Saw a particular shopee merchant offers $60 & $80 credit topup. They didn't mention any promo.

Simba local speed has been decreasing recently and the ping is so high then even my video calls affected lagging

Izzit. I think depends on individual. But I heard 8 seems to be worse this year. Originally I was considering if wan jump ship to 8.

If just for local usage, Singtel MVNOs 4G/5G and M1 Maxx S$10 5G plan will be better than Eight 4G and SIMBA. And Eight S$8 4G plan is still a bit better than SIMBA S$12 plan based on my own testing.

On the other hand, SIMBA and Eight have one unique feature among lower cost plans -- free voice roaming. The other plans offering this feature are the expensive Starhub 5G Unlimited+ and 5G Platinum plans.

I am visiting South Fujian, China now. SIMBA S$12 plan is pretty good with 26GB roaming data and free roaming voice.

I have CUniq S$9.9 plan as well. It is not bad with 20 GB China data but no free roaming voice.

I feel that too. Previously Simba signal at my workplace pretty good. But for the past month, the signal is getting worse. Only like 1 to 2 bar signal....
Yup, I've Simba with Eight 5G and at times Maxx. Not uncommon to see Simba with lower signal bar...

But it's good for when I travel, so I can only 🤞🤞 that local connection will improve somewhat.

I'm just waiting to see if the signal gets better after the merger with M1... If still bad, I might consider porting out...
