How so? Let's look at their roaming partners...

Eight Japan: Rakuten, KDDI
SIMBA Japan: Rakuten, KDDI
(Winner: Tie)

Eight South Korea: SK Telecom, KT
SIMBA South Korea: Uplus, KT
(Winner: Eight; SK Telecom is a better network overall than Uplus)

Eight China: China Mobile
SIMBA China: China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom
(Winner: SIMBA)

Eight Mongolia: Skytel
SIMBA Mongolia: (none)
(Winner: Eight)

Neither Eight nor SIMBA have any roaming partners in Russia.

OK, interesting. Apparently China Mobile is regarded as the best for coverage in China, so it's possible Eight offers the better roaming partner there if SIMBA can only roam onto China Telecom.
