hi. ask a dummy question.. so i subscribed a data-only simba plan.. collected the sim..

i use the simba app login to the account.. i cant see any settings/billing arrangement.. so monthly i need to manually topup the 5 dollar to renew the plan?

There is a web based login. you can try to see if there is recurring payment function there or not. Else , in app, just load your desired amount. I loaded 6 months worth.

I also subscribed the data only plan.

There is a billing and recharge, you can top up your wallet there. If you want recurring payment via card, you need to login on web portal using your service ID that starts with 2xxx

Does the incoming work in Spore?

Just to be sure, maybe can just try in the Apps.

More -> Settings -> Calls -> Call Barring -> Barring of all incoming call -> Deativate

Hi , I cannot deactivate call barring. I am in overseas right now. It prompted fail to add data. Do I need to deactivate when I am back in spore. I try to call Singapore from overseas but to no avail

SIMBA suddenly switched off all forms of call divert/barring middle of this year.
Nobody can set anything anymore.
Don't believe me? someone just go give it a try.

I have a ZTE MF79U 4G wingle which I would like to use Simba data-only SIM. I notice the LTE freuqncies used by SIMBA are as follows:

• 5G NR: Band 1 (2100 MHz)
• 4G LTE: Bands 8 (900 MHz), 38 (TD 2600 MHz), and 40 (TD 2300 MHz)

I googled the frequencies that ZTE MF79U uses:

• LTE FDD: Band 1/3/5/7/8/20 (2100/1800/850/2600/900/800 MHz)

So 5G NR Band 1 vs LTE FDD Band 1, are they the same band? Will the MF79U wingle work for SIMBA SIM?

Another query, anyone who stays near Canberra MRT- can you assist to let me know what are your average download and upload speeds?

I can set it thru the phone menu.. no longer able to set using app.

recommend to sign up a new line to ownself test, as we have different phone/tablet, different expectations, etc.

just $5 for data-only plan, can cancel later if u don't like it

safer to test yourself before porting over main line

4g dongle unlikely to be able to use 5g band, even though same mhz

also, your dongle only supports band 8. maybe consider using phone to tether, or buy a newer dongle that supports all simba 4g bands

Well after 6ish months with simba i have gone back with singtel. I will miss the roaming but i prioritise sg connection more.
Honestly speed with simba isnt the best but it works. The only major issue i have with simba is the blindspots and there is so much i need to do to report it.
Speedtest from same location-


you can guess which is what
