Simnity vs Jio roaming for a Singapore trip
| Trip | Jio international roaming pack | Simnity Singapore eSIM (data only) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 7 days | ₹599: 1 GB data, 7 days | ₹380: 1 GB, 7 days |
| 1 week, heavy use | ₹2,999: 5 GB data, 7 days | ₹1,330: 5 GB, 7 days or ₹950: 5 GB, 30 days |
| 10 days, with calls | ₹951: 4 GB + 200 min + 25 SMS, 10 days | ₹950: 5 GB, 30 days |
| 30 days | ₹2,851: 12 GB + 300 min + 100 SMS, 30 days | ₹1,520: 10 GB, 30 days or ₹2,185: 20 GB, 30 days |
Without a pack, Jio charges ₹0.02 per 10 KB (about ₹2 per MB) for data in Singapore.
The honest answer: Pick a Jio pack if you need lots of calling minutes. For data, the eSIM gives you more for less.

What is a Singapore eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of swapping a plastic card, you scan a QR code and a Singapore data plan is added to your device. On supported dual-SIM devices, you may keep your home line enabled while selecting the Simnity line for mobile data. Your home carrier may still charge for calls, texts or roaming, so check its settings and terms.

Singapore eSIM FAQs
Can I pay with UPI in Singapore?
UPI is linked with Singapore's PayNow for bank transfers between participating banks (launched February 2023, MAS). UPI QR payments at Singapore merchants were announced in September 2026 with FOMO Pay, starting with the Resorts World Sentosa website, so do not count on UPI at shops yet.
