What is Singtel Australia roaming?
Singtel roaming in Australia lets you stay connected through its partner networks, Telstra and Optus, ensuring dependable 4G/LTE coverage across most of the country.
The service is available to postpaid and prepaid customers, each with different ways to manage data use and costs.
Postpaid users can activate daily roaming passes that charge a fixed rate per day, while prepaid travellers can choose flexible data add-ons with set validity periods.
Singtel postpaid roaming plans for Australia
If you’re on a Singtel postpaid plan, you can choose from several data roaming add-ons that make staying connected in Australia more predictable.
Instead of paying daily rates, you can pick a data plan that fits your trip length and usage. Singtel Australia roaming postpaid plans include both limited data bundles and unlimited passes, for fast 4G/LTE coverage.

* For ReadyRoam plans, if you use up your data limit before the validity period ends, Singtel automatically adds a 1GB top-up for $5.
Singtel prepaid roaming plans for Australia
Singtel prepaid users can also stay connected in Australia through a dedicated DataRoam add-on that offers better value for short trips.
Here is what 7-day Asia Prepaid DataRoam (Plan B) offers in Australia and 10 other destinations:
| Plan Name | Data Allowance | Price (SGD) | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asia Prepaid DataRoam (Plan B) | 6 GB | $20 | 7 days |
The data allowance expires after seven days and isn’t carried over, making it best suited if you need a week of reliable coverage without daily charges.
Singtel Australia pay-per-use charges
If you don’t activate a roaming plan, Singtel charges $25 per MB for pay-per-use in Australia. Even brief app updates or background activity can cost more than a day’s add-on.
To avoid unexpected roaming charges, activate a ReadyRoam or DataRoam plan before you fly. If you’re unsure how much data you typically use, a Data Usage Calculator can help you estimate and choose the right plan.
