What travellers say

It was amazing experience for my family. The prices on pelago were competitive and we got a good deal too.

So simple and seamless. And a great bargain price. Zero issues. So happy I was able to find Pelago.

After purchasing the Best 5G/4G Singapore SIM card, my trip to Singapore became much more convenient. This prepaid SIM card is highly suitable for tourists like me. According to the instructions, I could easily collect it at Changi Airport, eliminating worries about communication issues upon arriving in a new place. Moreover, the staff at the pickup point helped with the activation, making the process quick and hassle-free; once the card was inserted, my phone was immediately connected to the internet seamlessly. Whether in bustling urban areas or tranquil scenic spots, the signal remained stable, allowing me to upload photos and share travel moments without any trouble. In summary, this experience was fantastic, and I strongly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Singapore.
