heya is good, but last i checked they dont support roaming sms? those need otp would be a headache. also data roaming is 3 countries now, but the $3/GB is good.

Support incoming sms lah. Else how you receive OTP overseas to check your data usage?

Hi, I went to a phone shop regarding Simba Sim Card as below. I intend to give this a try on my backup phone if the below statements are true with no strings attached.

* I was told that it cost $10 per 30 days. If any of the following below is used up (ie: 100GB used up in say 2 weeks), I won't be able to use local data and will be able to use it again after a top up of $10 30 days later.
* There is no contract and just my NRIC will do.
* The most I will ever pay is $10 per 30 days and no more.
* I will be given a new number.
* If one day decide don't want to use Simba, just don't top up and the number will expire.

Sounds too good to be true. What is the catch??? Can anyone verify if it's true? Thank you.

1) 100GB local data.
2) Unlimited calls incoming and outgoing calls.
3) 300 mins to landline where as if finished, you won't be able to call to any landline..... I mean that's fine by me.
4) Free caller ID
5) 30 local sms

IMHO.
What's the catch? For me is slow.

This is 5G plan right? If yes...Looks good to me :o . Some of my aged relatives who are with 3G plans with other telcos intend to switch over to SIMBA too before July.

But I thought the free outgoing call to mobile lines should be limited to SIMBA mobile?

I actually thinking getting a backup plan with SIMBA too.
IMHO.
You're right. For me, the 5G looks good. :ROFLMAO:

Some how, I could not use the Simba simcard to do normal call in/out. But using Singtel Simcard can.

Heya roaming is limited to 3 countries. And some people rather use MNO than MVNO.

I see, it's the roaming... for me, if I am a low usage type, I would go for heya bcos it can renew every 3mths instead of $10 monthly. only that have to renew manually... Or maybe my understanding is wrong, I not using heya tough...
edit: oh sorry, the plan only last for 30days. have to manually renew monthly... the 3 mths thing is for base plan to be alive, but it's only 60days...

Reception not the best.
Some time call does not come thru..
Not 99 percent reliable like Singtel.
Maybe just 75 percent reliable.
TS , you have to weigh the pros n cons on this Vs the price
Correct

Sometimes those verification SMS OTP does not arrive at all

That I don't know but I think should be 4G (I could be wrong).... doesn't matter much to me... anyways using this for my backup phone.....

TS your phone 5G type:s11: I heard Simba upgraded their users to 5G. If plan 5G then should be good.

For me Im seriously considering trying out SIMBA $10 100GB plan :o . Im not a heavy phone user.

Bro, "looks" good only ah:s11: I believe it could be trial plan.
IMHO.
I have been trying to use it full-time for many months at work.
Early morning, keeps disconnecting.
Speed wise, my Heya is faster.

100GB is useless because difficult to finish using it.
But not impossible if i stream let's say Youtube along expressway. :ROFLMAO:

My suggestion, don't port over. Just get and try to see if it works for you.
