Besides being one of the 3 major telcos, StarHub has won many awards and made many advancements to the telecommunications space. In this article, we’ll be focusing on their incredible data add-ons.
In 2017, StarHub launched an offer for new mobile plans – free unlimited data on weekends! The unlimited weekend plan was a hit, and has been one of Singapore’s most popular data plans to date. Prices for the plan started from as little as $48/ month for 3GB local data bundles on a two-year contract which came with a mobile device, at that time a deal at an incredible price!
Today, things have changed and the Unlimited Weekend is a data add-on option for #hellochange mobile plans. Customers can activate the $6 unlimited weekend data pass to enjoy an additional 10GB local data on weekends. It’s easy for existing StarHub customers to subscribe to the Unlimited Weekend data mobile add-on. They can activate it through the My StarHub app or through Starhub’s online portal. Before we dive into all the other value-added services offered by StarHub, let’s see what mobile plans act as a base for these add-ons.
A traditional 2-year postpaid plan from StarHub starts from $65/ month and comes with 30GB local data and 200 SMS. It can go up to $155/ month for 120GB of local data. As an added bonus, these 3 Mobile+ plans all come with a 1-month free Antstream subscription, and gives you access to the 5G network in Singapore. Want to know more about the Mobile+ plans?

Next is the 4G SIM-only plan. Starting from $25/ month, you’ll get unlimited talktime, 1,000 SMS, free incoming calls and free international roaming.
As mentioned, you can now subscribe to StarHub’s unlimited weekend pass that lets you surf the net on Saturdays and Sundays without any worry.
There’s no doubt that StarHub’s unlimited data add-on is a hit with customers who are heavy users of data. For more information on how to subscribe to this service, you can refer to StarHub’s Green Community page.
As a StarHub customer, you will be able to surf the internet, stream to your heart’s content and browse social media platforms from 12 am on Saturday up to 11:59 pm the next day on Sunday without paying a single cent.
On all the weekdays, StarHub customers will be charged for their internet usage. To enjoy just as much data on weekdays, customers can leverage other data add-ons made available by the telco.
Unlike the weekend data add-on, the standard Data add-on gives you 10GB of data for $10 and 50GB of data for $20. You can subscribe to either of these on the MyStarHub app.
The first telco in Singapore to introduce the FamilyConnect service, you can pair up to 6 of your family members’ Apple watches to your iPhone for just $8/ month. From emergency SOS to content restriction capabilities, you’ll know what each of your family members is doing.
From SMS add-ons to mobile email services, connect to the world with any of StarHub’s messaging services! Their SMS add-on offers an additional 500 or 1,000 SMS-es with a top-up of $5 or $10/ month respectively. For Blackberry users, there is the Blackberry plan, which allows you to send emails anytime, anywhere – even when overseas.
StarHub also has the SmartBuddy Plan and TriSIM. The former is for the hearing and visually impaired while the latter is for those who need to switch between multiple SIM cards.
