Expensive roaming fees often make travelers hesitant to use their phones abroad. Now, there’s a more cost-effective alternative when traveling to Singapore. Hong Kong-based Tink Labs will launch its handy Singapore mobile travel service in January 2013. From now until April 30, 2013, customers who purchase international flight tickets on TransAsia Airways’ official website will receive a handy smartphone rental coupon, offering two days of rental for the price of one. During this period, passengers flying TransAsia Airways to Singapore can also present their Singapore boarding pass at a handy counter in Singapore to enjoy the same discount. The daily rental price for handy is SGD 15 (approximately TWD 362). During the rental period, users enjoy unlimited local voice calls, mobile data, and international calls, making it easy and affordable to stay connected.

The coupon is valid from January 15 to April 30, 2013, and can be used at the handy Singapore service counter in the Singapore Visitor Centre on Orchard Road. The rental period must be at least two days, and only one coupon can be used per smartphone. Each handy smartphone available for rent is a Samsung Galaxy Note model, pre-installed with the TransAsia Airways app for easy flight information access. It also comes with a local Singapore travel guide, maps, featured stories, recommended itineraries, and a variety of apps, eliminating the need to carry travel books and providing access to the latest local travel deals. In the future, the service will also include booking systems for major performances and attractions, as well as shopping discounts.
Currently, renting a handy smartphone in Singapore includes unlimited local voice calls, international long-distance calls, and unlimited 3G mobile data. Laptop users can also turn the handy device into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Additionally, the plan covers international calls to over 20 countries and regions, including Brunei, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Macau, Malaysia, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain.
Tink Labs is the first Hong Kong-based technology company to provide mobile travel services for visitors. Since launching its handy Hong Kong smartphone rental service in July 2012, this innovative travel service model has been well-received in Hong Kong. As a result, Tink Labs expanded its service to Singapore in January 2013 with handy Singapore, with TransAsia Airways being its first partner in entering the Singapore market.
