1. Create Function for Split Strings Using Identifier.
2. Create Procedure and call split function within procedure.

Create Function for Split Strings Using Identifier

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Split
(
      @ListItems NVARCHAR(2000),
      @Identifier NVARCHAR(5)
) 
RETURNS @RtnValue TABLE
(
      Id INT IDENTITY(1,1),
      Value NVARCHAR(100)
)
AS 
BEGIN

WHILE (CHARINDEX(@Identifier,@ListItems)>0)
      BEGIN
         INSERT INTO @RtnValue (value)
                  SELECT Value = LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@ListItems,1,CHARINDEX(@Identifier,@ListItems)-1)))
                 
         IF(@Identifier = ' ')
                  SET @ListItems = SUBSTRING(@ListItems,CHARINDEX(@Identifier,@ListItems)+1,LEN(@ListItems))
        
         ELSE
                  SET @ListItems = SUBSTRING(@ListItems,CHARINDEX(@Identifier,@ListItems)+ LEN(@Identifier),LEN(@ListItems))
      END

      INSERT INTO @RtnValue (Value)SELECT Value = LTRIM(RTRIM(@ListItems))
         
 RETURN
END

Create Procedure and call split function within procedure

CREATE PROCEDURE GET_SPLITED_TABLE --'HandSet Data-Stand Alone-4G-5000 MB', '-'
(
  @ServicesList NVARCHAR(MAX),
  @identifier NVARCHAR(10)
)
AS
BEGIN
   SELECT  Id, CONVERT(NVARCHAR(400), Value) AS Services
      FROM dbo.Split(@ServicesList, @identifier)
END

Split Results as given below screen using '-' identifier
