Eight Telecom discussion thread

[gapboy]

time for Simba to react. Maybe they should consider the $10 plan, on top of 3GB international roaming, give 5GB ASEAN roaming.

international roam includes Asia for Simba ?

yes. simba international is all countries. They do not separate them

 

[Habrosus]

Not forgetting that we're able to get the rates as low as $6 if not $5 region, I feel they're doing pretty good with this already.

(Don't ask me how to get such rates, or you'll get a virtual pain on the back of your head.)

i find that one is better than just Asia Roam

yep. i like that too. But not all agrees to that as some people only travels to jb frequently, hence they need just malaysia data roaming.

Back to eight, it's good they have 2gb international now. can fight with simba 3gb int

 

[Tedicious]

sian, no 5G, starhub 4G is terrible at my house man but 5G is a diff thing

i am referring to the general 100GB and 200GB plan that only have international roaming 3GB and 7GB respectively.

For other plans, at least they simba clearly state
#Note: 7GB Roaming (International) comprises of Roaming Data to Group A countries excluding Malaysia
