Hi, I am travelling to Singapore in next month and I need to buy phone card to contact nationally and internationally while Im there.
So Im just wondering that anyone could please provide the SIM that have the cheapest call/text rate especially domestically. also where Can i buy it ? at the airport?
And any good place to stay for about a month in singapore ? I looked arounnd some hostels over internet but did not feel safe to stay there as I would be alone by myself. and they also did not reply my inqueries, bad, huh..
so I am guessing that is there any hostel like religious one ? like buddhist or Christian temples available with the some room for guests. anywhere renting out ?
Thank you for your input in advance.

There are only three mobile phone (SIM card) providers in Singapore, and you can easily compare their rates and offers from their webpages:
Singtel, M1, Starhub
Singapore is safer than almost anywhere else, so that should not be a concern when selecting a place to stay. The only "religious" hostel I know of is the YMCA - it costs a bit more, but is very central!

www.gothere.sg gives all bus/train connections and ticket prices.
There are no day tickets. Just buy a pre-paid EZ-Link card with eough value on it and tap it on the reader both when entering and when exiting the train station or bus - fares are deducted automatically.
The system is very efficient and quite cheap.
