Singtel senior plans: Phone Plans

Phone Plans come with all the basics like local data, talktime, and SMSes. 

 

But that's not all – depending on which Phone Plan you get, it may also come with extra perks such as loyalty vouchers.

 

In total, Singtel offers 6 Phone Plans: XS, S, M, L, Pro and Fam. 

 

Correspondingly, there are 5 Senior Phone Plans: Seniors Go Digital XS, Seniors Go Digital S, Seniors Go Digital M, Seniors Go Digital L, and Seniors Go Digital Pro.

 

Each Senior Phone Plan is 20% cheaper as compared to the corresponding Phone Plan (so for example, the Seniors Go Digital M plan is 20% cheaper than the M Phone Plan).

 

Here are the details and prices of each plan:

Your parents will definitely get their money's worth with these senior-only mobile plans!

Singtel senior plans: SIM Only Plus plans

If your parents don’t want to get a new phone, you can always get a SIM Only Plus plan.  

 

This way, they just need to swap out the SIM card while keeping their phone. 

 

Currently, there is 1 SIM Only Plus plan available.

 

That’s the Seniors Go Digital SIM Only Plus Plan ($20.38 per month), which gives you: 

 

20GB local data  
350 mins talktime 
500 SMSes
 

Note that this is a 4G plan (in contrast to the Phone Plans, which are 5G plans).

Singtel senior plans: Prepaid plans

Phone Plans and SIM Only Plus plans aside, you can also get a seniors-only prepaid plan. 

 

This is the Seniors Go Digital Prepaid Handset Bundle, and it includes:

 

Samsung Galaxy M21 phone – this is a simple smartphone that’s easy for seniors to use
Free SIM card with $10 value 
Free 5GB upfront data
Free 240GB over 12 months
Free 30-day insurance by Income
Data-free WhatsApp messaging 

 

With data-free WhatsApp messaging, your parents can chat on WhatsApp without worrying about using up their data. 

 

It's a great deal – and something that isn’t commonly included when you sign up for a mobile plan! 

 

Singtel senior plans: Subsidised plans

As part of IMDA’s Mobile Access for Seniors Programme, Singtel also offers a highly subsidised $5.10 mobile plan and phones from $20.

 

Note that this plan is only applicable to current beneficiaries of selected government assistance schemes – more on the eligibility criteria here.

Which senior plan should you get for your parents?

 

Whew, we went through a lot of plans there. 

 

But how can you be sure which one is right for your parents? 

 

We've got a couple of recommendations that will make your decision a whole lot easier. 

If your parents like to chat...

If your folks love to talk and chat with their friends and grandchildren, get a plan with a lot of talktime – we recommend the Seniors Go Digital S Phone Plan.  

 

It's got a whopping 10,000 minutes of talktime, which will be more than sufficient for most folks.

If your parents are plugged in...

If your parents are always on social media or watching YouTube on their phones, get them a plan with a good amount of data and 5G access. 

 

Again, we recommend the Seniors Go Digital S Phone Plan, which comes with 100GB data.

 

This Phone Plan also comes with 3 months free subscription to McAfee Security, which is an app that helps you keep your phone secure.

 

PS: The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) specifically recommends McAfee Security in its list of recommended antivirus apps for mobile devices - so you know it’s legit!

If you’re looking for something affordable...

If your parents are the thrifty sort, and always go for the most affordable deal, go for the Seniors Go Digital SIM Only Plan, which costs just $20.38 per month.

A final word on choosing a mobile plan for seniors

There are many mobile plans made just for seniors. 

 

These plans are all about meeting their needs, whether it's keeping in touch with loved ones or just surfing the net. 

 

They also come with affordable rates and awesome senior-friendly add-ons too.

 

So go ahead, choose a seniors-only mobile plan that fits your parents' needs.
