SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[uncle_josh]

It was to sound a cautionary note to others who may be considering the provider. If to create an account to 'rant' is 'crazy', then posting Speedtest results here and there, and not about real world usage of 5G, and fanboy postings must be 'wise'.

Fanboy not interested to listen to your problems.
They only pretend to be helpful to make you shut up.
Can see many Fanboy posting wasting bandwidth.

Refer to page 12 of the annual report

seems like m1 will be a separate brand under Simba

not sure will there be any network consolidation, e.g. m1 and Simba will utilise the same 5G network

I'd prefer to keep them separate for customers segmentation. What is most important is simba will gain the 5G bw it needs to expand their services.

thanks for sharing. It is expected, but it might also change, depends on IMDA approval with Terms

Also if I still have Simba and Maxx by then, one will be up if/when the other's down.

They will be crazy not to merge the spectrum and network.
The complexity is that m1 co-own their 5G network.

Enticed by the $12/month that comes with the 18Gb International roaming.
Heading to China & Jeju in the next month.

Any complaints in those regions?

Last year when I was in jeju, simba roaming there was good. Very stable.

For china, my friends use it frequently in China. Very good, no complaints. He went Hainan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guilin

anyone having the same issue? I'm in Hangzhou.

Has anyone successfully purchased a new/eSIM card while overseas(in Malaysia) and used it for roaming?

I’m planning to buy a $12 SIM card for my parents and add the eSIM to their phone in Malaysia before they leave for China. However, I’m concerned that the SIM card must first connect to Singapore before it can be used for overseas roaming.

Would it be better to purchase the physical SIM card, connect it to the network once when I in SH, and then insert it into their phone before they leave for China?

Nope. 5g at both places and with uninterrupted speed/bandwidth..didn't need to search for another provider.

eSIM should be fine. U need to connect to wifi to activate. Anyways.

Can activate overseas without connecting to Singapore network at all?

Mind providing some screenshots of that policy?
(It's not standard practice to be able to activate new sim cards overseas).
