Most countries i want to go is in group A. Some in group B like UAE and Qatar, Group C like Mongolia. Otherwise I'm good. Haha. Hopefully all telcos will follow suit.

End of the day consumers win lah.. haha.

Ya SIMBA's international roaming is the best, I think eight is the only MVNO offering free international roaming data now (outside APAC countries)?

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

Sekali only for new accounts? Another round of and ...

international roaming what? Data? call?

if data, most (if not all) are offering data roaming.
call? Simba (not an MVNO) better. not tied to the VoLTE network.

Today's 8 Oct.
My $0 plan expiry is 18 Oct.
Maybe I should upgrade on... 10 Oct, since it won't stay forever 18 Whatever.

十全十美 memorable start date.

bro, I am comparing eight with other MVNOs- thus the statement. If I treated Simba as MVNO I would have said "Simba and Eight are the only MVNOs offering international roaming". Alamak chill man.

talking about bundled free international roaming data only. lol.

Not sure if existing customers get this plan automatically?

• I am an existing customer with eight’s old entitlements, how do I enjoy the new entitlements?
  If you are currently on the old entitlements i.e. $8 plan – 188GB, with the next month’s refresh it would show the new entitlements. Do not worry if you have bought our old plans in advance – Any new plan cycle will be refreshed with the new benefits!

Heng my Christmas 2025 plan is still $0 today.

Imo, all telcos should start billing on 1st of the month. I am now pretty confused with all the different billing dates. Haha.

I saw in one of the comments on FB from eight that says will apply for existing customers also.

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

data, all MNVOs are offering leh. the roaming data allowance varies from 1GB upward.
Circle Life's top tier roaming plan uses their local data allowance for roaming but certain destinations only.

Typed too fast in work meeting, talking about bundled free international roaming other than APAC.
