Changi Mobile pushes out two new travel plans with both local and overseas data
Changi Mobile is ready to meet the reinvigorated needs of leisure travellers, with the MVNO touting two new travel-related mobile data plans and a refreshed local range.
The M1-backed virtual telco now has Flexi Travel and Flexi Travel+, which combine roaming data allotment with local data allotment into a single plan. Its existing local plans, Flexi Ultimate, Flexi Freedom, and Flexi Value+ also saw a revamp to their offerings.
Flexi Travel and Flexi Travel+, with 1GB roaming data included
Flexi Travel and Flexi Travel+ are targeted at frequent travellers who don’t need massive data amounts for short trips, or value the convenience of having a perpetually available roaming data plan within reach. It also offers some flexibility, since users can purchase additional roaming data via add-ons to supplement their needs for longer trips out of Singapore.
Subscribers to both travel plans can also get free rollover all of their data, talktime, and SMSes to the following month if unused. The rollover typically costs S$1/month, and its FAQ said that the carryover is limited to one month (so you can’t tap into unused data bundles from two months ago, or more).
The main difference between Flexi Travel and Flexi Travel+ plans are the territories covered for roaming data. Below’s a quick-and-easy table for reference.
| Flexi Travel | Flexi Travel+ | |
|---|---|---|
| SGD per month | S$20/month | S$25/month |
| Roaming data allotment | 1GB | |
| Local data allotment | 100GB | |
| Local talktime | 1,000 minutes | |
| Local SMSes | 500 | |
| Additional features | Free Rollover (Data, talktime, SMS) Optional, additional roaming data via add-ons Free Incoming Calls Free Incoming SMSes Free Caller ID Free Port in (prepaid and postpaid numbers OK) No activation fee No contract |

Refreshed local offerings with Changi Mobile
Changi Mobile’s base plans see a price refresh, and an upsize for its value-for-money plan.
Flexi Ultimate, with its 100GB data, 1,000 talktime, and 500 SMSes with complimentary rollover is now at S$17.50 per month.
Flexi Freedom, a new plan with “unlimited” data (25GB + unlimited streaming speed data) and 200 SMSes is S$15 per month. It’s now going at a promo price of S$12 per month for the first 12 months if you use the 3FREEDOM12 promo code. While the plan doesn’t mention any talktime allotment, it still has free incoming calls and free caller ID.
Flexi Value+, its money-for-value plan, now offers 20GB of local data, 300 minutes talktime, and 300 SMSes at S$10 per month. It also has free Plan Rollover.
Changi Mobile is a fairly new entrant to the MVNO market at just about a year old, but it has already gained a strong following based on our readers’ votes in Tech Awards 2022.
