The Sweet Spot for Most Users

FAQ
Is it worth paying $15 instead of $10? Depends on your usage. The extra $5 often doubles your data allowance and adds meaningful roaming. If you travel to Malaysia or Indonesia even a few times a year, the included roaming data pays for itself versus buying travel SIMs.
Which network should I choose at this price? At $10-15, you have options on all four networks. Singtel network (via GOMO, VIVIFI, Zero1) generally has the best coverage. StarHub network (via giga, eight) is also solid. SIMBA offers aggressive pricing but some users report weaker indoor coverage.
