But for those who are looking to get a Galaxy S24 phone from a local telco, here’s what you can expect. Note that the pre-order period for M1 and StarHub end on 30 January 2024 while Singtel's ends on 31 January 2024.

What the contract terms mean

In Singapore, when buying a smartphone from a telco you can do so usually in one of two types:

  • With a smartphone under a two-year contract where the telco provides connectivity and data.
  • You pay monthly for a SIM card for connectivity and data from the telco while using your own smartphone.

Usually, by the end of the two-year contract, you would've paid more than the phone's recommended retail price, with the extra outlay typically treated as the payment for your phone bill. Signing up for a SIM-only plan usually has the benefit of being able to unsubscribe whenever you like without any penalty. However, with the telco's now offering smartphones under their SIM-only plans, they are also locking customers in for 12, 18, 24, and even 36 months.

M1's SIM-only plans are known as Bespoke Flexi plans and allow a customer to buy a Galaxy S24 series smartphone over 12, 18, 24, and 36 monthly repayments. However, the monthly repayment amount changes according to the value of the downpayment involved, ranging from nothing up to S$150. 

Bespoke Flexi plans are great for people who need plenty of flexibility on their phone plan, minus most of the restrictions you get from a typical contract plan. Its key features include:

  • Choosing your phone's preferred upfront cost, starting from S$0
  • Choosing your preferred mobile data (5G included) and outgoing talktime minutes
  • Adjusting your preferred amounts for mobile data and talktime minutes anytime via the M1+ app, and paying the new monthly cost instead
  • Cancelling the Bespoke Flexi plan at any time

Do note that if you cancel the plan before your phone's monthly installments are done, you must pay for the rest of the phone in full.
