Just a simple review on SIMBA.
- Outdoor coverage is OK but still not as good as the big 3s.
- Indoor coverage is poor especially in those new buildings. Those major malls/old buildings is 1-2 bars lesser than big 3s. New buildings is between no signal to 2 bars.
- Underground coverage is slightly better than SingTel/GOMO during peak hours but it depends on MRT lines and stations.
- Average network speed is about 25% of the the big 3s.
- Voice call can be unstable on different models (I have both iPhone and Samsung).
- Roaming is pretty straightforward, restart your device once landed. It will search for the available network automatically.
- Customer support is slow but they will get back to you most of the time.
Conclusion: Cheap, but not suitable to use it as the main line.
1. I have 5G outdoor coverage most of the time. Other big 3 seem to have good coverage but that's due to 3G. wait till it is off and all the load goes to 4G
2. That's on the building management to contact simba to install 4G/5G router. Simba has VoWifi. If coverage is poor, just connect wifi to receive calls.
3. You can't do **** on gomo during peak due to lowest network priority, even if there is signal bar
4. You don't speedtest all the time. It is already sufficient to watch videos. Network capacity is more important and simba has that over other telco with more subscribers. Try to play videos on a crowded place, the higher speedtest results of gomo wont help you
5. You are holding your iphone wrongly.
It is the main line for many people for many years.
