My friend applied Seniors Plan for her mother.

He went to the counter with the authorization form filled to collect the SIM.

You can approach the Service Centres to clarify the process.
C19 movement restriction period, I applied online for a senior friend and went to collect SIM cards from Orchard Central, with authorization letter and IC, and got them.

Thanks for the insight! I assume he/she applied online for her and then went to pick up? Any idea if he/she ported from prepaid?
Since you are going there, just do everything there. Bring along her phone with existing SIM card, nric for both , and the signed form.

That's what I'm thinking too, hoping it's just as straightforward as that, and not needing anything else

assuming this was a new line and not a prepaid port to postpaid?

The best thing about SIMBA is FOC free roaming calls as long as you are calling to SG numbers or receiving from SG numbers.

Simba IDD roaming means can call to or receive calls from anywhere in those 20+ covered countries. The app is optional.

Hi guys!

What is your experience for SIMBA 5G $10 plan?

I intend to use it as replacement for home internet, so might want to buy a 5G Sim Card router.

Is the speed decent?

Thank you!

Speed depends on areas ... not all place is good i will advise not for replacement for Broadband if you have smart devices or use internet alot for watch movies etc....

You wont expect good speed from Simba mobile

Simba has a data only 5g plan , $5 only for 300gb.

No one can tell the speed if you use it in your house. So the only way is to get a Simba SIM card, put in your phone and measure speed in your home.

Sometimes its 4g is faster than 5g. But who cares, if it can give sufficient speed.
