Pros and cons

Pros

  • Daily Passport roaming from SGD 2.95, competitive against a site median price of €5
  • Coverage across 78 countries on a regional basis
  • 5G, plus a Tourist SIM built for visitors in Singapore
  • Sold as a carrier, so support comes from the network operator rather than a reseller

Cons

  • Coverage of 78 countries trails Zwitchy at 200
  • A regional focus suits trips across neighbouring destinations more than multi-continent ones
  • A carrier plan means setup runs through M1 itself rather than a download marketplace

Who it suits

  • Short trips where a daily roaming pass beats buying local SIMs
  • Travellers landing in Singapore who want 5G from a carrier
  • People who prefer a network operator's own plan to a marketplace

Who should look elsewhere

  • Multi-country trips needing Zwitchy, with 200 countries
  • Lowest entry price seekers, since eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99
  • Buyers after a larger data bundle, where SimToIsrael starts at $25

Coverage and networks

M1 reaches 78 countries, and the coverage is regional rather than confined to a single market. 5G is available on the plan. For a traveller crossing several neighbouring destinations, that spread is useful; for an itinerary that hops continents, it is narrower than a global eSIM.

What data costs

Daily Passport roaming from SGD 2.95 is the entry point, and the reference plan prices set that alongside a Tourist SIM for Singapore visitors. Buyers weighing entry cost against data volume should note that the daily pass suits light navigation days, so short trips spend less than heavy data weeks.

How M1 compares

Frequently asked questions

What does M1 roaming cost from?+

Daily Passport roaming from SGD 2.95 is the entry point, below the site median price of €5. The same reference lists a Tourist SIM for Singapore visitors, so the same short-trip audience can pick either a day pass or a visitor plan.

How many countries does M1 cover?+

Coverage runs to 78 countries on a regional basis, which is well short of Zwitchy at 200. Multi-continent itineraries that cross several regions are better served by a wider plan, so a holiday inside the footprint suits M1 better.

Does M1 offer 5G?+

Yes. 5G is available, and 5G is one of the 5g and carrier plan listed for the plan. Visitors who want the fastest option on arrival in Singapore can pick a Tourist SIM or the Daily Passport.

Is M1 a marketplace or the carrier itself?+

M1 is the carrier, listed as a carrier seller type, and carriers are the most common seller type on the site at 59.9%. That means you deal with the network operator rather than a reseller.

Is M1 a physical SIM or an eSIM?+

The offering is a carrier plan for visitors, and carrier plans are among the most common features listed at 64.8%. Expect to set up through M1's own arrangement rather than a marketplace app.

Who does M1 suit?+

M1 fits short trips, with short-trip audiences making up 98.5% of the site set. The short trip framing and the Tourist SIM for Singapore visitors both point at brief holidays rather than long stays.

How does M1 compare with cheaper options?+

Entry from SGD 2.95 is competitive against the €5 site median, but eSIMGo.is starts lower at $0.99. The trade-off is a network operator's own service and a Tourist SIM for Singapore visitors against the lowest headline price.

Does M1 suit long trips abroad?+

Regional coverage of 78 countries is the limit here, and the plan is framed for short trips. Long journeys that cross regions work better with a global option such as Zwitchy, which covers 200 countries.
