Singapore National Day telco deals & mobile offers

Note that these are all 24-month plans and they come with:

The rest of Singtel’s SG61 promotions include:

StarHub’s campaign says “A thank you to those who built our nation”. This is aimed exclusively at customers aged 60 and above, and applies to new and existing subscribers alike.

StarHub is offering up to S$480 extra off a device, stacked on top of existing promotions, on 5G Unlimited+ Max, 5G Platinum or 5G Platinum Elite plans. But you need to read it carefully, as S$480 is the exception rather than the rule. Of the six offers on the page:

All plans include :

Two catches. This is in-store only, so there is no online path, and it is one redemption per customer. Existing customers qualify only if they are on a two-year contract device plan or a Mobile+ SIM-only plan.

“Celebrate SG61. Celebrate Bigger Savings,” says the MyRepublic homepage, and gives you a plan that costs just S$6.00 a month. For this amount, you get:

At S$6.00, you know there has to be a catch. And it’s that this plan is only 4G-enabled. This in itself is interesting, as MyRepublic just announced that it is moving all its 4G subscribers onto StarHub’s network, having run them on M1’s since 2020. Anyone signing up through this National Day banner is joining a service that is mid-migration between two competing networks.

M1 has no National Day promotions on its homepage. Instead, it is focusing on its own recent promotions and the Samsung offers it has around the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra and Flip8.

Vivifi’s SG61 offer on its homepage offers its Vibe 5G+ plan for S$10.61. This includes: 

Strangely though, this is no different from what the plan would be when not celebrating Singapore’s National Day.

For an MVNO most closely associated with China Mobile, CMLink has two SG61 offers. The first is a simple S$6.00 rebate to 61 CMLink subscribers. The second is 50% off for six months along with free international roaming across 198 countries if you port into its S$10.10 or S$15.00 plans. Note that the S$10.10 plan only has three months of 5G access, following which you will need to pay an additional S$5.00 a month to continue with it. 

How to find the best mobile offers for Singapore’s 61st National Day

If you are porting in anyway and will be out between 7 and 10 August, Singtel is the obvious answer. The free TV alone is worth more than most people’s annual plan discount, and it stacks with a S$0 flagship and 10 percent off the monthly bill. Four days is tight, so decide before the weekend.

If you are buying for a parent or grandparent, StarHub’s S$480 is the largest single discount on the board, but only on the OPPO Find N6. On most other handsets, it is S$240, which Singtel’s port-in savings comfortably beat. Singtel is also running three free months on its S$12 seniors plan. So do your sums carefully.

Some of the promotions are just rebranding of existing plans or come with caveats like only 4G speeds. 

A lot of what carries National Day branding this year is accessories priced at S$61 rather than genuine price cuts, and the same pattern shows up across Singapore retail more broadly. To grab a real bargain, you need to give everything a second look.
