Anyone feel Simba's network coverage is still improving nowadays? It used to have noticeable improvements about a year+ ago, but more recently I keep struggling with the same few blind spots and things are not improving....

Is this 100GB apply to usage on either location - SG and MY, whereby the 3GB will apply only on this Roaming Group A.

Yes

Seems like Simba is heavily throttled with Celcom in Malaysia. 1st Result is through Simba roaming with Celcom, and 2nd result is through prepaid Celcom. Not sure it anyone else has this issue.

Edit:
And as previous comments stated, U Mobile seems to have a more usable* connection.

I also notice my roaming is a bit laggy occasionally in Johor for my SIMBA. But for $12 a month for 250 GB, I can't complain much.

For myself, I noticed Simba roaming network is Celcomdigi. VoLTE wasn't available. I have a Celcom prepaid, network is Celcom, and VoLTE is available.

My Vivifi roaming network is Maxis, VoLTE was available. In comparison to Simba, Vivifi wins.

What's your primary choice?

I don't know. Too KS and ordered sim card the moment they announced the news, pick up only next week

Not yet, after I left Midvalley, everything seems ok

What's your primary choice?

It has been Celcom, TBH I am lazy to manual search

 

[GJN]

U mobile better. Definitely not me. The only place where I get strong signal from U Mobile compared to Celcom and Maxis is 2nd link.

This was my phone's Celcom settings while at JB which seems to lag ... Did you guys opt for 5G instead of LTE?

I set mine to 5G Auto and turn on Data Roaming 24/7 now.

Even with my Hotlink prepaid line, I feel setting to 5G Auto helps to detect and connect to network faster.

Ok, my phone is "POCO X6 5G" but it auto select "LTE" maybe next time I try to select 5G and see how.
