Best mobile plans for seniors in Singapore

The ‘seniors go digital’ programme in Singapore has seen the creation of elderly focused mobile plans from participating providers. These participating mobile providers are also the network owners: namely, M1, Simba (formerly TPG Telecom), Singtel and StarHub. The catch is, these seniors plans aren’t overly competitive, which is why we’ve made our own better-value picks. Before we get into those, here’s a list of popular seniors-friendly mobile plans from our comparison engine that don’t cost more than $30 a month.

What is the ‘seniors go digital’ programme?

Seniors go digital is a programme by the Singapore Government to create simple and affordable plans for seniors. To be eligible for these seniors-branded plans, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident who’s 60 or older. M1, Singtel, StarHub and Simba (TPG) offer mobile plans as part of this programme. 

Prices range from around $5 to more than $130 per month. Typically, prices are cheaper than equivalent mobile plans available to the public. While a few plans are no-contract, most include a contract. Data inclusions range from 2GB up to 120GB, not including bonus data. 

Most of these mobile plans are 4G but some include 5G speeds. Call minutes range from zero to up to 10,000 or unlimited local calls. SMS allowances range from zero to 1,200 texts. 

 To sign up, users typically must verify their eligibility and may have to visit an M1, Simba, Singtel or StarHub store. For comparison, here are some popular plans from participating ‘seniors go digital’ mobile providers that don’t cost more than $30 a month.

Of the mobile plans that are part of the ‘seniors go digital’ programme, there are a few choices under $10 per month. Simba Seniors, Singtel $5 Mobile Access for Seniors Plan and StarHub 4G $8 SIM Only. All of these aren’t as competitively priced as the Zero1 Starter SIM Only plan. It has a $22.47 once-off upfront fee but typically costs $6.90 every 30 days. 

 This Zero1 mobile plan comes with 5GB of max-speed data on the Singtel 4G network before reverting to managed speeds until the next renewal cycle.
