A variation of the original question: what about an IPv6-capable mobile provider ?

    For those who are going the route of getting a local Singaporean prepaid 
    SIM card:
    
    Looks like that https://topup.starhub.com/preorder/ is a great deal. 
     From the website, it appears that the $18 credit can be used for 2x 
    7-day 1GB data plans @ $7 each = $14, with $4 to spare for SMS or other 
    miscellaneous charges? And it gives you a local Singaporean number, for 
    as long as it lasts (so to speak...well, specifically, 180 days, but the 
    fine print says it can be extended with a top-up)?
    
    That one seems better than the M1 tourist card (identical to Klook link 
    I originally posted), in that the M1 tourist card seems to die in 5 days 
    or 10 days, with no renewal possibility.

That's worlds more data than I'm likely to use, so I primarily care about having enough time.  My US SIM will give me SMS regardless (and calling can be saved for Wi-Fi), and I have a dual-SIM phone, so I'm also only considering data rates.

However, my experience with international SIM cards has been that when I replace the SIM in my iPhone, my regular number in iMessage gets deleted after a certain period of time (sometimes instantly), which is a huge hassle because then nobody can message me the usual way until after I return to the US. I am not sure if there is some workaround for that behavior, to keep the iMessages flowing. I suppose there is no way to keep the SMS messages flowing, short of leaving a phone plugged in, in the US, and having the phone forward the SMS messages elsewhere. Phone calls, of course, can be forwarded to other numbers fairly easily.
