What is GOMO roaming?

GOMO roaming provides international connectivity using Singtel’s extensive global infrastructure. As a digital-first sub-brand, GOMO benefits from the same network reach and reliability that have made Singtel a leading telecom provider across Asia.

Roaming is available in more than 50 destinations, with plan-specific entitlements depending on whether you’re on a prepaid or postpaid subscription. 

Some GOMO plans include complimentary data in nearby countries, while others operate on a top-up model using your GOMO wallet. 

Roaming data is billed by destination zone, so it’s important to review your entitlements before departure to avoid roaming charges when travelling.

GOMO roaming countries

GOMO roaming countries are grouped into tiered data packs based on your destination. Whether you’re heading across the border or halfway around the world, GOMO offers flexible roaming options that help you stay connected without hassle.

Some popular destinations supported by GOMO roaming include:

• GOMO roaming in Malaysia
• GOMO roaming in China
• GOMO roaming in Japan
• GOMO roaming in Thailand
• GOMO roaming in APAC
• GOMO roaming in Australia
• GOMO roaming in Indonesia

Here is a complete overview of how GOMO’s international roaming is structured:

Note: Data roaming is currently unavailable in Myanmar.

GOMO roaming: Plans and pricing

Most GOMO mobile plans include free monthly roaming data, typically between 6GB and 10GB, to selected destinations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and Australia, making them a convenient option for casual travellers. 

However, if you’re heading to other countries or need more data, GOMO offers a range of single-country and multi-destination roaming packs to keep your travel costs predictable. From daily passes to regional and global bundles, each add-on includes a fixed amount of data valid for a set period.

Here is a breakdown of all GOMO roaming plans, including destinations, data limits, validity, and prices in Singapore Dollars (SGD).

Roam single destination add-on plans

If you’re only travelling from Singapore to one country, GOMO’s single destination roaming (RSD) add-ons offer a simple way to stay connected without overpaying for multi-country bundles. 

These passes provide a fixed amount of data and are valid for a limited time, ideal for short trips or single-city stopovers. They vary by destination, but generally follow this structure:

Note: 

• RSD plans are currently available only for listed countries. Once activated, GOMO automatically deducts data usage until the bundle is exhausted or the validity period ends.
• You can purchase these add-ons directly from the GOMO app before or during your trip.

Roam More destinations (Asia Pack)

If you’re travelling across multiple countries in Asia, GOMO’s Asia Pack offers better value than individual roaming add-ons. 

It includes up to 10GB of high-speed data (with unlimited reduced-speed access thereafter) valid for 15 days, and works across 18 destinations.

Here’s the breakdown:

*Speed reduced after 10GB.

This pack is ideal for regional travellers who need reliable data while hopping between cities like Bangkok, Tokyo, and Seoul, without switching SIMs or worrying about per-country limits.

Roam More destinations: Worldwide Pack

For travellers heading beyond Asia, GOMO’s Worldwide Pack offers seamless connectivity across 50 countries. 

With generous data options and multi-country coverage, it’s a practical choice for short international trips where flexibility and simplicity matter.

Here’s an overview:

*Speed reduced after 10GB.

This option is best for frequent flyers visiting multiple regions and looking to avoid high pay-per-use charges while abroad.

How to activate GOMO roaming

Roaming with GOMO is straightforward, but it needs to be set up before you travel. Everything is handled through the GOMO Singapore app; there’s no need to enter any activation codes manually.

To enable GOMO roaming:

• Open the GOMO Singapore app
• Go to Manage My Plan > Add-Ons > Roaming
• Select and activate the roaming add-on for your destination
• Ensure your plan is active and your wallet has enough credit
• On your phone, enable Data Roaming in mobile settings
• Set the APN to e-ideas if needed (leave username/password blank).
• Restart your phone after landing to connect to a local network

Here are also some pre-travel GOMO roaming activation and setup tips to consider:

• Activate your GOMO roaming at least 24 hours before you depart Singapore to ensure smooth connectivity.
• Make sure your plan is active and you have enough credit for roaming packs.
• Research how much data you’ll need traveling beforehand, and buy a roaming pack that matches your destination and duration.

How to avoid high GOMO roaming charges

Roaming charges can pile up quickly if you’re not careful, especially when browsing apps that use the most mobile data, like Instagram, YouTube, or Google Maps. Here’s how to manage your usage and avoid bill shock:

• Track your data usage in real-time via the GOMO app
• Disable background app refresh and automatic updates
• Use Wi-Fi for streaming, large downloads, or uploads
• Turn on Airplane Mode when you’re not actively using your phone
• Buy a suitable roaming add-on, such as the GOMO Worldwide Pack, before travelling
• Consider using an unlimited data eSIM like Holafly for predictable costs and full peace of mind

Holafly eSIM: An unlimited data alternative to GOMO roaming

While GOMO offers flexible roaming packs, coverage and data are limited, and overages can still occur. If you’re looking for a more predictable, worry-free option, Holafly’s international eSIM is a great alternative.

Holafly provides unlimited data in over 200 destinations, with simple activation and transparent pricing. No roaming zones, no surprise charges, and hotspot support included.

The following is a comparison of Holafly and GOMO roaming plans:

*GOMO’s “Unlimited” roaming options reduce speed after 10GB of usage.

Choose the option that best matches your travel style and data needs, but if you’re after unlimited data and a stress-free setup, Holafly’s eSIM could be a more seamless solution.
