Circles life jet pac

[sprouts]

Just got back from Taiwan. Jetpac works well for my whole 16days round island. Recommended!

So, it's slow in Taipei but ok elsewhere? I'm heading to Taiwan this week and contemplating whether I should get this or buy the eSim from Taoyuan airport.

Traveling to oth Taipei and Yilan only.

Amy other feedback?

If you have the extra SIM Card slot, can consider a m1 prepaid which has free roaming in 5 locations, including Taiwan.

how did you guys manage to get connected to 5G? Was in Taiwan but couldn't get 5G at all on both Chunghwa and Taiwan Mobile. Using iPhone12

yeah but I only get 4G signal and not 5G even if I set to 5G on

I would second on my experience in Japan. Although connecting to 4G was fine was it was really quite slow

Seems like CL is reportedly seeking interest for their new plans offering.
The Malayisa and APAC plan looks attractive enough for frequent travellers, just have to endure the shitty M1 infra in SG. lol

[ekardo]

looks similar to M1 enterprise plan..

 

[jayjay0702]

Not competitive at all as compared to SIMBA if you ask me. Probably the only selling point is that china is included in the data roaming

 

[gapboy]

circles life not really cheap

I disagree. If you are a frequent traveler within the APAC countries, the APAC plan is probably one of the best value for money plans around. The closest for SIMBA is either the Superroam 50G or Superroam Max plans but both have their own limitations (Superroam 50G's roaming is more limited & other than Malaysia, is restricted to 10GB. Max has more countries, but roaming is limited to 10GB).

Another point is that likely, this is available as an eSIM, unlike SIMBA.

Disagree with you too, if they are using some other MNO backbone it will definitely be much more attractive. The pricing structure are similar to SIMBA too.
SIMBA is great by itself, pretty hassle free but as @sullycoin mentioned, they do not have eSIM which is cumbersome.

And tpg network reliability still questionable.

Yes, until their reliability improves, SIMBA still will be 2nd fiddle for most users.
Though SIMBA is improving really quickly as compared to incumbent where things like eSIM is still not implemented after ages.
