I GOOGLED the address and first result showed BOON LAY BUS INTERCHANGE.

Any shopee voucher can apply?

Hey guys

nowadays no more lunchtime 50% promo (200coins back) hack.

So for this "top $20 get $5" promo ending tomorrow (22-Jan):

i top up using this seller at $20.40 but use 10% daily voucher to get back 204 coins
so is paying 40cents more but get $2.14 worth of coins

and also get back extra $5 credit from Simba few days later

Some shopee sellers dont charge extra $ but they dont accept vouchers

hence i think paying 40 cents more to get $2.04 coins back is better

Can also use $5 off $50 voucher if topup $60. I usually prefer to use direct discount rather than keep coins which need to keep for next round and may expire.

There is a slightly cheaper provider:

Is voice roaming important for you ?
What is the countries that you need data roaming for ?
Is Singtel 5G important ?

 

[ekardo]

7gb data only used 800mb for my 5days trip cos most of the time no connection or no mobile network.
Real disappointment for Simba in Vietnam HCM.
Ended up hooking to wifi in restaurants, cafe, hotel… as good as no network.

singtel 5g is good cos i know got coverage

voice roaming yes. I need for work

countries wise i think both covers well

Simba plan looks cheaper vs zym. If can work as well, why not. Simba also seem more established

 

[English Teacher]

simba when overseas can make calls and receive calls through volte right?

yes if the overseas telco have VOLTE too

you can search for SIMBA partner network below search box, i am sure it will connect and work.

SIMBA has come a long way since the early days when some traffic lights loyalist whined about poor coverage in mrt when inside tunnels. I don't know why it is such a big deal that people are prepared to pay 4 to 5 times more for traffic lights just to not get a poor signal when in a tunnel for what? a minute at the most? And it's not multiple times a day, only when you are in the train going to work or going home right

However, being cheap, SIMBA apparently does not spend enough on customer service, so if you have any problems, there is no hotline to call. You have to write in and it takes ages for someone to respond, and if the reply is not satisfactory, you write back, and it takes another century for someone to get back to you. In short, customer service is very poor compared with say Singtel.

i reckon its all about managing expectations. my wife and kids are on SIMBA after shifting from green camp and i have not looked back since.

$10 a month is god sent
