Each of the four ReadyRoam plans comes with multi-destination coverage, giving you the ultimate flexibility and connectivity when you travel between territories.

For a daily flat rate, you will enjoy unlimited data for the day, subject to daily fair usage policy.
In order to provide customers with fast and reliable mobile data service, all DataRoam Unlimited Daily plans are subject to daily fair usage policy. If you exceed the daily fair usage, Singtel will impose a speed limit on data roaming services without prior notification. This speed limit will be reset at 00:00h the following day based on your destination time.
Please find the Fair Usage Policy under the Terms & Conditions for DataRoam Unlimited Daily here.
You may experience difficulty with heavy internet activities like streaming and downloads but you can still continue to surf websites, use Facebook, Twitter, etc.
During take-off or landing, a DataRoam Unlimited Daily Plan may be automatically activated due to low elevation of the aircraft, and strong signals from ground levels. To prevent this from happening, please turn on flight-mode on your phone during take-off and landing, and when the aircraft is near your destination.

Whether you are a frequent flyer or want peace of mind whenever you travel, AutoReadyRoam (ARR) saves you the hassle of manually activating a ReadyRoam plan each time you travel.
The moment you arrive at any of the 157 destinations, the most affordable ReadyRoam plan will be activated instantly for you.
To activate AutoReadyRoam, you only need to perform a one-time activation:
My Singtel app > Roaming Tab > Manage Roaming Add-ons > Settings (Gear icon, top right) > Turn ON Data Roaming (Network) > Auto-subscribe to ReadyRoam > Subscribe > Subscribe for Free
AutoReadyRoam is free but subscription fee of the activated ReadyRoam Plan applies.
AutoReadyRoam is a free setting and automatically activates the most appropriate tier of multi-destination ReadyRoam plan at applicable ReadyRoam subscription prices. You will no longer incur any Pay Per Use charge with our Network Lock feature so there will be no bill shocks.
Auto-subscribe DataRoam Unlimited Daily automatically activates a DataRoam Unlimited Daily Plan at applicable daily subscription prices when data usage is detected on our preferred networks.
If you travel to any destinations that is not covered by our ReadyRoam plans, the ReadyRoam Network Lock will be activated and your data roaming usage will be restricted if you are not subscribed to any Roaming plans. However, if you have subscribed to any other Roaming plans, your data roaming usage will be charged at the Pay-Per-Use rate of the destination.
If you have subscribed to any ReadyRoam plans manually via My Singtel app or 1688 hotline, your subscription will be successful and you will receive a confirmation SMS. Additional ReadyRoam plans for the same coverage will not be automatically activated via AutoReadyRoam when you start to use data roaming in the foreign destination.
For example, you have already subscribed to AutoReadyRoam and you manually activate a ReadyRoam Asia 4GB plan via My Singtel app before you leave Singapore. You will receive a confirmation SMS upon successful activation of your ReadyRoam Asia 4GB plan. When you use data roaming in any of the 18 destinations, you will not be auto-activated with another ReadyRoam plan via AutoReadyRoam. In your bill, you will only be charged with one ReadyRoam Asia 4GB plan at $18 and its related usage charges. If you enter a destination that is not covered under the ReadyRoam Asia 4GB plan, then another ReadyRoam plan of a higher tier will be auto-activated for you.
AutoReadyRoam will auto-activate the most affordable ReadyRoam plan when data usage is detected on a preferred operator network in any of the 157 destinations covered. A higher-tiered ReadyRoam plan is activated when you enter a destination which is not covered by the active ReadyRoam plan(s). If your current ReadyRoam plan covers the subsequent destination, there will be no new ReadyRoam plan and you will continue using your current plan.
For example:
a. If you travel to Australia first, ReadyRoam Asia 4GB will be automatically activated. If you travel to Indonesia within the next 30 days, no additional ReadyRoam plans will be auto-activated as both countries are covered under the ReadyRoam Asia 4GB plan.
b. If you travel to USA first, ReadyRoam Worldwide 6GB will be automatically activated. If you travel to Indonesia within the next 30 days, no additional ReadyRoam plans will be auto-activated as both countries are covered under the ReadyRoam Worldwide 6GB plan.
c. If you travel to Australia first, ReadyRoam Asia 4GB will be automatically activated. If you travel to USA next, ReadyRoam Worldwide 6GB will be automatically activated because ReadyRoam Asia 4GB does not cover USA. In your bill, you will be charged for both ReadyRoam Asia 4GB and Worldwide 6GB plans as well as their respective usage charges.
Your 30-day coverage for each ReadyRoam plan will commence from the day the plan is activated. For example: You travel to Australia on 5 Nov, followed by USA on 20 Nov. Australia activation for ReadyRoam Asia 4GB plan will be from 5 Nov to 4 Dec, and USA activation for ReadyRoam Worldwide 6GB will be from 20 Nov to 19 Dec.
Please note that you will not be able to subscribe to ReadyRoam plans if you have auto-subscribed to DataRoam Unlimited Daily. Please unsubscribe from the auto-subscription via My Singtel app.
