SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[lohsenglte]

im in ph now and i just tested. i could make call to sg number using the voice app. not sure if free tho.

Included in call bundle. So yes. Only thing to note is you might be incurred data charges (if exceed plan bundle)

No wifi?

got wifi, just that my mom said that she wants to save on the mobile monthly fees so she is looking to change to this, how about roaming? is there such a service on simba? roaming as in if the user is not in sg she is still able to call or use the line.

Just ported in via an Authorized Dealer today
Just moments ago, my SIMBA sim just got activated
However. I can't log into My SIMBA App with my existing number that starts with 9xxxxxxx?

Do I have to wait for a few days?

No.

I ported in yesterday afternoon from circles life. Simba started working after 0800 hrs today but that's when I woke up. The app said it went operational after 12 midnight

Owner very arrogant, on fb with that long ass telco named group that will ban you if you have differing opinions.
Probably lurking in HWZ too. lol

Yup, IIRC owner is Harold CH.

oh this fb group terrible one. Super not friendly.

Yup, all you see is mostly request you to do speedtest and post screenshot results. go here do speedtest, go there do speedtest, travel overseas post speedtest...

simba is best liao. free 1gb overseas data for use with 50+ countries. if exceed about $4 per gb which is cheaper than singtel. can receive sms and make local voice calls when overseas.

Agreed with you to the max!

Beyond the free 1GB Roaming data. $4/GB - charge per 10MB block is quite reasonable and that we usually don't use too much data while overseas!

I just signed up a $10/100GB/1GB Roaming Data plan, picked up and activated my SIM card over the counter 1/2 hour ago and waiting for porting tonight!

MY130 Plan: (Exclusive online)

At 11am, I done my registration through online.
At 12:20pm, I went over to Orchard Central to collect my activated SIM card.
Now porting is in-progress and let's see how long is the porting process.

 

[Cyborg]

Well! at about (tonight):

2300 hrs: Current telco line will be terminated.
2359 hrs: (By 2359 hrs.) You SIMBA Port-In should be completed and you can start using your Port-In number on SIMBA!

I'm expecting the same tonight from Giga to SIMBA for my SIM-Only 100GB Plan!

Well, let's just wait and see although staff mentioned that it takes about 2 working days. (Simba's safety factor)
Btw, I am also porting from Giga to Simba.

The guy is not open to other ideas and as long as you are not in the same frequency, he will block you off.

Can someone confirm the steps to get SIMBA eSIM? Looks like some were able to get it.

Wah you need to calm your expectations down. Later you kena your workplace and home both 1 bar signal and 1mbps speed.

Actually it is true.

I just started using Simba today. A bit slow compared to circle's life but ok la considering the costs.

But network coverage seems spotty. I was at SAF yacht club and there was no network there. But hope the rest of Singapore has coverage.

 

[Crayon Shinchan]

if I understand SIMBA have free roaming call overseas? only to simba number?

Tried asking they said not available yet.
Have not tried going down physically to request though.
