1. What is GOMO Mobile Plan?

• Option to buy a S$10 top up called, "Roaming Data Pump", which allows you the option to add 1GB roaming data across 10 days*

*Note - It does not have any roaming credit by default, so for S$10 you can add 1GB roaming data across 10 days.  You also need to be a GOMO Mobile Plan customer if you want to enjoy this pricing.If you are not a customer, this is when the GOMO Travel Sim the option for you.

Setting up on GOMO mobile plan Singapore

I recently signed up for GOMO mobile plan and have so far found the sign up process easy and straightforward.

The management of most of your GOMO plan is via the GOMO mobile app where you can clearly see how much data you currently have, talktime and SMS. Along with this, I have the option to purchase roaming data for when I need it.

I love the update via SMSes that I received along the sign up process.

It was always quite clear when and how my number will be activated, as I was porting my number from Starhub to Gomo (Singtel). Here is a screenshot from my phone below of the updates.

I also tested my WirelessSGx if it is working with the GOMO mobile sim card. I can confirm that it is working for me during my tests at MRT stations in Singapore, no issues there.

This is as I have my WirelessSGx set to read authentication off my sim card. In technical terms, it is using the direct EAP-SIM configuration for Wireless@SGx wifi access.

If you need help with this, you can manually configure your device to connect to Wireless@SGx by following these steps:

1)      Select Wireless@SGx in your Wi-Fi menu
2)      Select “SIM” under “EAP Method”
3)      Press “Connect”

Thereafter, your device will automatically connect to Wireless@SGx networks at all Wireless@SG hotspots.
