Chart of the Day: Singapore has Asia’s most expensive mobile calling rates

Pricing stands at US$7.1 cents per minute.

Calling is way more expensive in Singapore compared to other Asian countries, according to this chart from DBS.

Voice pricing in Singapore generates a revenue per minute of US$7.1 cents, almost double the US$3.7 cents in Malaysia.

This is also significantly above US$1.1 cents in Thailand, Indonesia and China, and US$0.6 cents in India.

"Voice pricing is highest in Singapore compared to the countries in the region. However, in many developed countries, we are seeing a trend of packages that offer data-based pricing with unlimited voice calls," DBS said
