StarHub debuts soft SIM service for tourists
StarHub has joined the slimduet alliance initiated by Taisys Technologies, and will now offer slimduet pre-paid services using the over-the-air download platform.
The operator will offer a $14 pre-paid package that includes $18 worth of talktime and SMS credit, as well as 100GB of local data for five days.
Customers can activate the services at Changi Airport, and will subsequently be able to purchase additional voice and data plans by dialing a number on their phones.
Taisys' slimduet service is also available in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the US and the UK via similar partnerships with local operators.

“Our partnership with StarHub in Singapore is another significant milestone for soft SIM service deployment in the mobile society,” Taisys chairman Jason Ho commented.
“The distribution of slimduet soft SIM strictly complies with government regulations applicable where we provide service. We welcome operators from all regions to join slimduet to offer telecommunications service without boundaries.”
