SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

I am an existing SIMBA subscriber; how do I keep my number and swap to an eSIM?​

Just went over to their Service Centre @ New Upper Changi Road to enquire about eSIM and the staff there told me SIMBA doesn't offer SIMBA.

Told him to check out SIMBA website and he says he wasn't aware of it and ask me to try checking out their Service Centre @ Orchard or Kaki Bukit.

So now 2 telcos offers eSim (not factoring the mvnos as they are not full fledged telco). M1 and Simba respectively.

This will shake up the competition, the new apple phone 15 series might finally remove sim card slot for more markets, singapore included. This will probably make singtel and starhub to quickly introduce esim before it launches.

It's esim good? It'd be difficult to swap phones no?

What's the esim upside ?

Do you need involved the operator when you change phone ?

I think u just need to keep the QR code and scan into the new phone. Good for local iPhone with only one physical slot.

lai liao. New line though as I can now officially cancel my Singtel 2nd line (out of contract).

How long it took? I ported in late this morning from Circles.Life e-sim. Now still got no mobile signal...

Mine new line as I managed to get a nice number from SIMBA, will not be porting my Singtel and will cancel it instead. My friend ported his, took around 2 hours though.

Need to pay $5 for new devices. In the case of emergency user will be stuck. There is still no eSIM for watches, using the same number.

Your SIMBA eSIM profile is non-transferable. Any change in device will require a new QR code. You may walk into any SIMBA Service Centre and request for a new eSIM QR Code. A $5 fee will apply.

I thought there's a way for iphone to iphone transfer, hopefully that'll work for Simba too.

Can piu a minimum of $200 for a nice SIMBA number. .

The other day, I got a nice random number starting with 88 and ending with 77!

Top up here with $1 discount daily voucher. https://shopee.sg/SIMBA-(TPG)-Plan-Renew-and-Top-up-Main-wallet-i.36501223.9525302344

Is there a quota on the usage of $1 daily discount voucher? I'm trying to use now and it's greyed out

Frankly, I don't like such numbers combi. Too boring and no 4D number to hoot!

sounds troublesome. think stick to physical sim for now

 

[simcheat]

thanks so much for the esim. just apply new line scan on pixel 3. activated in 1 min. data works

 

[nom.nom]

Hope this can force the old telcos to adapt to e-sim.

No esim. It is not useful for now.
