M1 postpaid pay-as-you-go roaming in APAC countries
M1 eSIM charges $0.02 per MB + 20% surcharge for postpaid pay-as-you-go data in APAC countries. This rate applies if you haven’t activated a roaming add-on or if your data pack runs out during your trip.
For example, using 100 MB of data without a roaming plan would cost around $2.40. Even basic tasks like checking emails, using Google Maps, or uploading photos could consume this much data quickly.
To avoid surprise roaming charges, it’s best to activate a plan that matches your destination and data usage in advance.
M1 APAC prepaid roaming and data packs
M1 prepaid users can access roaming in selected APAC countries by activating one of the available roaming or data packs. Here is a quick overview of M1 APAC Prepaid roaming data packs, pricing, and validity:
| Plan | Included APAC Destinations | Roaming Data / Calls | Price (SGD) | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roaming Pack * | Use across 10 destinations: Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Thailand. | 2GB data + 10 mins calls | $15 | 10 days |
| Roaming Pack * | Use across 14 destinations: Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, and South Korea. | 2GB data + 10 mins calls | $28 | 10 days |
| Data Pack | Only available for use in 6 selected destinations: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. | 5GB | $5 | 3 days |
| Data Pack | 500GB | $10 | 14 days | |
| Data Pack | 100GB | $14 | 30 days | |
| Data Pack | 300GB | $28 | 30 days |
Note: Both the roaming packs include the same roaming data and calls. The price difference is due to their SIM validity and the number of APAC destinations covered. The $28 pack supports more countries and stays active for longer. Make sure to choose the option that fits your travel route and trip duration.
M1 prepaid pay-per-use rate in APAC countries
M1 charges $0.03 per KB for prepaid pay-per-use data in APAC countries, which equals $30 per MB. That means even light usage, like browsing or checking emails, can become costly very quickly.
For example, using 100 MB without a data pack would cost around $3,000. To avoid this, it’s best to estimate your needs using a data usage calculator and choose a prepaid plan that fits your trip.
How to activate M1 roaming in APAC countries
Activating M1 roaming is quick and easy, but it’s best to do it before you leave Singapore to ensure uninterrupted connectivity abroad.
- Prepaid users: Activate roaming via the M1 Prepaid App, M1 Prepaid Portal, or by dialling #100*8*1# on your phone.
- Postpaid users: Use the My M1+ App to activate roaming and purchase your desired add-on plan.
