Same,same as last time ndp offer uh..

Oh, should be because of the $5 credit thing….. SIMBA Facebook says: SMS 1 to 1218 for the nearest recharge locations.

I think their SMS centre was flooded with messages and thus could have overloaded.

It is working when I retry at 12.45pm.

is your sim card in the correct slot that you send the sms in?

 

[Lustgan]

I can just recharge $40 one shot no need $20 2 time ah

 

[ekardo]

I haven’t finished my credit that I bought during NDP. Will likely skip this.

Wow... how much you bought? Haha.

 

[ekardo]

Wow... how much you bought? Haha.

I think $40 + $10...still left 6 months to slowly deduct..

buying another $20 will means another 5 months...better not commit..

 

[username03]

So every $20 will get $5.

So I do 4x $20 = bonus $20

Pay 80 get 20 = 100?

1. On people reviews on underground not good, this reviews are old reviews, and people spread it because people said it, and one by one spread. The most recent IMDA test on downtown line, singtel even failed it. SIMBA passed all test in underground, be it DTL, TEL, KPE, CTE or MCE. In fact, i feel Simba the strongest in DTL and TEL as these lines are newest and before it start operating, simba already worked with them to install the infra inside tunnel.

2. I guess you are on the 10GB malaysia plan. Simba currently don't have add on, but their data is pay per use. It cost $4/GB only. Moreover, it's pay as you use. Meaning, if you use 100MB, you be chared only $0.40. To start off before you go china, just top up your simba wallet.

The unlimited phone calls is for local mobile lines only. Calling back to Singapore is also free. However, some countries do not support volTE yet hence you can't call back. To resolve this issue, you have to download Simba voice app to call back Singapore. If your network at home is weak, you may use voWIFI (your home wifi) to call out. VoLTE or voWIFI is actually just using 4g/wifi network to make phone calls, different from whatsapp calls.

Below from simba website​

For China data roaming, seem like Simba is almost the cheapest data already, aside from M1 data passport, which pay 35 and use up to 15gb which take from local data.

Is there a way to contact their engineer or so? The signal strength in my office building is super weak and it become no services from time to time. Emailed their support and get those standard crappy replies.
