SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[JT2008]

3GB when you are on the road using GPS, Google Maps or just googling for information is definitely enough.

Most cafe and Shinkansen have wifi if that's where you are doing your casual web browsing.
Connected to wifi when back in hotel to upload photos.

Happy holidays.

Edit:
Yes, tried before
And if you are traveling next month or later, your Senior plan will have more then 3GB due to rollover data

Lot of these hotels wifi does not have secure connection. Connected to these unsecured wifi are taking very high risk. DYODD.

When I travel overseas, only use mobile roaming data even the wifi connection is secure. You really don't know what are the infra behind the scene.

i don't really use public wifi, even when roaming, the security risks is high. When i was in china and japan, i tried connecting to their hotel wifi, my surfshark app told me it's risky as they analyse the wifi ssid has security flaws.

I always use 4G / 5G. If really no much data left, use vpn on wifi.

I'm not sure why you'd trust a cellular network more than a Wi-Fi network, or vice versa. Assume all networks are insecure. Then you won't be disappointed.

Many people have home broadband service, and they have home routers that support inbound VPN connections. Just make sure you know what you're doing when you set that up, and review your setup periodically.

Oracle Cloud offers a free tier that allows you to run one or a few ARM64-based virtual servers in one of their data centers for as long as you wish with up to 10TB of outbound network traffic per month. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out what you can do with that.

Oh Oracle offer free tier. So meaning i can setup tailscale net using their virtual server and set it as Exit Nodes? Like that i can use it as own VPN server.

You could also run a minecraft server if you wish to.



There's always a catch when something is free. Just take note of this and work under the assumption that it may not last.

Er,.. I can afford to pay for a credible vpn service. Haha. Why do it urself when u can use money to save the trouble?

Building your own got more satisfaction. You get more control.

Used to be a hobby to play with hardware and software. Not my interest to go deep anymore, though still very interested with 3C. So I’d rather spend me time on what I like to do. Haha.

What's a "credible" VPN service? How would you know it's "credible" and remains so?

 

[Jurong640]

No credible ones. Everyone aways boast how safe and good they are. The thing is, you already signed up with your email, they got a few details about you, how you surf the net.

Always just believe in yourself.

I wonder. Some people talk big. Dun use this and that cos ur privacy will be exposed. But irl, do they really not use them? Haha.

Hi, i bought a $10 lucky number from SIMBA on the $10 plan, so if i want to port out this number, need to pay 2nd month bill, and port out after 30 days is over. That is all right?

The 5G data is so slow in the west, feels like 4G, less than 10Mbps down and up.

I see, so meaning the price i paid of $10 is only 50%, and i need to go down and pay the other 50%, another $10, before i can even apply to port out. On top of the monthly bill of $10. So meaning just to get this lucky number and port out, pay like $40 total

No way to just do this payment online? I dont want to go down to their service center leh

Specifically Section 9.9 point b:

All Lucky mobile numbers are sold at a discount of 50% (unless otherwise specifically stated for special promotions), and the price that you pay is after the discount is applied. The discount is provided on the condition that you continue with a valid mobile plan with SIMBA for a period of 24 months from the activation of the Lucky mobile number). The discounted amount will be chargeable to you if you request for porting-out or your mobile plan is terminated for any reason whatsoever, before the expiry of the period of 24 months from the activation of the Lucky mobile number.

Specifically Section 9.9 point b:

Apparently not. And payment via PayNow at their counter where they'll show you the QR code.

But that's last year and before, so you might want to contact them to see if you can pay without looking at their faces.

Specifically Section 9.9 point b:

I bought a lucky number a few months back and ported out without any penalty. However I did write to them to confirm 1st which they did. Suggest you write them also to make sure. Good luck!
