From Fri I didn't see the voucher. Was it subsumed under black Fri?

I didn't notice, only searched under Get More Vouchers

Anyone just sign up the data only esim for roaming use ? I find the $5 is reasonable. Just use it for over 1-2 week Malaysia/ Thailand roaming usage.

My friend did it for aussie use.

It's very reasonable. Somemore you're going 2 countries. Very worth

 

[pchltws]

Not that I know off, most countries I go is Auto de

Thanks for the advice.

Your settings look ok, except I don't have Personal Hotspot that's set to TPG... there's no such setting for me.

Sometimes when signals go weak I'll toggle Airplane Mode (wait a 1 min after enabling) & I'll get back the signal - never fails me.

Thanks for the advice.

Once I get a new SIM card I just put TPG on 1st 2 entries of every feature there, including Hotspot. Then restart phone. So far been roaming without problem.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice.

Any problem just toggle airplane mode you should be good to go

If port in at those retail shops on sunday how long will it takes now? One guy at the shop told me 3-5 working days,

Report speedtest, brand of 5G router and how much. Good enough to stream TV ?

ya..I am interested to know also..

SIMBA $5 data plan: I'm using tp-link deco X50-5G (wifi 6) (around $350) to test.
At my location, I can only get Simba 4G. 100Mbps for download.
It's good enough to stream TV. I played Netflix and Prime, very smooth, video no jerking or buffering.
4k stream only needs 25Mbps

I also have Gomo 5G, download is more than 100Mbps. But I didn't test actual speed.
Since Simba is $5, good enough for me, I might drop Gomo 5G, as I don't need that speed.

Nice details & thanks. Strong 4G signal, dl can see 100mbps, already can stream, 5G got hope liao. 5G mifi router still pricey for the moment, as 4G is $100, 5G $300.

 

[weeza77]

especially if you just pay for the first $12 using paynow instead of credit card.

Can I confirm that its possible to terminate after 1 month?

just go to their service centre remove your credit card lor, but you still need to pay the second month subscription in order to port out

Just use a debit card with no money inside, eg youtrip card.
