That's how strong his passion on the subject is.

2 cars of lunch group out for lunch, after makan chit chat so I guess that's how he got the info.

No cars. Just walked to the food court

Interesting findings.

Indeed no one in our lunch group members (all engineers , from 20+ to 50+ years old) uses SIMBA now.

1) SingTel with Mobile device contract x 2 (Samsung/ iPhone user)
2) StarHub legacy plan with Mobile device contract (Samsung user)
3) SingTel SIM Only -- that is me (not counting my other lines)
4) M1 BeSpoke SIM Only
5) Gomo 5G plan
6) VIVIFI legacy 4G plan (<S$10)
7) eight 4G S$8 plan x 2
8) One more to check but I know he is not using SIMBA.

Interestingly no one seems to have a secondary line except me and they don't seem to be concerned even after the SingTel issues. All will bring a bit of cash though to avoid payment issues.

I switched to SIMBA mainly because of the ultra smooth auto detection of Malaysia mobile network whenever I cross the borders. Other than that local network is nearly tolerable, if not I'd have to see which other telco lets me roam just as easily without even having to think/worry about upon foreign customs clearance.

It's fun to drive out. But then even the "don't drive take public transport" has gone on the LRT (finally?)...

Just enjoy your lunchbreaks then.

Whatever rocks your boat.

What to eat for lunch, and why, can also be a subject.

No lah, seldom talking about telcos. Most are not interested, other than the lobangs.

Last time in the late 90s or early 2000s: car, soccer, politics, stocks, etc.

Now: travels, politics, food, stocks, soccer, toto, all kinds of topics

Nowadays people are seldom talking about Fibre Broadband and Mobile services, unless encountering issues or occasionally looking at lobangs.

i talk about cheap plans - depends on who am i talking to ... but mainly talk about "life" in general like middle east crisis ], cost of living, lost of jobs (colleagues or friends)

I think @xiaofan really needs to step up his game and strike up conversations with shopkeepers, bus drivers, and Fairprice checkout clerks (among others) about what their mobile communications experiences are.

i just tell them they are "too" expensive my m1 is only $2x.xx

too expensive is one thing, i don't want ONR. If you give me ONT, packaged with Singtel TV with BeIN Sports channel, all for $29.99, then i can consider.

To many layman, they dun care. Some just want to watch tv shows.
