Broadly: Singtel suits people who want the benchmark network, full service and support; SIMBA suits people who want lots of data for very little money and are happy with a lean, digital-first telco. The grid above shows live plans from both.
Network & coverage
Singtel is Singapore's largest operator: 95% nationwide 5G standalone coverage since July 2022, first to deploy 700MHz for 5G SA, and top of Opensignal's H1 2025 Singapore report for median 5G download speed and 5G availability. SIMBA is the country's fourth mobile network operator — formerly TPG Singapore, licensed in 2016, launched commercially in 2020 and rebranded in 2022 under Tuas Ltd. It runs its own 4G and 5G network rather than leasing another telco's. SIMBA's coverage has grown well beyond its early days, but Singtel's network is still the one others are measured against, especially indoors and underground.
Plans, support & flexibility
Singtel is full-service: phone bundles, postpaid SIM-only, prepaid, eSIM, 5G+ tiers with network slicing, plus island-wide retail stores and hotline support. SIMBA keeps things simple — contract-free prepaid and postpaid-style plans on 30-day cycles, all with 5G access and eSIM, sold and supported primarily online and through its app. That lean model is exactly how SIMBA keeps prices low; the trade-off is a lighter-touch support experience than a walk-into-a-store incumbent.
Which should you pick?
Pick Singtel if you want maximum network quality, device bundles or in-person support. Pick SIMBA if price and data volume come first. Many budget hunters also compare SIMBA against Singtel's own value brand GOMO, which pairs Singtel's network with lower prices. See the live grid above, the full Singtel and SIMBA pages, or browse the cheapest plans and 5G plans.
Frequently asked questions
Is Singtel better than SIMBA?+
They target different users. Singtel offers the benchmark network, 5G+ with network slicing, device bundles and extensive retail support — at premium prices. SIMBA offers big data allowances at some of the lowest prices in Singapore on its own newer network. Neither is wrong; it depends whether network pedigree or price matters more to you.
Do Singtel and SIMBA use the same network?+
No. Singtel runs its own network — Singapore's largest. SIMBA is the country's fourth mobile network operator (formerly TPG Singapore) and operates its own independent 4G and 5G infrastructure. SIMBA is not an MVNO on Singtel's network.
How does customer support compare between Singtel and SIMBA?+
Singtel is a full-service telco with retail stores across the island, hotline support and a mature app. SIMBA runs a lean, digital-first operation — support is centred on its app and online help centre. That difference is part of why SIMBA's plans cost less; whether it matters depends on how much hand-holding you want.
Which is cheaper, Singtel or SIMBA?+
SIMBA competes almost entirely on price and data volume, so its headline plans usually undercut Singtel's flagship tiers. Singtel counters with its budget brands GOMO and hi!. Prices and promos change often — check the live plan grid above or our cheapest plans page for today's numbers.
Can I keep my number if I switch between Singtel and SIMBA?+
Yes. Number porting is free and handled during sign-up with your new provider — just select that you're bringing an existing number and keep your old line active until the port completes. See our guide to porting your number in Singapore.
