# Your first week in Singapore: a setup checklist

Canonical page: https://singapore-starter.fyi/guides/first-week-in-singapore/

A practical starting order for your Singapore mobile number, bank account, electricity, broadband and everyday services.

This is a personal starting shortlist. Some links are referrals; provider pages disclose rewards, costs and qualification rules.

## Start with a local mobile number

Get a Singapore number for calls, data and account signups. You can get a new number or transfer an existing Singapore number; port-in offers require a number transfer.
