SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[gongong]

Anyone knows roughly how long does it takes to complete the port-in existing number process? Cos I've submitted to activate TPG sim card this morning, 07/05/2022, around 10.30am. Then I received an email saying the following:
Port-In Request Submission Date: 07/05/2022
Expected Port-In Date: 08/05/2022
Then, around 11.30pm I saw that my current existing GIGA line has no network so I thought the port-in was done, but when I swapped the current sim card to TPG sim, there's no network at all. Is there like a few hours downtime when porting between telcos? Is it the same for other telcos too?

Should be done when you wake up tomorrow... Normally a few hours.

I recalled once it done you should get an email saying completed port over

My guess is either the Seniors or Business plan at $5/month (first 3 months).

Hi! I would like to upgrade my parent's TPG Senior Plan to the normal 100 GB plan. However, I cannot find an option inside his TPG account to upgrade. Any idea how to do it, please?

Auto upgrade for 50gb $10 plan.

20gb for $5, you won't be able to upgrade.

 

[andyhtc]

So I guess he has to go to the TPG centre to upgrade....

Not allowed too. SIMBA Have no mechanism to upgrade/downgrade the plan even if you're willing to pay.

Have to port out and back in if u want the upgrade badly and need the number too.
