Controlled by StarHub but different operating teams, allocated with different budgets as well I believe.

Actually is if u hv idle device, daily limit is 200 coin earning without purchase transaction.
Just idle everyday a bit a bit, slowly can 3k 5k
If ur mari cc user u hv 5% unlim coin cashback.
But to me that's not necessarily beneficial since daily limit of 1k to expend

U meant to say earn 200coins by purchasing things daily? I understand the 200coins is a cashback coins. One will get it after “confirm received”

Same same. I paid $38 to get my lucky number from SIMBA and then ported out later and now I'm with 8.

Sometimes I feel Simba these days is only good for "buying" numbers. Other than attracting seniors with their $5 plan, that is. :razz:

For my use case, when i use getgo, i have to upload photos of pre-trip and post trip. The upload speed was damn slow. I have to use my other zym phone to tether hotspot using zym's 5G. So frustrated with the slow upload speed and ported out of eight to zym.

Few pages ago, there is one user mentioned when he tried doing livestream, he only able to do 720p upload. in 1080p livestream (upload), it's laggy and jittery.

If one requires faster upload speed, i.e live streaming, uploading photos or sending photos, eight will not be a good choice. Otherwise, eight streaming speed and download speed is good, do all the work well.
