SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[KDisGOAT]

Hope Simba really gives Ultra 5G speed.

Other Telco only 5G+. Ultra means something.

I think the terms "Ultra" means nothing special but just ordinary 5G SA. In other words, "Ultra" just to make you feel good.

So I guess I shall wait for the rest who changed to report back if there's any special improvements from changing to new sim.

I'm also getting umobile 5g ultra in Malaysia while roaming on simba. My Sim card is like 2 years old at least.

So the service center staff just issue new sim card without having to handover the old sim card?

The activation process requires old sim card in phone?

Yes, SIMBA Service Centre staff issue new sim card without having to handover the old sim card. Once new SIM card is issued, you will receive a SMS from SIMBA telling you that a New SIM Card is issued, please activate with the link.

No, activation process don't require old SIM card in phone. You just need your Singpass and the URL Link sent via SMS to activate (along with some form of data or WiFi). However the SMS will be sent over to the old SIM card.

I just changed it just now, the staff activated from the system. this one is physical sim hor.

for my other number that's using eSIM then it is auto change to 5g ultra liao. also when check using sms no.5, said ultra already.

I can use 5G no issue with current sim. Unless I see someone reporting SA with new card and speed, I won’t bother changing, although there is a SIMBA shop nearby.

SIMBA Notice: SMS 5G to 1218 to check if your SIM is 5G Ultra ready. For FREE upgrade, visit any SIMBA Service Centre (simba.sg/collect) for your SIM swap. Enjoy exclusive Samsung 5G deals too. Thank you.

Ultra what? Ultra slow? Ultra disappointing?

Ultra inferior to other telcos?

Dun think it will be any better than now. They don't have the bandwidth.

Im using it to stream music and is working well. Dun see the need to change the sim card yet. Dunno will it get better or maybe worst.

 

[BBCWatcher]

I'm waiting for 4G Ultra.

Mine also physical SIM. Means the staff smoked me lor. But he guided me step by step on my phone to activate the new SIM at the counter so everything went well still.

Moving on to 6G Elite Pro Plus Max Ultra soon.

Just replaced my sim card to 5G Ultra one at Kaki Bukit. The staffs there are very friendly and helped to activate the new sim card on the spot with Singpass. Tested the speed once with 5g/4g. I get 143Mbs for 5G and 70Mbps for 4G.

 

[Habrosus]

Friend went to Jalan Membina or whatever service centre that's across from Tiong Bahru Plaza.

Was told they can't do anything there coz they've not received the new cards.

He Ultra at the .

Wonder where else now.

 

[hwsstx]

SIMBA is set to launch 5G Ultra ?...“5G Ultra” likely refers to the 5G Standalone (SA) network.

Pretty obvious, IMO.

Much like priority and whatnot, or like what one told my friend x2 x4 speeds, making him so excited at the higher cost they offered him. But OK lah, got money to throw and happy happy can already.
