Question 1

What is, and how does eSIM Singapore work?

Accepted Answer

An eSIM is a built-in or embedded SIM profile that lets you download a mobile plan digitally. With eSIM for Singapore, you purchase a plan online, receive a QR code, scan it, and your service activates instantly. With SimCorner, you can also set an advanced activation date on select options. No physical SIM card or delivery delays—just quick setup and seamless access to Singapore’s top networks.

Question 2

Is eSIM available in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Yes, eSIM is widely available in Singapore through major providers and travel SIM specialists. Tourists can easily buy prepaid eSIM Singapore plans online from SimCorner and activate them instantly via QR code. Most newer iPhone and Android devices support eSIM alongside traditional SIM cards. However, ensure your eSIM compatibility with the EID number before purchase.

Question 3

How to get an eSIM for Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Getting an eSIM for Singapore is simple. Choose a trusted provider like SimCorner, select a Singapore eSIM prepaid plan that suits you the best, complete your purchase, and receive your QR code by email. Then scan the code on your phone to register the profile. Once you land, turn on your data roaming and mobile data—you will be connected within minutes. Ensure that your mobile data is on your SimCorner eSIM only. Your home provider may otherwise charge you for roaming.

Question 4

Is SimCorner eSIM Singapore cheaper than buying a SIM at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes—SimCorner eSIM prepaid plan costs less than buying a physical SIM at airport kiosks. Airport SIMs can carry tourist markups, while SimCorner providers offer transparent pricing, instant email delivery, and no hidden charges. Plus, you avoid queues and hassles. For travellers, it’s the cheapest eSIM Singapore option with maximum convenience.

Question 5

Can I get a Singapore travel eSIM before I arrive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. You can buy and set up your Singapore eSIM before leaving your home country. Once you receive the QR code within 5-10 minutes of your purchase from SimCorner, follow the given steps and install the profile on your phone. You may activate it manually or schedule activation for your landing day, so your eSIM is ready the moment you arrive at your destination.

Question 6

How do I activate my Singapore tourist eSIM once purchased?

Accepted Answer

SimCorner emails a detailed step-by-step guide on how to activate your eSIM Singapore, along with your eSIM activation QR code. To brief it—Go to your phone’s mobile data settings, select “Add eSIM”, scan the code, and create your profile. Once you land, activate your eSIM, turn on data roaming, and you will instantly be connected to the top local networks.

Question 7

What if my device asks for APN settings after eSIM SG activation?

Accepted Answer

Some devices may require manual APN input. Go to Settings → Mobile Data → Access Point Names (APN) and enter the details provided by SimCorner via email. This ensures your Singapore tourist eSIM connects properly to the internet. Usually, APN updates happen automatically, but entering them manually resolves most connection issues.

Question 8

Can I pause my eSIM Singapore travel plan after activation?

Accepted Answer

No—once activated, your Singapore eSIM prepaid plan validity runs continuously until it expires. You cannot pause or freeze unused days. To maximise usage, install your eSIM profile in advance but only activate it when you truly need service. That way, you don’t lose validity during non-usage days.

Question 9

Can I use WhatsApp with a Singapore eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Yes, WhatsApp works perfectly with your Singapore prepaid eSIM. Since WhatsApp is tied to your existing home phone number, you won’t lose chats or contacts. The SimCorner SG eSIM provides mobile data only. It has no separate phone number. You can simply call, message, and video chat over WhatsApp without extra roaming fees, even while travelling abroad.

Question 10

Which eSIM is best for Singapore tourists?

Accepted Answer

SimCorner eSIM is the best for Singapore tourists due to its affordable rates, versatile plan options, and transparent data and payment policies. When you buy from SimCorner, you know upfront, pre-purchase, exactly what you are getting—there are no hidden caveats or conditions.

What makes it better are its 5% price-beat guarantee and 30-day price-lock policy. If you see the same SIM for a lower price, even on a sale, purchase it from SimCorner for 5% less. If the price drops within 30 days after your purchase, get the difference refunded.

Question 11

What happens if I exceed my eSIM SG data limit?

Accepted Answer

One thing is for sure—you won’t be charged with even an unexpected cent.

When your data runs low, you can quickly purchase a new plan from SimCorner and get your Singapore eSIM back online. However, once you truly exhaust your data, you must connect to a local Wi-Fi to buy a new plan. To avoid such situations, we recommend choosing a plan that matches your expected browsing needs.

Question 12

Can I use hotspot or tethering with my eSIM Singapore travel plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all our Singapore eSIM travel plans allow hotspot/tethering, so you can share your connection with laptops, tablets, or friends. This feature is useful for business travellers, just as it is for family and group travel. However, always confirm the hotspot limits before purchase. SimCorner eSIM SG does not limit hotspot use.

Question 13

Will my Singapore eSIM work everywhere in the country?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your eSIM for Singapore will connect nationwide, covering urban, suburban, and most rural areas. Major networks in the country provide near-total coverage. Whether you are in Marina Bay, Sentosa Islands, or Pulau Ubin, you will stay online with fast, reliable mobile data. However, some inconsistencies are to be expected in remote areas, as even top local partners may face a bit weaker coverage there.

Question 14

How fast is data with eSIM Singapore – 4G or 5G?

Accepted Answer

Both SimCorner eSIM Singapore plans offer high-speed 4G LTE, and many now include 5G access in urban areas. If your device supports 5G, you will enjoy ultra-fast browsing and streaming in central districts. In less dense areas, 4G remains stable for maps, calls, and everyday use.

Question 15

Can I roam to nearby countries with my Singapore eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Singapore Data eSIM (20GB | 31 Days) plan allows you to roam freely in multiple countries, while Singapore Data eSIM (1GB–50GB | 7–45 Days) plans will work only in Singapore. If you plan to visit Malaysia or other Asian countries, it is best to go with SimCorner Asia eSIM. This allows seamless cross-border connectivity access without swapping SIM cards or paying roaming fees.

Question 16

Is eSIM Singapore reliable for business travellers?

Accepted Answer

Yes—our eSIM Singapore prepaid plan offers stable connections on top local carriers, ensuring smooth video calls, email access, and hotspot sharing. Business travellers prefer eSIM travel options because they remove roaming risks and deliver consistent coverage in urban centres like Marina Bay and Orchard Road.

Question 17

Can I use my existing phone with a Singapore eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use your existing phone with a Singapore travel eSIM if it is eSIM-compatible and unlocked. Most modern smartphones—including iPhones XS and later, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and recent models—support eSIM Singapore by SimCorner. Some tablets and smartwatches also support eSIM. To confirm, check your phone settings for an EID number or search up your model for eSIM compatibility.

If your phone doesn’t support eSIM technology, you can still order a physical SIM for Singapore from SimCorner in advance.

Question 18

Does the phone need to be unlocked to install eSIM for Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your device must be unlocked to install a Singapore eSIM, even if it is eSIM compatible. A carrier-locked phone won’t allow third-party eSIM activation. You simply have to contact your carrier to unlock your device before travel. This ensures you can use any eSIM SG tourist prepaid plan without restrictions.

Question 19

How to check my EID number to know if my Android supports eSIM Singapore?

Accepted Answer

On Android, go to Settings → About Phone → SIM or Network, then look for “eSIM” or “EID.” If present, your phone supports embedded SIMs. You can also cross-check with your phone’s manual or Google it to confirm compatibility with eSIM Singapore travel plans.

Question 20

What should I do if my device doesn’t have an EID?

Accepted Answer

If your device doesn’t have an EID code, it means you won’t be able to use any eSIM, be it from SimCorner or any other provider. In such cases, you can simply use a physical SIM card for your Singapore travel. SimCorner provides both Singapore tourist eSIM and SIM card options so every traveller stays connected. We currently home deliver SIM cards in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK, and Canada.
