What You Get and What You Don't
When you buy from Alt eSIM, you get a travel eSIM that roams onto StarHub's network in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. This means you can use data on StarHub's network without needing a physical SIM card. However, we are not StarHub and do not sell their own products. We offer our own eSIM plans that utilize StarHub's infrastructure in these regions. If you are looking for StarHub's direct offerings, you should look elsewhere. Our plans provide data roaming, but we do not guarantee specific speeds or coverage beyond what StarHub provides in these areas.
Applicable Destinations
Our StarHub eSIM plans are applicable in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Specifically, when you travel to 新加坡, 新加坡+馬來西亞+泰國, you can use our eSIM to access data on StarHub's network. This is perfect for travelers who are visiting these countries and want a reliable way to stay connected. Whether you're exploring the bustling streets of Singapore, the cultural sites in Malaysia, or the beautiful beaches in Thailand, our eSIM ensures you have data access. However, remember that this eSIM will only work in these specific destinations and not outside of them.
Choosing the Right Plan Shape
When selecting a plan, you have two options: daily plans or total data tiers. Daily plans work out from US$0.69 per day and offer daily allowance tiers of 1GB, 2GB, or 3GB. This is ideal for travelers who want flexibility and don't want to commit to a large amount of data upfront. On the other hand, total data tiers range from 1GB to 50GB and are perfect for those who prefer to have a set amount of data for their entire trip. This way, you can choose a plan that best fits your travel needs and budget. Remember, the cheapest plan across these destinations is US$1.69, which is a great option for short trips.
Getting Connected
To get connected, simply scan the QR code provided with your eSIM purchase. This will activate the eSIM on your device and connect you to StarHub's network. The process is straightforward and takes only a few minutes. Once connected, you can start using data immediately. It's important to note that you need a compatible device that supports eSIM technology. Most modern smartphones and tablets do, but it's always good to check beforehand. If you encounter any issues, our customer support is available to assist you.
When the Allowance Runs Out
Once your data allowance runs out, your speed will drop to 128 or 384 kbps. This speed is still usable for basic tasks like browsing, checking emails, and messaging. However, it may not be sufficient for streaming, video calls, or downloading large files. This is a precaution to ensure that you stay connected even after exceeding your data limit. If you need more data, you can always purchase an additional plan. It's a good idea to monitor your data usage to avoid any unexpected slowdowns. Remember, the slower speed is a temporary measure and can be resolved by adding more data.
