Hi everyone,

really could use some assistance. I’ve just port over from Circleslife last night. I’m able to use mobile data (LTE, although the speed is ridiculously slow), make outgoing calls and receive some SMS. But i cant receive incoming calls, (others called me but says the M1 number is unavailable), and I cant receive some bank OTPs as well? What can I do?

These are common porting in issues regardless of telco that will be resolved in a day or two.

erm, this is very obvious that you are finding excuse for simba leh....

celcom is simba's roaming partner, so it's simba's fault also mah...not as if you can choose simba network in msia..

Ur but a guest user on a foreign country network

 

[alex22]

But u have no contract binding with roaming telco. U are customer of local telco, and if they are choosing lousy roaming partner, then u blame on the roaming partner for that decision?

Blame buyer expectations lol.
Btw some part of Malaysia celcom and digi network abit weird, like not working properly.
I use msia celcom mvno sim work fine but simba cannot, but in some other areas is the opposite.

Maybe you can ask @tohchr -- if I'm not wrong -- he also uses SuperRoam 50GB (30D) plan.

I think the SuperRoam 50GB (30D) plan works OK for @tohchr when he used in Malaysia.


My friend's experience last month (June) in Malaysia is opposite.

He used both SIMBA & a Malaysia Digi SIM card for a few days last month in Malaysia.

According to him, mobile data on SIMBA roaming -- surprisingly -- works better than the Malaysia Digi SIM card.
(BTW, Celcom & Digi telcos have merged and is effectively now the same company)

In fact, SIMBA works reasonable well such that -- my friend even turn on his phone hotspot while in Malaysia & share Internet access with others.
(My friend has now dumped his Malaysia Digi SIM card.)

Anyway, if you're willing to acquire & use a local telco (Celcom) SIM card in Malaysia -- then maybe you don't really need to subscribe to SIMBA SuperRoam 50GB (30D) -- unless you intend to use SIMBA roaming in multiple other countries besides Malaysia.

the celcom simcard is borrowed from my friend to test the speed.

All below is with full bar signal testing.
today i tested, at city square, the speed is fast with Simba. can get 20 to 30 Mbps.

While last sunday,
1. noon time at Taman molek, internet speed also extremely slow, around 3 to 5 Mbps.
2. i tested at Bukit indah MacDonald (inside car, not building) at night, is almost totally can't use.
the speed is at 5 Mbps, spend 15 mins to finish ordering a meal with the MacDonald app in car.


Try at TUTA 2 weeks ago, is not useable, as the speed test is at 3 Mbps speed test.

currently i using at Nusa Idaman, 3 bar signal, also can get speed test
download 11Mbps, upload 1.8Mbps. - inside house.

For those of you who goes into JB regularly, do you always Enable/Disable Roaming or do you leave Roaming always Enabled even when you're back in SG?

Personally I think it is OK to leave Roaming Enabled all the time.

What are your opinions?

I don't frequently go JB, but I leave it on all the time, since the plan comes with free data roaming.

Do you see any IDD minutes bundled in your plan? Calls are only for local, not overseas.

That 300 is for local calls.

Those items not covered in your plan you will need to top up your Wallet (Credit) ie Account Balance - I think.
