Scoot is currently running a very interesting promotion where if you purchase your flights on Scoot, youโll be eligible for a Flexiroam SIM sticker with 100MB of data access loaded inside. You can find out more details of this promotion here.
Whatโs Flexiroam?
How it works is youโll receive a โstickerโ from Flexiroam which you affix to your SIM card which you currently have in your phone thatโs given by your local telco. Then, when youโre overseas, open the Flexiroam app where youโll be able to select the respective plans available for that country and youโll be data roaming without incurring the fees from your Telco.

As always, do your homework before flying off! Aaron has written an article recently about the various data roaming options that are available for us here in Singapore. Personally, I prefer to just purchase a SIM card in the country that Iโm heading to as itโs just so much more convenient and sometimes it might be cheaper too.
Free 100MB Data with Flexiroam x Scoot
Going back to the promotion, if you purchase your flight tickets on the Scoot website, youโll receive a promo code in your confirmation email which you can then use to redeem for yourself a Flexiroam Starter Pack bundled with 100MB of data for use when youโre roaming. Just remember to download the Flexiroam app else it wonโt work when youโre overseas.
While 100MB isnโt a lot of data especially if youโre the type who browses Instagram often (i.e myself), itโs sufficient to keep you connected to your various messaging apps and useful for searching up for places of interest in the country youโre at.
Hi, does anyone know how long it takes for the sim card delivery?
Hey WB. Itโll be processed by Flexiroam AFAIK. So you can refer to their FAQs. Iโve reached out to Scoot for confirmation as well

AND can anyone work out whether thatโs JUST Scoot flights ex Singapore? Iโm flying up to Sing. en route Europe, ex Gold Coast in time for Saturdayโs Masterclass โ yum! โ and later back into Singapore via Hong Kong. However, already given up getting straight answers from Scoot call centre re Plus Perks fare class, so not trying on this. Like WB, how long to get this sim matters. Seems like worth trying..thanks MLโฆbut canโt seem to find this stuff online so far.
Hey Annie, itโll be processed by Flexiroam. And they do deliver to Australia! You can check out their FAQ here. Iโve reached out to Scoot as well to check.

Thanks Matthew. For info to all MLers: Yup, itโs free for 100mb, but shipping, to the UK at least, where Iโll be by the time it arrives, is AUD $13.50. Gulp! Maybe itโs way less to elsewhere, but thatโs a pass for me, compared to other paid options.
