that's the confusion coz they mentioned it's $4/GB for Group A.
I know they charge by every 10mb. I'm just wondering if they'd stop at $4.

" For excess data beyond the free roaming data allowances, simply recharge your SIMBA Wallet for Pay-Per-Use deduction. We offer the most affordable roaming rates, charged per 10MB block.

Group A destinations = $4 per GB "

My gusess is that they will continue to charge you for the excess data as long as your roaming is on & your wallet is not empty .

This is considered an IDD call, so there is no reason it would be charged to the ‘local number’ bucket….

3.Outgoing calls to local numbers of the destination you visit is supported. You can either purchase a SIMBA Super IDD Pack or deduct from SIMBA Wallet based on prevailing IDD rates.

Bro that's IDD calls. It's not free unless you're on $18 SIM Only / $25 SIM Only Plan.
Even then, it's 300 mins to 18 destinations afaik. Not all numbers in some of the destinations is eligible too.
