StarHub strikes out data roaming fees for travellers to Malaysia

Surf the net without extra costs.

StarHub today revealed a cross-border initiative that will remove data roaming costs for prepaid subscribers travelling to Malaysia.

Under the initiative, subscribers can now use their existing prepaid data bundle across the border with no additional fee for activation or subscription.

The service also does away with the need to manually select a partner network to enable roaming services.

“We believe our offering is relevant for the tens of thousands who travel between Singapore and Malaysia daily,” said Tian Ung Ping, Assistant Vice President of Mobile Prepaid Business, StarHub.

To enable data roaming, subscribers need to dial *123*5*2# to open their existing prepaid data bundle for overseas use.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
