I'm in $10 plan. Last two weeks I went to Indonesia, my data was deducted under the apac 12gb. Log into app to check, the 300gb only for SG MY Hk.

Now I logged into my app after update, it shows 300gb is SG MY ID... Lol.. But my apac data which was deducted remains deducted.

Not sure what's going on.

IIRC ID was only added recently, for $10 plan... Did you check before your trip?

For $10 Plan, 300GB is for SG, MY & HK - don't know why yours showing ID instead of HK.

ID Roaming is deducted from Asia Pacific is correct for $10 Plan

To make things clear for the promotion.

The previous round of promotion is every $20 top-up at Atrix, you get $40 Simba credits.

The current round of promotion is every $20 top-up at Atrix, you get $20 Simba credits + $20 Atrix voucher. I have already checked with the Atrix staff on the first day of promotion.

Yar, don't get scammed by this round of 1-1 topup:
Is $20 Cash = $20 SIMBA wallet + $20 Atrix Voucher

Wonder why Simba had to become so smelly this time.
Spoils their reputation for this kind of wordplay...

"1-for-1 recharge" is outright misleading based on similar past promos as precedent.
Using fine print to mislead own customers is not nice at all.

I wish simba prioritised improving the local network here rather than all these roaming deals
they can't really do much, as they are restricted by the number of airwaves, bands they bid and receive.

Singtel gets the most followed by the other 2 telcos. Simba is always on the losing end getting all the slow and weak airwaves available.

Selling point is roaming which disrupted the market.
Which likely is leveraged to then improve local infra, bid for spectrum etc. otherwise, where got money to upgrade, SG so ex!
i.e. SIMBA need more monies and time to hopefully improve.

I went on 10 may. And it's using my apac 12gb for $10 plan..

I checked the app then, and it shows 300gb is for SG MY HK. Now I check my app after update, it shows SG MY ID lol.. And my apac data remains deducted.

I'm not on the $10 Plan so I don't know what the app will list out. However based on SIMBA's website the $10 Plan is for SG, MY & HK.

Probably happened after your trip then.

What's on our app is different from that on their website. 🤷‍♂️

Well they did report a profit last year sooo...

Simba came in late after most of the 5G bands are allocated to the 3 telcos. What to do?
There are still some bands available but I guess they don't want to bid for them right now as bidding means they have to get x% coverage over singapore as part of the deal.
