Let’s face it — swapping SIM cards at the airport is a pre-pandemic pain we thought we left behind. Fiddling with paper clips to eject trays, misplacing tiny chips, or worse, realising your telco shop back home is closed for the day. Enter M1’s new Maxx eSIM — a digital travel companion that gets you connected in under two minutes, no paper clip needed.
Singapore’s very first digital network operator has just made its Maxx SIM-Only plans even more traveller-friendly by going eSIM. And yes, this means you can activate your mobile plan instantly, wherever you are. Whether you’re planning a quick getaway to Bangkok or a work trip to Tokyo, the entire sign-up and activation process is now as seamless as checking in online for your flight.
What’s smart about M1 Maxx eSIM is that it caters to modern mobile behaviour. You can store multiple eSIM profiles on one device, making it easy to switch between phone numbers, carriers, or data plans without the usual SIM swapping drama. Ideal if you’re someone who toggles between countries, jobs, or lifestyles.
And then there’s the value. At just S$7.90 a month for the first 12 cycles, Maxx eSIM comes stacked with serious data — 290GB in Singapore and Malaysia, plus roaming data across hotspots like Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan. You also get a healthy chunk of international roaming data covering 20+ countries including the US, UK, and Australia. For a no-contract plan, it punches well above its weight.
Roaming benefits aside, the Maxx eSIM still gives you 500 local call minutes, 99 SMSes (if you still use those), and unlimited incoming calls. No hidden fees, no extra charges for choosing digital over physical — just a modern telco plan built for people who move fast and travel light.
If you’re ready to ditch the airport SIM kiosk for good, you can pick up your Maxx eSIM online at maxx.sg or visit any Maxx Authorised Retailer. It’s available now, no need to queue, and you won’t need a paperclip in your carry-on ever again.
