SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[twosix]

2-3GB per day is a lot of usage. Most people needs to watch many hours of livestream or videos then can use so much data. Waste money go oversea holiday to watch many hours of video?

Even if use for GPS to drive whole day also dun use 1gb. But there r people who will chill the whole day in cafes and watch Netflix. Haha.

Why SIMBA wanna follow those malaysia telco footsteps?

Most malaysia SIM plans are unlimited, but hide FUP small print in TnCs.
Even have peak hour / off-peak speed limit. zzz
When i was trying to buy, those unker/auntie keep telling me very good, unlimited...

the thinking is silly, one's behaviour does not equal to everyone's. one can work overseas and requires data to download stuff or doing video conferencing etc. Watching a 1080p (Full HD) YouTube video uses approximately 2 to 4 GB of mobile data per hour.

how one wants to use the roaming data given is on his choice. what matters is what is not given as compared to other MVNOs.

IF one telco has 500gb of data that can be used in bolehland, hongkieland, indo mee land etc.. but IF they have FUP, it is as good as advertising as 'unlimited' but in real it is never 'unlimited'.

other MNVO offers 588gb of local data and this data is truly usable in bolehland and other countries as advertised without FUP or speed limit.

1st May when checked, I had 2x the data. I just checked and it’s just the normal monthly data. Haha.

Any idea how the 2 months free for port in is handled ? Credit in main balance or something else ?

Yea, I just port in but haven't receive any confirmation of the free months or notification on how that is done.
So just curious of the details.

Typically port in take how long to process? Meanwhile how to log in to check?

Saw Facebook got ppl saying that after they used the roaming data for 2.5GB, their speed will be throttled to like 0.5Mbps kind of speed and before 2.5GB used up the speed is ok.

got such thing?

Yes, started from 1 May as i was staying at my fren jb place till now still the same, i observed as long as u exceed ard 2gb or so, they will cap ur speed to 500kpbs which is useless for most applications, any telco/mvno to recommend porting over for my roaming usage cos simba sucks now?

Can confirm, right after hitting 2gb my connection got throttled down to about 5mbps. Didn't get any notification about this new FUP.

Roaming in Thailand on True H, tried switching to dtac but same throttling.

Within 2GB

My mum do her port in to simba at the hp shop ytd.
When they reg they didnt ask for her contact number or email. Today her prev telco sim still work, simba sim dont work.

How will simba inform her if port in rejected if simba doesn't give a temp number?

Varies. I submitted Thursday afternoon, same night started porting already.
Weekends, Mondays & Public Holiday tend to be slower.

If Simba is practising throttled speed after hitting quota/day then it will be very disappointing. I presume it will affect only roaming data but if local data is affected too, then giving lots of data/mth becomes silly, though those countries that share local data allocation are definitely a joke now.

 

[twosix]

In Malaysia now. Just tested roaming. Yes, after 2gb or so playing utube, the speed drops to 5mbps.

I don't have this problem because I normally switch to my Malaysia line for data once I've settled down. Just say'in.

My wife port in last Sunday, and Simba account activated two days later

If roaming data get throttled to 5mpbs, then >500gb data allocated for local/roaming data with selected countries can only be used up for local data. Definitely a very misleading ads now.

On the other hand, 5mbps is still not that bad which can run 720p YouTube video, but Simba is definitely playing monkey tricks now.
