Usage of mobile phones in Singapore
While in Singapore or I’ll say any foreign country, try to get a local SIM. This will help you to save some money by not paying the roaming charges. Taking a local SIM card in Singapore and set it ready is an easy job. You just need to have money to buy one for you. Your mobile telephone and passport should also be with you.
Numerous Service Providers are there in Singapore. They offer more or less same facilities or same service but prices between carriers for the cost of calls and many such things do change. So, it is definitely up to you to decide which service you are going to avail or with which service you are most comfortable. To name some major Service Providers we can mention Singtel and M1. Also there are others but I wanted to minimize the choice options.
I have already said that all the services are almost identical. The new number you get with the SIM card is only valid for six months. You can be assure of one thing that next time you visit Singapore the number will still be the same. You pass it to others and start talking. But you have to add money to the card and this should be done once in the six months. From the date you add money to your SIM card and number, etc. the time starts and the card will be valid for next six months. So if you add money to the card in the fourth month then it will be valid for another six.
Singapore has gone one step further than other countries. You can top up in this new SIM card. Money can also be added to the card from overseas. It is advisable to also buy a top up card when you purchase your SIM card.

Taking a new mobile number while in Singapore
While in Singapore you can take a new number because it will save your money a lot. You have to take points in your mind. Some of them can be mentioned as you have to carefully check the validity of the top up card. You need to make it sure that the card has longest possible validity dates. In this way you won’t loose the card soon.
Some of the other facilities are there which can also be enjoyed after taking the new SIM card in Singapore. These are listed as Roaming facility, Voice Mail, International as well of course domestic dialing, SMS, Caller ID, WAP access, Call Waiting, Call transfer, Free Emergency Numbers, and Call Barring. Don’t think that it cost much to you. The Top up value cards are available from around Sin$15. You will get it in numerous locations around Singapore.
Singlet and M1 are the two places where you will get new SIM for your mobile. Usually they offer good discounts and packages such as if you are taking a new connection you can get some small gift. Singtel is recommended as the service is better there. At Singtel local SMS cost Sin$ 0.10 while for global SMS costs Sin$ 0.20. M1 costs Sin$ 0.104 per SMS.
The reason of this difference in rates is mainly because of the competitive market. In a very short period of time the rates change. The companies have some special pack such as if you chat more than you SMS and vice versa with different rates. It depends on the style you prefer. It is important to carry the passport with you while you go to the shop for taking the SIM card. The ID or passport number will be used in case your phone is ever stolen or lost or if the SIM card breaks down. If any one of those things happens, there is a chance to transfer your existing number to a new SIM card. Afterwards the old SIM card will be disconnected by the service provider.

Tips for the visitors to use mobile while in Singapore
While in Singapore, you have to maintain some rules for using mobile and that’s for your good. Especially if you have come to Singapore on business trip you need to always stay connected. You can give the landline number of the hotel where you staying but that does not help much in case you are running from one meeting to another.
While in abroad you have two options regarding carrying a mobile number. One is to use your present SIM card, if your phone service provider has a roaming service. The other option is to buy a local pay SIM card and this will give you a local number. You can call at local rates and don’t have to pay roaming charges as well.
There are some disadvantages of having a number with roaming facility such as the major disadvantage is the high costs of calling people. It will also cost you if people call you. Let’s say for example that you are in Singapore on business tour. Your appointment at 12am has been postponed. So someone wants to tell you the time of the meeting. In order to do that he would have to call your number internationally. Now if you are from the UK, he would have to call the UK. This way he has to pay for that call and you would have to pay for the part of the call from the UK to Singapore. This is a very messy thing I must say. So, according to me it is better to take a local number so that you can cut your cost to some extent.
Buying a local number i.e. going for a SIM card is the easiest and cheapest option. So, in this case if your appointments are being cancelled, the concerned person can call you at local number and you also don’t need to pay the extra roaming charges.
