Free Wi-Fi at SIN

The free network is #WiFi@Changi. Select it, open a browser, go to any website to reach the login page and tap the WiFi logo. There is no registration: no account, email or phone number. It covers public and transit areas in all terminals, including the arrival halls.

Buying a SIM card after arrivals

SIM cards from Singtel, StarHub and M1 are sold in every terminal. In Terminals 1 and 2, Changi Recommends has a counter in the Level 1 Arrival Hall; Cheers, 7-Eleven, money changers and StarHub also sell them, and Terminals 3 and 4 follow the same pattern. Prices run from S$12 to S$50: Singtel's S$12 card gives 100 GB of local data and 3 GB of roaming for 14 days (checked October 2026). Bring your passport to register the SIM. International cards are accepted; cash must be Singapore dollars.

eSIM plans for Singapore

Install one at home before you fly and you are online when the wheels touch down, with no queue at a SIM counter.

Mobile networks in Singapore

Singapore has four mobile networks: Singtel, StarHub, M1 and SIMBA. Singtel, StarHub and M1 switched off their 3G networks in 2024, so service runs on 4G and 5G. A travel eSIM connects to one of them as a roaming partner, which is why data roaming must be on for the eSIM line. The partner network can differ from plan to plan, so check the plan details, or ask us at support@esimlounge.com before you buy.
