What is the issue?

 

[pohu]

What us the issue?

How come the figures looked so funny one? Is the huge data and talk time due to rollover of unused data and talk time from previous month?

Imagine 6 month roll over with very few usage.

3600GB LOL

Impossible to use up since simba caps at 5mbps after 2gb.

My wife port in last Sunday, and Simba account activated two days later

Means today ported over alrdy? You mean ported over last last sunday, last tues then simba sim can use?

Cause my mum port in reg last sat. Now monday, still cannot.

 

[dexboi]

i rather SIMBA not do this rollover + speedcap sh1t
and let us utilise our deserved monthly roaming data at full speed.

why wanna compete with Singtel hi - they are just a sub brand with different target segment.

Day 2 in Malaysia. Roaming speed is reset. I can use full 5G speed again. Probably 2Gb later may be capped. Will monitor.

if really got FUP and speed throttling, how many GB they give is become something restrictive.

the rest of MVNOs have no restriction on how you use the monthly roaming data quota.
with both lion city and bolehland monthly usage, i can use easily more than 100GB per month of local data (shared in bolehland with no speed cap also). so no need to buy any data in bolehland under bolehland no.

Local usage should not have limit lah… imagine watching YouTube on the train and get throttled. SIMBA is not so stupid to commit hara hiri lah. Nobody has complained here. Dun listen to fake news.

the discussion is never about local usage. read the posts and discussions carefully.

I was referring to roaming data in bolehland (which it utilises local data quota) and not local usage in lion city.

and for some who are silly to feel that 2GB or 2.5GB per day is a lot, but one just watch a youtube video for 1 hour can pretty much use up that.

 

[CPTMiller]

If roaming data get throttled to 5mpbs, then >500gb data allocated for local/roaming data with selected countries can only be used up for local data. Definitely a very misleading ads now.

On the other hand, 5mbps is still not that bad which can run 720p YouTube video, but Simba is definitely playing monkey tricks now.

Most of the time Simba speed is less then 10Mbps already.
What throttled or not

The ability to use SIMBA's main data in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Hong Kong is a privilege, not an entitlement.

we paid for it of course it’s an entitlement what are you on bro

It's an entitlement as we pay for it when subscribing. Simba should clearly state any FUP or bandwidth restriction in the tnc which they have not.

If you alrdy have 10 lines, porting to simba, simba won't let you port.

Lol

Trash telco. Don't tell you at sign up.

To me the gap between Eight and Simba is already so narrow that this FUP thing is going to be the killer for most people. No point having 600GB roaming when you can only use 10% of that (2GBx30 days), Eight is more flexible, cheaper (if you give up 5G, or $0.80 extra for a better 5G) and now better

Simba's $30 for 90 days is the $12 plan for $10 per month, eight equivalent is $14.80 plan with better local 5G.
Simba's wifi calling also works well overseas.

Eight's change of plan is far superior though, you can change plan after the current plan expires, for up to 60 days later. But the invoice eight provide is a joke, Simba is much better at that.
I do hate Simba's renewal several days ahead, and that you can't change plan after day 25 or after plan expires.

2GB per day ? Even when overseas I barely hit 2GB in a week, so 2GB is a decent amount.
Even when used for work with video conferencing I don't hit 2GB a day.

With this comparison, Simba's offering isn't too bad, depending on what price plan & features you are looking at.
