StarHub is the first telco in Singapore to eliminate data roaming charges for travel in Malaysia. When crossing into Malaysia, StarHub Happy Prepaid customers can seamlessly use their existing prepaid data bundle, at Singapore data prices, with no additional fee for activation or subscription.

As a feature unique to StarHub, these customers can data roam on any mobile network in Malaysia without the hassle of manually selecting a partner network.

“We are excited to launch our new cross border service, offering our prepaid customers unparallelled convenience and complete peace-of-mind while data roaming in Malaysia,” said Tian Ung Ping, Assistant Vice President of Mobile Prepaid Business, StarHub. “More and more of our prepaid customers are relying on their smartphones primarily for getting online, and we believe our innovative data roaming offering is relevant for the tens of thousands who travel between Singapore and Malaysia daily.”

Data bundle topups, for use in both Singapore and Malaysia, range from as low as S$1 for 10MB for seven days to S$20 for 1.2GB for 30 days.

The StarHub Happy Prepaid SIM is available at all StarHub Shops and selected authorised dealers, including 7-Eleven, Cheers, SingPost post offices and at slimduet.
