Collected simba sim card this afternoon from shop, 11pm my current telco got cut off...

Now new simba card still no network

My experience

07.00am - started port-in process from Singtel to SIMBA

11.30am - collected SIMs

11.05pm - Singtel cut me off

01.11am - port-in successful!

Very fast!!
... within 24 hours!

Your SIMBA sim will only be active after 1.30am earliest

My experience

Can check is 5G default on all the plans or must add on with additional charges?

Everyone gets it, but you probably won't be seeing it much since the 5G coverage is rather poor.

No issue in Thailand for this trip. But I will be switching off this line for a few days as I need to pop in Thai sim. Dunno end of the month when I put back the SIM card will have problem or not.

I'm porting out of simba very soon, my account still got $5 balance left, will it remain if I port in again in future?

unfortunately no. termination/port out will wipe out everything.

So do you guys turn on your 5g or just stick to 4g since its 5g NSA anyway?

Save battery is just to stick to 4g right since NSA sucks more battery?

I've got 5G indoor/outdoor at home, around the office and nearby hawker center. Pretty much got 5G 95% of the time now as I don't spend much time outside the above 3 places .

How do you quantify the 8% more battery?
