Travel eSIMs
Best for heavy dataHolafly
Travel eSIM specialising in unlimited-data plans.
By Marcus Tan·Verified
The verdict
Holafly is worth the premium if you are a heavy data user who would otherwise keep topping up. Light users on short trips will almost always pay less with a per-GB plan from Airalo or Nomad.
What’s good
- Unlimited-data plans remove any worry about running out mid-trip.
- Good fit for heavy users — streaming, hotspotting, video calls.
- Wide country coverage.
Worth noting
- More expensive than per-GB rivals for light data users.
- Unlimited plans are subject to fair-use speed throttling after a daily threshold.
- Data-only — no local phone number on most plans.

Pricing notes. Holafly prices in US dollars, and it sits at the premium end. Plans are fixed-duration unlimited data rather than per-GB: a short 5-day unlimited plan is roughly US$19 (about S$25), with longer durations and an unlimited monthly plan costing proportionally more.
GST. Digital eSIM plans sold to Singapore consumers have 9% GST included in the displayed price.
About Holafly
Holafly takes a different approach from most travel eSIMs: instead of selling data by the gigabyte, it mostly sells unlimited-data plans for a fixed number of days. For Singaporean travellers who stream, hotspot or video-call heavily on the road, that removes the anxiety of watching a data counter — at a higher price.
