Nope. Singtel didn't give me a temporary number. Singtel the big red one, mind you.


The onus is upon us to make sure our line is free from any obligation before porting. It's on us to go chase our donor telco, and that I did, until it's solved and I got back to Singtel to go ahead with the process again.

Cheat? :unsure:

Edit : Lo and behold, I forgot to remind that with Singtel there's already a year's contract tied up.

Too much trouble. I have better things to do tbh. I just hopping around to game the system get the port in promos. Plus staff also not sure heya can portover anot. Esp since singtel shutdown heya and movr it from singtel postpaid dept to singtel prepaid env, it's unclear if heya is postpaid or prepaid.

If simba dont give assurances with temp number, then I just go for other. Like eight, which does. If portover fail, THEN i kpkb and find out why and fix it. I can use the spare lines to go overseas like jb anyway.

I'd nearly 20 lines in my name until they came up with the 10 lines overall limit, and I only got rejected recently.

We learn as we live, so it's good to find out and understand what went wrong to avoid it happening again. Or maybe that's just me... 🤷‍♂️

Iirc Simba limit is 5 lines. Eight is 3.

You feel it's your due diligence to ensure the port over happen swee swee.

I feel it's the telco's due diligence to build the proper user experience and redundancies to ensure customers are kept informed on port in requirements, and have redundancies should port in gets rejected.

If customer paid for 1 30day phone plan, customer expects 1 30day phone plan. Just bcoz their port-in got rejected doesn't mean they lose the right to 1 30day phone plan.


You probably also feel the onus is on customer to understand the service provider's billing mechanisms and pay their bills on time.
I feel its the service provider's responsibility to ensure customers are adequately informed and done the necessary to remind customers to pay their bills.

It's just different thinking. Probably due to generational gap. I am guessing you are a boomer/merdeka? Your way of thinking is really prevalent among that generation. They pride themselves in things like reading the fine prints.

Get credit card late fees, you probably will say it's customer fault for forgetting to pay. Might even blame them for not setting an alarm/routine every month.
My gen will expect the bank to provide adequate reminders else they are expected to waive. If not, escalate to fidrec.

Yes. It happened for me. Last time simba senior plan roaming 1gb only. Once use up it gets really slow. Probably enough for you to login to purchase more data.

Go japan i buy 6 cards.

Yes, started from 1 May as i was staying at my fren jb place till now still the same, i observed as long as u exceed ard 2gb or so, they will cap ur speed to 500kpbs which is useless for most applications, any telco/mvno to recommend porting over for my roaming usage cos simba sucks now?
