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, Singtel and StarHub (with the exception of Circles.Life, which uses the M1 network, and eight, which uses the StarHub network). The catch is, most of these seniors SIM-only 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 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 that aims to create simple and affordable plans for senior citizens. To be eligible for these seniors-branded plans, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident who is 60 or older. M1, Singtel, StarHub, SIMBA, eight and Circles.Life offer mobile plans as part of this programme.

Prices range from around $5 to more than $140 per month. Typically, prices are lower than equivalent mobile plans available to the public, with a mixture of both contract and no-contract plans available. Data inclusions range from 5GB up to 600GB, not including bonus or unlimited data.

Most of these mobile plans are 4G, but some include 5G speeds. Call minutes range from 100 to up to 1,500 or unlimited local calls. SMS allowances range from 25 to 1,500 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 great value plans from participating ‘Seniors Go Digital’ mobile providers that don’t cost more than $30 a month.

We recommend starting comparisons with the M1 5G SIM Only 150GB Plan. It’s a SIM-Only (and better value) alternative to M1's Silver plans and Singtel Seniors Go Digital SIM Only Plans, both of which are part of the ‘Seniors Go Digital’ programme.

The M1 SIM Only 150GB Plan costs $14.95 every 30 days (currently just $11.95 for the first three months) and has no contract. It comes with a solid 150GB of data, 1,000 minutes of outgoing local calls and 1,000 outbound local SMS messages. This M1 plan also includes free eSIM registration, unlimited calls to three M1 numbers and unlimited weekend data for 12 months.

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 Circes.Life Seniors Go Digital Core $5 SIM Only. However, none of these are as good a value as eight's Double Eight Sim Only plan, which comes in at just $8 per month and is packed with great inclusions. It's even better than eight's own $5 Senior Plan.

This eight mobile plan comes with 528GB of data on the StarHub network for use in Singapore and Malaysia, along with 12GB of APAC roaming and 3GB international roaming. It also comes with 528 IDD minutes and 88 outbound local SMS messages. Features include unlimited outgoing local calls, free caller ID and incoming calls and texts.

There are plenty of mobile plans in the ‘Seniors Go Digital’ programme with more than 50GB of data. But with the exception of the StarHub Star Plan Senior, they’re all more expensive than the MyRepublic 5G Rewardland Plan, and have significantly less data.

This MyRepublic mobile plan costs $18 a month for unlimited data on the M1 4G network. As an extra perk, new sign-ups will get four months (after the first month) for $12. If you go over the data cap, speeds are managed until the next renewal cycle, so there are no surprise excess data fees. It also comes with 20GB APAC data, 100GB roaming data to Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, 2,000 minutes of outgoing local calls and 100 outbound local SMS messages. Features include free caller ID, incoming calls and inbound SMS.

Many ‘Seniors Go Digital’ plans offer plenty of call minutes, as much as 1,500 minutes. Singtel Seniors Go Digital Plus and Ultra Sim Only plans, as well as StarHub Star Plan Senior all offer 1,000 minutes or more. But it’s much cheaper to go with SIMBA's SuperRoam 10 SIM-only plan than any one of those.

This SIMBA mobile plan costs just $10 a month with no upfront fee. It comes with a generous 500GB of data for use in Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Malaysia, unlimited local outgoing SMS messages, 12GB of APAC roaming and 3GB of additional roaming data to 60+ countries. It also includes 500 IDD and fixed-line minutes, but more importantly for this category, it comes with unlimited calls to local mobiles.

Several familiar plan names offer 5G network access as part of the ‘Seniors Go Digital’ programme—namely, Singtel Seniors Go Digital Sim Only plans and the Starhub Star Plan Senior. But there’s better value to be had from the GOMO 5G+ Value SIM Only mobile plan.

This GOMO plan costs $18.33 every 30 days plus $2 upfront. The price includes 400GB of base data for use on the Singtel 5G network (with a compatible 5G mobile phone). The GOMO 5G Value SIM Only mobile plan also comes with 800 minutes of outgoing local calls and 800 outbound local SMSes. You'll also receive free caller ID, incoming calls, inbound SMS and SIM card delivery.
