Ubigi is a travel eSIM run by Transatel, an established telecoms operator. For Singaporean travellers it stands out in one practical way: it supports eSIM-capable laptops and tablets well, so if you travel with a connected iPad or laptop, Ubigi can cover more than just your phone.

Pros & cons

What’s good

  • Backed by an established telecoms operator (Transatel).
  • Good device support — works well on eSIM laptops and tablets, not just phones.
  • Competitive per-GB pricing on larger plans.

Worth noting

  • Data-only — no local phone number.
  • App and buying flow are less polished than Airalo's.
  • Branding is less consumer-focused than newer rivals.

Our verdict

Ubigi is a solid, operator-backed choice — especially if you want data on a laptop or tablet as well as your phone. For the smoothest consumer app experience, Airalo or Saily feel more modern.
