Does the eSIM also work on Sentosa and on the smaller islands around Singapore?

Yes. The Singtel and StarHub network covers the island of Sentosa, including the resorts and theme parks, as well as the ferries to nearby Indonesian islands such as Batam. On the water the signal may vary, but once on land the connection is guaranteed almost everywhere.

Can I use the eSIM to get around on the MRT and the buses in Singapore?

Absolutely. Singapore's mobile network covers the entire MRT network, including the underground tunnels. You will be able to check transport apps such as Citymapper or the MyTransport site in real time without ever losing signal between one station and the next.

Do I need an adapter to charge my phone in Singapore?

Yes. Singapore uses the Type G socket (the same as the United Kingdom) at 230V — the shape of the plug is different from the Italian one. Most modern chargers are compatible with the voltage, but you will need to bring a plug adapter. Many hotels provide adapters on request, but it is advisable to bring one from home.

How much do you save compared with Italian roaming in Singapore?

Roaming costs with an Italian SIM in Singapore can be very high, often €10–25 per day depending on the operator. Some European plans include roaming in Asia at reduced speed, but rarely with sufficient quality to use apps such as Grab or Google Maps smoothly. A dedicated Datiovunque eSIM is almost always cheaper and guarantees 5G speed without limitations.

How much does an eSIM for Singapore cost?

eSIM plans for Singapore start from €1.99. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Which operator or network does the eSIM use in Singapore?

The eSIM in Singapore connects automatically to local networks such as Singtel, StarHub / M1, StarHub, M1 — on 4G/LTE and, where available, 5G. Coverage reaches about 99% in inhabited areas. Your phone picks the best available network by itself.

Can I keep my Italian number with the eSIM in Singapore?

Yes. Your Italian SIM and number stay active — the travel eSIM works alongside it as a data-only line. You stay reachable on WhatsApp, iMessage or Wi-Fi while you use the local network to browse. Traditional calls and SMS still go through your Italian number.

Should I activate the eSIM before or after I leave?

Install the eSIM at home, on Wi-Fi, before you leave. The data plan then activates automatically when you connect in Singapore. That way you are online as soon as you arrive, without looking for airport Wi-Fi or buying a local SIM.

Can I top up or renew the plan for Singapore?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in Singapore?

Yes. You can share the connection in Singapore through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for Singapore?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

Singapore is a city-state that never lets you stand still: from the maze of flavours at Hawker Chan to the dizzying luxury of Marina Bay Sands, from the lush greenery of Gardens by the Bay to the colourful alleys of Chinatown, every neighbourhood calls for an up-to-date map, an instant booking and a photo to upload in real time. With the constant equatorial heat and some of the most efficient public transport in the world, getting around is easy — but only if you are connected. With a Datiovunque eSIM already active before boarding in Rome, when you land at the famous Changi Airport you will be online in a few seconds, without queues and without looking for a physical SIM in a shop.

Why an eSIM is essential in Singapore

Singapore is one of the most digitally connected cities in the world, yet for tourists buying a local SIM at the airport means queuing at the operators' counters, showing a passport and waiting for activation. With a Datiovunque eSIM all this is already solved before take-off. Coverage reaches 99% of the territory, including MRT stations, the underground shopping centres of Orchard Road, the island of Sentosa and even the ferries to the surrounding islands. The operators Singtel, StarHub and M1 guarantee a stable 4G/5G network everywhere, essential for using Grab (the local ride-hailing app), navigating Google Maps in the network of pedestrian underpasses or consulting food market guides without congested public Wi-Fi. Singapore is on UTC+8, that is 6 hours ahead of Rome in summer and 7 in winter: having internet from the first moment is essential for reorganising your itinerary and communicating with people back home without wasting precious time.

Going away for 1-2 weeks? Pick a plan with 3-5 GB for maps, photos and messages.

Business travellers

For video conferencing and email while travelling, we suggest at least 5 GB or an unlimited plan.

Backpackers

A longer trip is better served by 10+ GB, or by a regional plan that spans multiple countries.
