MobileOne (M1) is a telecommunications company in Singapore. Launched in 1998, it was Singapore's second largest mobile operator after Singapore Telecommunications then. However, due to competition with the entry of StarHub in the mobile market, it is now the smallest mobile operator in Singapore in terms of number of subscribers.

M1 has launched its 3G network for consumer usage but it does not expect revenue from 3G to contribute significantly to its revenue until 2006. It has also just received a license to operate a wireless network for internet services.

Their current slogan is "1 Life, Live It."
