Our verdict on each
M1
M1 suits short-trip travellers who want a carrier's own plan rather than a marketplace. Daily Passport roaming starts at SGD 2.95, a Tourist SIM is aimed at visitors to Singapore, and coverage reaches 78 countries on a regional basis, with 5G available.
Vodafone Oman
Vodafone Oman sells visitor plans as the carrier itself, Oman Future Telecommunications Company, from OMR 2. It suits travelers already in Oman who want a local prepaid number, top-ups and carrier support, rather than a global eSIM bought before departure. The add-ons are listed for short trip and long trip trips.

Pros and cons
M1
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
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
Vodafone Oman
Pros
- Entry price is OMR 2, and data allowances rise with validity across the Musafir and Worldwide add-ons.
- Vodafone Oman is the carrier, Oman Future Telecommunications Company, so the same company sells and supports the plan.
- Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, and top-ups are available for a longer stay.
Cons
- Coverage of 29 countries is far below the 200 countries Zwitchy lists.
- Unlimited data carries fair use limits: the Unlimited Visitor Plan is throttled after a daily allowance, extra data on Black plans is slowed, and RED roaming data or calls beyond their daily caps may be cut off.
- The add-ons are local prepaid products in Oman, so they suit a trip already under way rather than trips planned far from home.

Questions about each
M1
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.
Vodafone Oman
How much do Vodafone Oman visitor plans cost?+
Visitor add-ons start at OMR 2. Two families are published, Musafir and Worldwide, and both are sold in short, medium and long validity windows. The data allowance grows with the length of validity, so the longest window spreads the cost across the most data.
Is the data truly unlimited?+
Unlimited data is offered, and the fair use policy sets the limits: the Unlimited Visitor Plan is throttled after a daily allowance, extra data on Black plans is slowed right down, and RED roaming data or calls beyond their daily caps may be cut off.
