Circles life jet pac

[ekardo]

I've just signed up for the $10 3GB plan.
I see the option to upgrade to the $25 plan, have 25GB in the first month in the app.

This month I only need 3GB. Will this upgrade to the 25GB plan be available next month?
Or I should not renew this $10 plan, terminate and resubscribe online to the 25GB plan?

One mobile number only can sign up for one plan right? So I will need to use another number when I sign up for the 25GB plan and setup the e-sim again.

I also Thot of terminating for months that I don't travel but I will lost my roll over 3gb.

Anyway, $10 still consider ok since I saved on the main plan by $20-$30 monthly

The jetpac $25 plan work well in Korea. Network is strong in both Jeju & mainland. Didn't dare to try it when I went to Osaka & Kyoto just in case network is super slow so I bought the esim from Airsim instead to use in Japan.

Just came back from HK, used the $10 3GB plan which worked well.

Going to terminate and resubscribe to the $25 plan when I head to Europe next month. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Just realised they have updated their plans, with Southeast Asia, APAC and Global categories. More expensive of course.
Global is 10GB $35. Last time $25 25GB for the first month.

I hope so! I hope your old plan is the $10 3GB. If $25 5GB not worth keeping unless you travel a lot.

I'll be keeping mine for my Europe trip next month. At first thought can change to 25GB plan. Now I'll use the 3GB and add 5GB for $25 if I run out. 8GB for 2 weeks trip should be enough.

Despite so much competition, data roaming is still so expensive!

Yes add 1GB is $8 for the old plan, I hope it stays.
Not sure how much the new plan charges. $8 is not exactly cheap, Starhub prepaid 1GB 3 days $5 but not e-SIM (troublesome for iPhone).

Is it me or the 3GB + rollover for $10 is not available anymore? Hmm...

Ya. Expensive. Most Telco is $5 per GB for add-on. so have to choose the plan wisely.


But too bad, with the new plan, circles life will not gain any new customers, and might also start to lose customer...

No longer available, they came up with new plans and as you have realised, it is more unfavourable to the consumer.
Seems to be no changes to those who signed up for the old plans but I won't be surprised if they make changes in a few months time.

No longer competitive prices on these new plans.
10GB for $35 is the same price as M1 data passport for non APAC countries. The advantage for Jetpac is it covers multiple countries on one plan, good for Europe trips as this will be $60 on M1.

looks attractive on paper... but i'm pretty sure 99% of the people will be paying for unused data.

But being this expensive makes me wonder whether SIMBA plans are actually unsustainable...

Simba roaming partner is limited. E.g Taiwan is GT mobile, Japan is KDDI. Their tie up is limited to 1 or maybe 2 foreign carriers. I think that’s why they can keep their rates low. ..
