For years, SIM-only, no-contract mobile plans were seen as the “budget” option, a way to cut costs as long as you were willing to sacrifice quality. That perception is changing fast. In Singapore, users now have access to digital-first plans that can deliver true value: premium experiences without the price tag. The introduction of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) like GOMO shows that flexibility and quality can be delivered in a high-value package.
GOMO’s SIM-only plans are designed for savvy consumers who want more control over their mobile experience. The generous data allowances, built-in roaming, and access to Singapore’s most reliable 5G+ network allows GOMO to ensure that your experience is never compromised. GOMO now also offers 2 new 400GB 5G+ plans, specfically for Students and NSFs aged 16 to 24 at $12 a month, and Seniors aged 60 and above at $6 a month.
#1 High Data Allowances Means More Freedom And Less Worry
In Singapore, where connectivity is key to work and play, the need for data is no longer a luxury. From streaming shows on Netflix to joining Zoom calls on the go, our phones are constantly online. Yet many mobile users still find themselves rationing data, worrying about overages, or scrambling for Wi-Fi. GOMO’s plans are designed to eliminate that anxiety.
So, are SIM-only plans actually better value than traditional mobile plans?
Absolutely yes, take the 5G+ CORE plan, which offers a massive 700GB of local data each month. That’s more than enough for heavy streamers, gamers, and professionals who rely on their phones for work. Instead of counting gigabytes, users can enjoy the freedom to use their devices the way they want.
#2 Generous Roaming Benefits Allow You To Stay Connected Abroad
Many SIM-only plans today now include roaming benefits, especially for Malaysia and regional travel, reducing the need for separate travel add-ons.
Staying connected while travelling has always been a pain point. We are all familiar with the experience of switching SIM cards, buying temporary packages, or incurring roaming charges due to unreliable roaming. All these turn what should be convenient into a hassle. GOMO changes the equation by building roaming benefits directly into its plans.
Heading to Malaysia for a weekend getaway? Roaming is included. Flying to Europe or the US or any of 50 other destinations for work? The 5G+ Asia Infinity and 5G+ Global Infinity plans offer unlimited* roaming in Asia and Worldwide respectively, ensuring you stay connected wherever you go.
Frequent travellers, digital nomads, or professionals who need seamless connectivity across borders will instantly recognise the value of such plans.
#3 A Reliable Network With Quality You Can Count On
One concern Singaporeans still have about SIM-only plans is whether lower prices come at the expense of network quality. Increasingly, newer digital-first plans are proving that affordability and reliable connectivity can co-exist.
This is where GOMO truly stands apart. Powered by Singtel’s 5G+ network, the only network in Singapore that’s been upgraded to 700Mhz, GOMO users enjoy the widest coverage and most reliable 5G+ speeds.
This means fewer dropped calls, smoother streaming, and faster downloads across the island. Whether you’re working from home, commuting, or travelling abroad, GOMO ensures your connection is strong and consistent.
#4 Competitive Price Points Offer Smart Value
Affordability often comes with hidden trade-offs. Some plans lower costs by limiting data, restricting roaming, or compromising on network quality. GOMO flips that narrative by offering premium experiences at accessible prices.
The 5G+ CORE plan is available at $20.99/month. Enjoy 700GB in Singapore, 700GB in Malaysia, 12GB in 18 destinations across Asia and 12GB in 50 destinations worldwide.
Need more connectivity overseas? The 5G+ Global Infinity Plan offers unlimited* worldwide roaming across 50 destinations at $50/month.
*Fair Usage Policy Applies
Regular promotions are often available, highlighting GOMO’s commitment to smart value. We’re not talking about cutting corners here, but the genuine value of paying less for more, so there’s no need to worry that these prices come at the expense of quality.
As mentioned earlier, GOMO also offers 2 new SIM-only plans, one for students and NSFs between ages 16 to 24, and one for seniors aged 60 and above. Both of these plans come with 400GB in Singapore and 400GB in Malaysia.
Making The Switch To GOMO Is Easy
If you currently have a postpaid number registered under your NRIC or FIN, you can submit a number transfer order to GOMO. If you’ve requested for an eSIM, porting-in to GOMO will typically take 1 to 3 working days. In the meantime, GOMO will issue you a temporary number so you can start using your new mobile plan.
Once your port-in is completed, you’ll be notified via email, and you’ll be able to use your postpaid number with no extra fuss.
