GOMO, giga, SIMBA and Circles.Life are four competing mobile providers in Singapore. They may not be as big as Singtel or StarHub, but they do compete closely on price, data, calls, and texts. Then there are their plan inclusions to consider.
Before we compare these mobile providers, here’s a look at these mobile providers’ best value plans today with at least 50GB of data.
GOMO, giga, SIMBA (TPG) and Circles.Life all operate on different mobile networks. GOMO is on Singtel, giga is on StarHub, Circles.Life is on M1 and SIMBA has its own mobile network.

When it comes to download speed, Singtel follows closely in second place, with M1 in third place. In both upload and download speeds, SIMBA (TPG) is the slowest overall.

The best overall call value for these competing mobile providers comes from SIMBA. If you like making calls in Singapore, the SIMBA SuperRoam 10 SIM Only plan comes with unlimited local call minutes for $10 a month, plus 600 IDD and SG fixed line minutes.
Circles.Life comes in at second place with its 4G Core SIM Only plan, which includes unlimited outgoing and incoming local calls for $10.80 a month, but no IDD minutes.
Tied for third best value comes is giga and GOMO. giga's 100GB SIM Only plan, which comes with 300 minutes of outgoing local calls for $10.19 a month (plus $2.04 upfront). Incoming calls are also included as a plan perk. GOMO's $12 (plus $2 upfront) 4G Value plan, also comes with 300 local minutes.
The best value mobile plan for calls is the SIMBA SuperRoam 10 SIM Only plan, which has unlimited outgoing local call minutes. Alternatively, here’s a list of popular mobile plans from other providers in Singapore with at least 500 minutes of calls.
GOMO vs giga vs SIMBA (TPG) vs Circles.Life: SMS value

In second place is the SIMBA SuperRoam 12 SIM Only mobile plan with 100 outbound local SMSes.
While there are plenty of Circles.Life plans that offer great value for calls and data, most plans only include 25 outgoing SMSes.
Alternatively, consider these plans from other mobile providers in Singapore with at least 100 SMSes.
GOMO vs giga vs SIMBA (TPG) vs Circles.Life: Regular inclusions
It’s standard for mobile providers in Singapore to offer plan add-ons at extra costs. These add-ons can include extra data, calls and SMSes, plus international direct dial (IDD) and data roaming. But we also like it when mobile providers offer valuable standard inclusions.
SIMBA (TPG) SIM-only mobile plans tend to come with at least 15GB of data roaming and IDD. All data can be used in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, with plans $10 and above also for use in Indonesia and plans $12 and above also for use in Thailand. More expensive SIMBA mobile plans also come with bigger data roaming allowances, plus up to 700 IDD minutes.
Cheaper Circles.Life plans are quite bare-bones, with at most 1GB of roaming data. However, most 5G plans include CirclesAI access (ChatGPT 5.2, Google Gemini and Perplexity Sonar).
All giga plans come with data rollover, roaming data, plus $6 per person you successfully refer to the mobile provider (up to six people). GOMO mobile plans include data banking, roaming data, and caller ID.
Because the value of plan inclusions is personal preference, there’s no clear winner here.
