SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[eddy0505]

so with a better phone, simba will improve? I'm using a 2020 phone admittedly

heaven is eight, earth is simba. So 99.99% of the time I am using eight for local data.

My plan hasn't reached the 30 days yet. But my data has been reset?

Anyone encountered the same?

My last renewal was on 11 March.

Was checking my usage and saw that my usage has been reset!

Some roaming countries eight is better. But Simba local for me is cmi.

just a question to clear some doubts.

Take SG MY for example.
300GB shared between HK SG MY.
Once this one used up, then consume 3GB roaming
Then 12GB APAC before charged $4 per GB.

Am i right to assume this or its something else?

Apac before the group A global roaming.

I thought shopping complex or MRT simba speed quite stable due to many 4G 5G repeater around ??

So if thailand under apac roam 12gb? Also under group a?

So 12gb use finished (apac) then use 3gb (group a)? Then after that is sgd4/gb? Let's say for thailand/taiwan...???

Not sure... very weird way of advertising...

Malaysia & Hong Kong are part of the 300 GB main data allowance... but also part of the 12 GB APAC group and also part of the Group A listing...

There are 2 ways to interpret this:
1. Since Hong Kong & Malaysia are part of the main data list, they don't qualify for APAC & Group A data allowances anymore...
2. Since Malaysia & Hong Kong are part of these 3 different data allowance listings, then they qualify for all 3 data allowances...

This coverage redundancy was already there from the day they covered Malaysia in the main data allowance... but since you'll never finish using the 200 then 280 GB, then 300 GB, in Malaysia or Hong Kong, we'll never find out which option is correct short of SIMBA answering the question...

It seems like the APAC listing targets Bangladeshi foreign workers who return home and so need roaming data... having free data may entice them to sign up... I see many of them video calling their families, and the 300 GB is very attractive if they video call every day for a few hours... video calls really consume a lot of data... plus streaming videos...

For the rest of the countries in APAC, I can't imagine what the target audience is... even though many Singaporeans visit Taiwan & Thailand for holidays but I would hardly think the addition will attract more subscribers given that there's already 3 GB roaming for these countries and holidays to these countries tend to be short and 3 GB would be sufficient...

yup pretty much the line up. the benefit you got from signing up their contract.

got upgraded 3 times within the last 12mths. thats clever marketing

Not four times? Upgrade also no use, the MY Roaming with Celcom is slow AF.
