SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[Habrosus]

you sound abit like TKL who always travel the same way. ever met him while crossing?

Hotlink now prefers Starhub. wonder if Maxis relations with Singtel soured.

Touch wood! Have never crossed path with him neither do I wish to. If I do *touch wood * *knock knock * whatever, he'd instantly become invisible to me.

If he's here he'd probably say I'm rude as he does to many others who don't agree with him. I don't owe him anything so... I-DON'T-CARE.

Travel the same way? You mean via Tuas? Beats going through the Woodlands chaotic situation, no?

By the way, he's Forest City, I've been there once and have no wish for another visit. Where got alike lah... *TOUCH WOOD*

you might want to consider 5G plans from other telcos / mvnos. Like maxx or zero1, it's time people start moving to 5G SA, as telcos do not really maintain 4G network anymore.

Is 5G actually just that no 5G here, too many ppl simba already few months ago start to slow down everywhere

more than a third

Telecommunications safeguards were also strengthened. The SPF disrupted over 105,000 scam-related mobile lines in 2025, more than double the previous year’s total. SIMBA was identified as the carrier with the highest number of disrupted lines, totalling more than 39,300.

haha.. no idea let's see

 

[Jurong640]

Ok here we go again

 

[Jurong640]

The last round in November or December, i can't remember which month. They also have this message before announcing the "deals".

Initially, i thought it will be a SIMBA The Lion King announcing the completion of Merger with M1. End up, meow.

Let's see tomorrow if it's ROAR... or meow Hopefully, really the annoucement of the merger as it's time for annual report

 

[Habrosus]

I'm only interested in "we're finally 5G SA!".

haha isnt Simba 5G always ? lolz

I'm only interested in "we're finally 5G SA!".

Only when they merge with m1 will anyone experience a real speed bump. Right now the amount of bandwidth allocated to them is nothing close compared to the other 3 telcos.

Yes. Simba is always "5G". 5G NSA,no SA available anywhere.

Hopefully, they will launch their SA on their bands soon before they merge M1 bands together

...

Last week my partner & I were in Xi'an for 7 days - both on SIMBA's Senior Plan. I'd 0.21GB balance after the trip; partner's was 0.99GB balance - I didn't surf as much as when I'm in SG though.

I'd another SIMBA's PrePaid $12 with 18GB for China etc which I gave to a friend, on the same tour, to use - she used nearly 4GB.

Most times we were allocated 4G by CTC (I presume China Telecom). 99.9% was good, only on one occasion all SIMBA's subscribers on tour had no signals, even trying airplane mode on/off, change APN, on/off phone, manual choosing other Telcos (which was rejected) etc.

Finally it worked by switching in phone's settings (Preferred Network Type) to focus on 4G without option for 5G. It was only a small hiccup. Much later when I switched back to have Auto 5G the issue didn't arise again

Signal coverage was very good, whether high up in the hills, deep down in the vallies, deep undergrounds, highways etc...

Added:
Didn't use hotel WiFi at all as Google, Whatsapp etc cannot be accessed.

Let's see if the promo will also be applicable at other authorized retailers islandwide.

Otherwise, if the promotion is only at Marina Square, then we will soon see news on mothership, stomp and Facebook. Seniors standing up from their PMAs to top up their account.
