What's your experience? Any recommendations?

Currently on eight and simba senior plan. $5/mth.

Eight on 4g. very jialat. They use cheap bad ip addresses. Many websites auto block you when on eight.

Simba still very unreliable even tho 5g.


Last time heya still not so bad, but at certain mrt station like bishan to newton always 0 connection.

Old people 5 bucks sim you want how high speed?

all are contractless....
As long u're 60 and above...meet all the requirements, no restriction.

if porting fail, got downtime.... no point switching around. :censored:

so far, gomo is the best... with 5g at $6

If you’re dissatisfied with Eight (StarHub), SIMBA, and Heya (Singtel), you could try Circles.Life 5G at S$6 per 30 days, available to everyone (including seniors) with a 5G promo code currently listed within the last few pages of the Circles.Life thread. Circles.Life uses the M1 network (which is shared with StarHub on 5G, separate on 4G).

Prawn no issue. It's apps n other sited that auto block u cause ur ip is bad.

And any price plan speed is same.

Why apps and sites will block? All these are block by imda leh.

If you use Google play hor the app you see or download is based on your gmail account country. If you put Vietnam gmail you can see Vietnam apps and download

Telcos leases ip addresses from imda. Some ip address are known to be associated with crimnal activities and are in naughty lists. Many of these get caught and telco terminates the leased line. Now telcos can choose to sell these ip address or continue to use them. If sold, its sold really cheaply

8 probably chooses to buy them and use them. It could be only for senior plans, or others, idk.

Many websites checks their client's ip address before allowing them to the site.

Eight senior plan they give you bad ip address.

Heya, is singtel 4g, cannot use singtel 4g. Singtel behaves like apple. Once new service come out, they heavily throttle the old 1. Use singtel must use the latest 1.

Circlelife last time got $0 plan. They cancel it suddenly and charge me monthly. They claim that i owe them 50+ and sent debt collector. I refuse to pay. So I probably cant signup circlelife.
