I have 11 lines on record (including 4 Simba lines which i have transferred to a corporate account early march). The simba records are still in my personal account when i check recently. I emailed them to clarify and the first response was super unsatisfactory. Their latest response to me seems to suggest SCHM is suppose to update the list. I wonder is emailing IMDA will help. My understanding of the new regulation is that existing users with >10 lines won't be affected, but I think most of us are badly affected because we cannot port lines due to the limitations imposed by IMDA and the Telcos.

Their first email to me:
Thank you for contacting SIMBA Customer Experience. Upon checking the system, we can confirm that all 4 mobile numbers are already been terminated or has been port-out last March. We are sorry to inform you that we are unable to remove the number from our list since it is part of our records. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Their last email to me:
As per our relevant department, the mobile numbers are no longer with SIMBA. Kindly coordinate with SIMCardHowMany so that they can update their list since all the mobile numbers are now with xxx. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

As usual with new regulations, it's a bouncing around mess.

For my case, I wrote to SCHM, the manager suggested that I contact both telecoms to solve it. But telecoms replied that they have updated their records and requested me to look for SCHM.

Keep emailing the telco that they should update it.
That's the way to treat bums!

No changes, the number is still reflected under my name instead of my wife's. I have initiated a port out to Eight 5G on 16 Apr. Let's see whether they will update the correct ownership.

Base on recent similar issue, MVNO terminated my number, immediately the website release the dormant number

So its the provider that is shown on the website have to take ownership to clean up the data

Anyone that has more than 10 lines manage to port out from one telco to the telco?

I had a WhatsApp chat with SingTel and the CSO said that I can’t port into SingTel regular line (non-CIS) if I have more than 10 lines even though I port out and port in which means the number of lines is the same.

If more than 10 lines then of course not possible to port in to another line because the incoming provider would have encountered a problem with the subscriber having more than 10 lines.

Might need manual intervention to port the line.

So in general, better to just to try to keep the number of lines below 10.

Yes, we are not able to port out if we hold 10 lines. I port out one of my 10 lines to my wife to solve it.

IMHO.
Today, I went to a Singtel shop and actually did a live testing of the SimCardHowMany website.

When there is a SIM registration, it will show Pending Registration.

Also, it is very useful to find out that if the shop cannot register a SIM card, it is not due to oneself having max out the number of SIMs.

It is also a useful tool to show how SINGTEL mess up at their backend on the SIM card registration. 🤔 :ROFLMAO:
