Vodafone AU prepaid international roaming add-on for Singapore
Prepaid customers must purchase an international roaming add-on to use Vodafone roaming in Singapore. Otherwise, the standard pay-as-you-go rates will apply, which can become very expensive, especially if you want to use data-heavy apps like Snapchat or Instagram.
You can select from the following three packs:
| Price | Duration | Data | Standard Talk | Standard SMS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5 | 1-Day plan | 1 GB | 100 Min (incoming and outgoing) | 100 international texts |

If you are not eligible to use the $5 roaming plan or haven’t purchased an international roaming add-on, the standard pay-as-you-go rates will apply, which can be so restrictive and expensive.
- Data: $1 per MB
- Calls: $1 per minute
- SMS: $0.75 per message
- Warning: At $1 per MB rates, users who spend time on apps like Instagram or Facebook could pay up to $100 daily, even for just 10 minutes of use. If you want to frequently use mobile internet in Singapore, purchasing an eSIM can be a better option.
