Singaporeans love to travel, and a good overseas data roaming plan has become an essential part of any trip today. Whether it’s locating that tourist attraction, booking a private-hire ride, or finding out what time that Michelin-starred restaurant closes, you’ll need to be well-connected to the Internet regardless of where you are in the world.
However, the dangers of being online are numerous. Even in Singapore, phishing scams were among the most frequently reported scams. The risk of phishing scams increases when you’re overseas, with fake ticket links, booking payment pages, and QR codes.
Fortunately, Singtel sets security as a standard for every trip.
With UnlimitedRoam and ReadyRoam Monthly, you get free Mobile Protect to block scams and monitor security threats in real-time, so you can roam and carry out your bookings, payments and online activities safely and confidently overseas.
Singtel’s data roaming plans allow you to stay connected and roam securely wherever you travel. It does so in three ways.
#1 Roam Safe With 60 Days Of Free Mobile Protect
Sign up for any Singtel UnlimitedRoam or ReadyRoam Monthly plan and enjoy 60 days of Mobile Protect, absolutely free. No extra steps, no sign-up required.
How it works:
- Mobile Protect activates automatically when you’re on an eligible 5G plan with a 5G SIM and device, and you’ll receive an SMS once it’s active.
Travel with confidence:
- Your roaming data is routed through Singtel’s secure network using advanced Security-as-a-Slice technology.
- Even when connected to overseas partner networks, your traffic passes through Singtel’s secure slice and is monitored by Mobile Protect.
- Phishing sites, scam links, and malicious servers are blocked automatically.
Get weekly personalised security reports showing threats Mobile Protect has blocked during your trial.
Your free trial ends after 60 days with no charges unless you choose to subscribe.
Exclusively for Singtel 5G+ Priority customers, Mobile Protect is already included in your plan, plus enjoy 30% off any UnlimitedRoam plan.

#2 Multiple Trusted Networks Per Country Give Travellers Wider Coverage And Better Connectivity
You’ve just arrived at your destination after a red-eye flight. You want to book your airport transfer, message your host, and perhaps check which ramen shop is still open. Instead of searching for a SIM card counter or sifting through dodgy public Wi-Fi that keeps timing out, your Singtel plan automatically connects instantly to one of its trusted partner networks, quickly and securely, without having to find Wi-Fi hotspots.
Singtel provides the widest network coverage with 587 roaming networks in 256 destinations worldwide. This allows you to stay seamlessly connected wherever you go. Furthermore, with multiple trusted network partners, you automatically connect to the strongest network wherever you are. You won’t need to worry about buying SIM cards in the destination country or relying on a public Wi-Fi network that may be unsecured, and there will be fewer “dead zones” compared to a prepaid SIM or some eSIMs.
#3 Roam Seamlessly Without A VPN
Travelling is hectic enough without having to deal with complicated access issues. With Singtel’s data roaming plans, you stay on 5G and LTE networks in 157 destinations, so you can focus on exploring, not troubleshooting.
With Singtel Roaming, you don’t need to set up a VPN to continue using your everyday mobile apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok when travelling in certain destinations.
Think of it as carrying “Singapore passport” for global data connectivity. Simple, direct, and ready to go wherever your trip takes you. There’s no need for additional apps or VPN setup, just seamless connectivity so you can stream, navigate, message and do all you need to do while you’re overseas.
