I wonder how many people are topping up just because there's a promo(FOMO) vs how many make an informed decision to commit with SIMBA. 180+180 gives you 3 years on the $10 plan, 6 years on the $5 senior plan.

You can do some high-level estimates based on the numbers in the financials. As of Dec 2025, their balance sheet has around 25mil in unearned revenue as liabilities vs half-year mobile revenue of around 82mil. So the prepayment collected was approx less than 2 months' worth of mobile revenue. In the next report covering until June 2026, you will be able to see the addition of this year's March and May promo payments.

If the telco or MVNO is unlikely to disappear actually no harm.

I did the top up for others on Sunday but dunno how to participate in the lucky draw and the staff attended to me also never mention anything about lucky draw so I presume the lucky draw is for other promo activities not top up activity. In this regards, Eight's free Mixue ice cream and little lucky draw is more transparent.

If you all noticed that simba data internet have been quite slow and laggy recently, try turning off 5G.

Yesterday, i switched to 4G only and found that internet is faster and no longer "looking for 5G NSA". Websites and video loads faster. Go try and see if it works for you all.

Many recent 2-3 years ago phones do not have the 5g on off toggle. My 2 years ago xiaomi does not have in mobile network settings. Needs to enter engineering menu to force 4g only and will reset to default on reboot.

I've seen some Android apps that purportedly allow you to force 4G/LTE mode on the few phones where that choice is missing. Does this one work? Or this one?

For my Xiaomi, I always put on 4g/LTE mode, didn't bother to use 5G
