(Yicai Global) Sept. 11 -- Chinese internet colossus Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s [HK:0700] WeChat messaging app has partnered with Singaporean telecoms operator StarHub [SGX:CC3] to introduce a WeChat GO SIM card product.

The WeChat GO SIM card has 7-day and 12-day packages priced at USD11.91 (SGD16) and SGD32, respectively. Both include a fixed amount of data, roaming service, local calls, and long-distance calls to mainland China. The service can be used in Singapore and its 14 neighboring countries and regions, Tech.ifeng.com reported.

WeChat put WeChat GO on the market last year as a travel solution. It provides services mainly for outbound Chinese tourists and more than 50 million overseas Chinese. WeChat hopes to further influence non-Chinese users around the world.

Founded in 1998, StarHub is currently the second largest telecoms operator in Singapore and has a fixed and mobile communications service license there.

WeChat has cooperated with Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Ltd. [HK:2332], Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom Co. [TWSE:2412] and Holland's Royal KPN N.V. and to bring WeChat GO SIM cards to their local markets.
