I think app no setting to enable auto start. So only way is to self start the simba voice evetytime phone restart. :D Thanks
can install startup manager to make it autostart.

nevertheless, it is not difficult to run the app after reboot. my phone almost doesn't need to reboot for months.

Nice to see this. The wait has been so longggggg. :s22::s22:

What about Pixel 4a? Anyone using it can verify if it works now?
Nope, not working on either stable Android 13 or beta. You can see the SIMBA FB post, there's one user asking them to extend this to 4a in the comments. Not sure if they or Google will bother or not.

I thought simba gives grace period 21 days after your renewal? I renew online via shopee on the 20th. my new expiry for data is 10 days instead of 30 days. A bit smelly.

The expiry start date still follow the original date the plan suppose to expire or renew.

It will not re start anytime within the 21 day.

This was explained to me when I pick up the SIM card.

The grace period is for you to renew before they terminate your service and the new expiry date will continue from your previous expiry date. It has been like this since Day 1. Nothing smelly at all.

Are you currently using $10 SIMBA 100GB (50GB+50GB) postpaid plan?

If yes, you need to know that during the 21 days grace period, you can still:
(a) Receive incoming calls & incoming SMS.
(b) Access mobile data at a limited speed of 192Kbps.

That means during the 21 days grace period, someone can still call you; AND you can still access Internet on your phone at (a throttled/limited) speed of 192Kbps.

Since both voice (incoming calls) & mobile data (192Kbps) services -- are still rendered to you during the grace period -- thus the grace period will be considered part of your 30 days SIMBA billing cycle.

You can refer to this PDF file on SIMBA Web site for details on the $10 SIMBA postpaid plan.

In the above PDF file, you can find the following:
"Unsuccessful payment for plan renewal will result in a reversion to a Basic Plan which includes only Basic Data Services (192Kbps), incoming calls and SMS."

***
Of course, alternatively, you can consider using Singtel/M1/Starhub prepaid.

If you use Singtel/M1/Starhub prepaid, there is no requirement to buy any data or voice plan on a monthly basis -- i.e. you can choose to buy any data or voice plan -- only as & when you need.

If you use Singtel/M1/Starhub prepaid -- any data or voice plan you buy, the valdity period will start on the DAY you buy the plan -- regardless how long ago any plan you previously bought has expired.

300mins fix line call means the mins are deducted if you call landline .. calling mobile phones is free no charge

Wah your join date Aug 14, 2000 but you don't know how to differenciate between mobile and land line numbers in sg.
Now we have some “6” and “3” prefix using VOIP. I am thinking how do we know if it is really fixed line or using VOIP? U can have a “6” and “3” series ringing on your mobile phone and this consider fixed line or mobile line?
