SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

01. Try another Singapore SIM card.

If it still cant work. Means the device is not unlock.

I don’t have another SIMBA

Anyway the set is fine when in Sg…

So seems like the issue occurs when I want to use my SIMBA SIM in the N20U in Vietnam, could it be their (SIMBA) FOC 1GB roaming has some compatibility issue with this unlocked N20U or sth?

the icon turn but nothing changed. reinstall then everything becomes 0 .
lucky can sms for data usage and check balance

1) Got an unlocked Note 20 U, pop in the SIMBA SIM, auto roaming etc everything on - does NOT work but showing 'R'

The R appears next to the signal bar? That means it works. The 'R' just means that it's roaming.

Since the SIM card is able to roam with your other phone, & your phone is clearly working with a local SIM, one likely reason is that the APN information is wrong. Just need to verify it is set to TPG.

Hmm okay, I’ll explore into that

Can I check with you guys do you need to top up for data roaming in order for your phone to have telco signal oversea? It was working fine previously when I used it oversea without topping any value. I only need it for sms and calls yet it suddenly has got no signal. When I contact SIMBA they tell me need to top up for data to get telco signal.

Able to get network at most places. But data speed really depends on location and network load. Can be damn fast and slow at times.


Need to ensure your device support volte to call out and out. (Else need to install app for calls)

I did face some SMS otp when otp sent from oversea (yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook) a few month back. Haven’t request otp for awhile.

Spare as in top up the account?

It is not due to billing cycle expired. Did you try to turn on and off the Airplane Mode to see if the signal came back?

My office also weak or no network connection. Indoor connection is an issue. The mostly outdoor download connection speed average 20Mbps

I would think it is suitable for very senior retirement folks who don't need high speed connection but want very cheap price. Mostly they coffeeshop or home base using it eg watching YouTube with 5Mbps

I tried on 3 mobile phones and it did not work. Can I just have a quick check it is not required to top up the account in order to have telco signal right since it did work previously. I took the sim out for a few months as I was not using them and the signal didn't return even I insert it on the mobile that was working fine previously.
