SIMBA Telecom discussion thread

[Jurong640]

so is there any advantage to changing to new SIM?

feel like delaying it as long as I can.

won't suddenly lose signal one day if never change right?

You should say about disadvantage of changing to new SIM instead.

Sooner of later, you will need to change the sim.

Right now the new sim is able to tap on Simba 5G SA network.

Scary siol! I searched the same thing and also got the sponsored phishing site as the top result. Jin crafty siol! Replace letter "m" with "rn".

Already gotten the new Sim. And an SMS to activate it. But it brings to a link where need to enter NEW ICCID and Document ID which they say information sent to email.

But nothing is sent to email. Not even in Spam.

ICCID is the sim card number

They have free WiFi

I've been using these WiFi to login MyNIISe for QR Code scanning when I arrived by bus.

There are 3 WiFi Networks: "Wifi Premium Johor 1, 2 & 3" - all same password but at CIQ Exit from JB, all very weak coverage till non existent - I think similarly for vehicle zones too.

I've been using these WiFi & logging in to MyNIISe is smooth, when arriving by bus.

That NSL underground MRT ride is difficult even for Singtel network (even during off-peak time). No need to talk about SIMBA...

I have better lucks with StarHub Prepaid S 5G legacy plan than my Singtel S$15.28 SIM Only plan for NSL. But my Singtel S$15.28 main line is better for EWL underground MRT stations. So I use StarHub Prepaid S plan as the backup for local usage.

MyRepublic 5G plans use StarHub infrastructure, so I tend to think it is a good choice.

Since I do not usually take MRT during peak hours (daily commute to work using public bus), I am not so sure how good MyRepublic 5G plans will be for NSL during peak hours. I tend to believe it will be a difficult one for all networks during peak hours.

Reference: my test results for EWL and NSL. There are more detailed results in the Singtel SIM Only thread and StarHub Prepaid thread.

Data speeds in train stations are serious business

Even you move to the most expensive SingTel plan you still gonna face the peak hour horror speed..

 

[droidlover5000]

Very surprised with the usable speed simba provides in the sengkang east area. Used to be an eight user and it had issues using apps that generate a qr code to pay for a discount in some areas like Rivervale mall. With simba, these issues are no more, atleast not as annoying as using eight.

I remember using simba 2 yrs ago and really cmi. I suppose either there have been upgrades to the infrastructure or too many users ported out of simba

Of course, some areas like outside yishun northpoint near the bus stop, data stops loading. But I don't wait too long for the bus to come so it's not really an issue. I only transport by the bus so I can't say anything about mrt connectivity

 

[pohu]

Has Simba's coverage at underground MRT lines improved?

The NSEW (old) lines really CMI in between the station when in underground

SIMBA
local sg mobile data = worst signal, either 1 bar or no bar signal.
overseas roaming data = depending on overseas partner provider, signal seems acceptable (e.g. China, Vietnam, HKG, Macau, Indonesia Etc)

Well, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Looking at those from aunty Lucy vs those in Skechers outlets, I won't bother.

They have on display at the booth. Black and white 2 colors. It's those easy slip on walking sneakers with shoe lace. Looks quite good imo. Quite tempted.
