[LancelotDuLac]

can only change from the $10 plan to Super roam Max $25 but cannot downgrade back to $10?

Abit stupid right, idea is to have flexibility for the plan as per usage for the month ahead

It won't work, maybe when they first introduced this device, Simba has not started biz yet.

MR1000 LTE/4G bands:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 14, 29, 30, 66
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/MR1100/MR1100_DS.pdf

Simba mainly uses Band 8 and 40. Though they also have Band 38. None of the Bands are listed for MR1000. It is specifically made for M1 plus the other 2 big Telcos that use Band 3 and 7 for their 4G.

Works fine in China, seamless.
Have to top up as China is not included in the groups that are bundled in any of the plans for usage.

EU and UK models have band 8, 38 and 40. If you are risk-taking enough, you can go google and see if there are any instructions to unlock those bands.

Currently on business 50 gb plan. $8/month.

renewal would be 20 jan. i understand it will deduct from the wallet or it will charge to the card on file if wallet empty. What happens wallet empty no credit card on file ?

how long will the line be active if never ’top-up’… when will I lose the number completely

It is included in the 1GB roaming. I am using it.

Simba data roaming didn't work for me in the previous trip to China in Oct. But works for me this trip (now).

 

[Youmigratecanotherscant]

read TnC... for $10 sim its 21 days of unlimited data at 0.1mbps after non payment if plan renewal fails.. afterwards line will be terminated..

Yes it’s Same 21 days terms here with unlimited throttled data.

Is this data good enough to make WhatsApp call and WhatsApp message ?

Simba runs on it's own network

A downside is that it has slow speeds even if its on 5G (slower than 4G of the other telcos).

I tried to search for Simba reception at home. I only find M1 and starhub (which I am using now)

SIMBA network is not for everyone especially so if you are living in a fast lane.
