SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[Habrosus]

I believe most telco plans can achieve that especially during non-peak hours, just that Simba does not offer the cheapest call plans, it always remain at $10 as lowest making it less attractive than others that can go as low as $5+-$8 for best deal. I like Simba though for its Voice app but will be thrilled if it has a lower price call plan. As for your case, since you are using an iPad which has no call function, Simba $5 data plan may be a better deal?

Oh yes, it's the $5 data only plan. Got confused with the $10 in my phone.

Thanks to that 20+20 promo, I'll be attending the 2026 party .

You win, at $2.50 per month.

Hmm, this ads can apply to all telcos with $10 and below plans. The comparison it makes with MNOs plans with phone package are outdated and irrelevant. Eight, Zym, Zero1, Vivifi, MR (not consider 12mths promo plans and CL here which is very unpredictable with their terminology of forever) all has <$10 plans.

Well, I feel it's more targetted to those that are on legacy, contractual telco plans from the other MNOs, which I believe are a significant portion still.
Even just having them off to SIMBA is a sizeable amount to target at I believe.

Still, the ads is really lame, those on expensive plans probably also knows about other telcos cheaper offer, they will jump ship long ago if they could or want. Guess Simba just goes through motion of advertising just to make themselves seen.

No ah, I was like you till I noticed that actually such group do not know of SIMBA much less MVNOs, with such cost savings possible.
Those that know should/would have already signed up for such cost savings than traditional MNOs plans/contracts.

Where is the place? I am interested to know. Thanks.

So far I have not got such good results from Eight 4G. And even for Singtel 4G, I have only got one result at 250+ Mbps.

I do recall hitting 300mbps on zym 4g previously

Simba line can't make nor receive calls suddenly.

What should I do? Already checked APN and restarted phone numerous times.

just tried, i can call landline.

 

[Habrosus]

i can call out now.

Mine still can't, neither in nor out.

Data seems to be working, though.

Suddenly, only realized when I wanted to make a call earlier.

Yes there are reports that people can hit even 400 Mbps using SingTel network with Singtel MVNOs.

I guess these places are the places I don't normally go to (eg: East side and North side). Maybe next time I will try Bishan and Toa Payoh.

on some occasions, calling out failed.
I had to reinitiate the call again.
Only faced this issue with Simba.
Makes me think if I should go back to eight.

I've been trying since I first realized hours ago, still neither in nor out.

You're right, such an issue I've read about in the past is mainly with Simba. Maybe I should think about porting out as well.

Actually what are the main advantages of SIMBA S$12 plan over Eight 5G S$14.80 per month plan, other than being cheaper?

Even Eight 4G S$8 per month plan seems to be usable if I lower my expectations.

Eight $11.80 is designed to match Simba $12, $14.80 just adds 5G. With that in mind, only advantages left is the additional roaming countries, wifi calling overseas and voice app.

Thanks.

I am thinking whether I want to get a SIMBA S$12 per month plan to try out roaming performance for my upcoming short China trip in mid December, in Comparison to my Eight S$8 4G plan.

I only need a bit of data. Voice call is good to have so Maxx is not that suitable.

For local use, I actually feel my Maxx S$10 plan is pretty good, even with minor glitches (occasionally need to airplane mode and then get back 5G SA).

Simba $10 has 3GB data with Group A which covers China. But given just $2 difference, $12 plan does gives quite a bit more data.
