SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

i think is not limited to Simba i have not seen the function on my samsung

for simba have to sms 4 to 1218 to activate the blocking of international calls, M1 maxx have to do it on the app

There should be a way to see what calls were blocked and set exceptions

 

[iceoxfch]

If possible to up budget to $120, recommend redmi a2+

Runs android go edition, so performance should still be bearable even with low-end specs

Agreed. Tried a demo and it's surprisingly fast given its specs. Redmi A3 has appeared on IMDA's certification page though. Wait if you don't need it urgently.

ZTE Blade A33s works with SIMBA. $68 only at Challenger Lazada.

anyone blocked overseas calls yet? Now you can block overseas call to prevent scams. Mandated by govt to telcos to safeguard residents

The robot scam calls now spoof local mobile number. No country code, just mobile numbers starting with 8 and 9.

Target a million, bound to get at least one or two who will fall for scam calls.

IDD for me is deducted from my Account Balance ie eWallet.

As long as there are still balance I can still make IDD.

Normally the eWallet is zero balance, so I'll need to top-up the eWallet to make IDD.

I can confirm that, shows full bar but the speed can sometimes slow to a crawl.
