What is Airalo and why use it
Airalo is an eSIM store. You buy a mobile data plan for your destination in the app, install it on your phone, and you’re online the moment you land. There’s no SIM card hunting at the airport and no roaming bill from Singtel, StarHub or M1.
It covers local, regional and global plans across 200+ destinations. Plans come in two types: fixed data, like 1GB or 5GB, and unlimited.
My experience: I always buy the unlimited plans. I’ve used them in Japan, Thailand and Malaysia, and speeds were very fast in every country. I’ve never had to hunt for cafΓ© Wi-Fi to load Google Maps.
Airalo Referral Code: SGC9142 β What You Get
| Who | Reward | When |
|---|---|---|
| You (new user) | US$3 off your first eSIM | Instantly at checkout |
| Your referrer | US$3 in Airmoney (Airalo credit) | After your first purchase |
The discount is in US dollars, because Airalo prices in USD by default. US$3 is roughly S$4, depending on the exchange rate.
SGC9142 vs NEWTOAIRALO15 vs AIRALOESIM10: Which Code Should You Use?
This is the question most code sites skip. Airalo’s T&Cs say these promo codes cannot be combined with any other promotion. So you choose one per purchase.
The maths is simple. 15% of US$20 is US$3, so:
- Plan under US$20: use SGC9142. A flat US$3 beats 15%.
- Plan over US$20: use NEWTOAIRALO15. 15% beats US$3.
- Already bought from Airalo before: use AIRALOESIM10. It’s 10% off, but the discount is capped at US$3.
Here’s how it works out on Japan unlimited plans (prices as of Oct 2026):
| Japan unlimited plan | Price | With SGC9142 | With NEWTOAIRALO15 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | US$11.50 | US$8.50 | US$9.77 |
| 7 days | US$26.50 | US$23.50 | US$22.52 |
| 10 days | US$34.50 | US$31.50 | US$29.32 |
Short trips like a JB weekend, a quick Bangkok getaway or a 3-day Japan stopover favour the referral code. Week-long trips favour the 15% code.
How to Use the Airalo Referral Code (Step-by-Step)
- Check your phone supports eSIM. It also needs to be carrier-unlocked. Most recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S and Pixel phones are fine. See Airalo’s device compatibility list if you’re unsure.
- Download the Airalo app or go to airalo.com, then create an account.
- Pick your destination and plan. For example, Japan β Unlimited β 3 days.
- At checkout, tap “Apply code” and enter SGC9142. The US$3 discount appears before you pay.
- Pay with a debit or credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- Install the eSIM. You can do this in Singapore before you fly, while you’re still on Wi-Fi. Turn it on and set it as your data line when you land.
Local tip: Most Airalo plans are data-only. Keep your Singapore SIM switched on for SMS, so you can still receive bank and Singpass OTPs. Turn off data roaming on your Singapore line to avoid surprise charges.
Eligibility & Terms You Should Know
- First purchase only. The referral discount applies to your first eSIM order. Once you’ve bought from Airalo, it no longer works.
- No stacking. You can’t combine SGC9142 with NEWTOAIRALO15, AIRALOESIM10 or any other promotion.
- Payment methods. Promo discounts work with card, PayPal, Alipay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. They don’t apply if you pay with Airmoney.
- Promo code expiry. NEWTOAIRALO15 and AIRALOESIM10 are valid until 1 January 2027. They can end earlier if the redemption limit is reached.
- Referral programme. It has no published end date, but Airalo can change its terms at any time.
- No multi-account tricks. Airalo can cancel orders that use multiple accounts to milk promotions.
Is the Airalo Referral Bonus Worth It?
For short trips, yes. US$3 off a US$11.50 plan is a 26% saving, which no other public code matches.
For longer trips, NEWTOAIRALO15 saves you more, and we’d rather you use the right code than the one we earn from. Either way, you’re paying far less than telco roaming. Airalo’s Japan unlimited plans start at US$11.50 for 3 days, and Thailand and Malaysia unlimited plans start from US$9.50 and US$11.50.
How to Share Your Own Airalo Referral Code
After your first purchase, you get your own code:
- Open the Airalo app and go to Profile β Refer & earn.
- Copy your unique code and share it on WhatsApp, Telegram or anywhere else.
- Each friend gets US$3 off their first eSIM.
- You get US$3 in Airmoney when they complete their first purchase. Airalo notifies you instantly.
There’s no limit on how many friends you can refer. Airmoney appears as a payment option at checkout for future eSIMs or top-ups. Remember that paying with Airmoney means you can’t apply a promo code on that order.
FAQ
Does the Airalo referral code still work in 2026?
Yes. SGC9142 gives new users US$3 off their first eSIM purchase as of October 2026.
How long does the discount take to apply?
It’s instant. The US$3 comes off your total at checkout, before you pay.
Can I use the code if I already have an Airalo account?
Only if you haven’t bought an eSIM yet. The discount applies to your first purchase. Existing customers should use AIRALOESIM10 instead.
Can I stack the referral code with NEWTOAIRALO15?
No. Airalo’s T&Cs say promotions can’t be combined. Pick whichever saves more: the referral code for plans under US$20, NEWTOAIRALO15 for plans above that.
Is the referral discount in SGD or USD?
It’s US$3, about S$4. You can switch the display currency in the app, but the reward is set in USD.

Yes. Airalo sells Malaysia eSIMs, including unlimited plans from US$11.50. For frequent JB trips, a top-up on the same eSIM is easier than buying a new one each time.
