Frequently Asked Questions

ChangiWiFi is a personal wireless modem that connects any Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the internet with a secure network connection. Think of the Wi-Fi you have at home, just smaller in a pocket size version.

You can connect your laptop, tablet and (or) mobile phone to the Internet while you are travelling overseas, anytime anywhere. Saving you from costly data roaming, Wi-Fi hunting and loads of prepaid SIM card credits.

ChangiWiFi is pre-configured and does not require any complex installation.

Get yourself connected to the internet on the go. Think about:

• Staying in touch with your friends and family back home through text messaging and calls with WhatsApp® or Line®
• Navigate and find your way around a foreign place with Google Maps®
• Check your emails (especially if you are a business traveller)
• Share your travel adventures on social media channels!
• Find useful information for your trips. (E.g. attractions & museums opening hours, public trains and buses locations etc.)
• And more...

• 24 hours convenience of collecting and returning in Singapore Changi Airport. Means you can pick up before checking in your flight, get connected when you land and return when you arrive back to Singapore. Easy huh?
• Enjoy internet connection wherever you want. No more Wi-Fi hunting or depend on weak Wi-Fi in your hotel. Say goodbye to expensive roaming bills.
• No obligations during your reservation process, as you pay for the rent when you return. Surf the web on the go and keep your mind at ease with no hidden data fees.
• You can share the connection with up to 5 mobile devices (depending on the model of the router and country you are renting for). So, share Wi-Fi with your travel partners and go on an adventure!

Overseas Travel Wi-Fi routers are pre-configured by our dedicated operations team. You are unable to insert your own SIM card into the router, due to local data policies by the country’s local ISP to prevent abuse. That’s the beauty of the rent service – no installation, no configuration needed, just convenient and simple to use.

There are the charging cables, universal charger, and user manual to guide you on using the router and of course, the router itself!
