Battery consume faster on 5G?

I haven't noticed any significant increase in battery usage since switching to 5G. This is likely due to advancements in newer phone devices, specifically:

• • Improved hardware (modem efficiency)
  • Improved software (intelligent 4G/5G switching)
  • Increased battery capacity (for new device)

These upgrades minimize the battery drain associated with 5G connectivity, making the impact negligible.

It will be the same everywhere during perk hours

Not really. I have a secondary line with SIMBA and every time my ZYM data goes down in the MRT tunnel, the SIMBA line remains alive.

So yeah, I think some MVNOs fare better than others at peak hours or areas. ZYM was alright initially but the dropped connection has been getting more and more frequent recently.

I am using Poco X6 pro. Is it only me but I find the 5G network quite weak for the last few weeks.. Fed up just turn to 4G default

Works fine on mine though, didn't notice any weak signals/connectivity personally.

Will be interesting if imda pay attention to this

But on technicality, his account was compromised before leading to a Sim swap attack. Lacking MFA is truly on giga, they can't run

Hi,

i am currently on MyRepublic 5g plan and looking to switch to Giga because while i like the myrepublic (starhub 5g) coverage, sometimes i get weird errors like iMessage and facetime is disabled for this number (i use a physical sim) as though the sim card number is no longer my number. This error tends to go away after 1 day though.

i dont really travel to SEA / taiwan so the added roaming is not really a big factor. Just want to enjoy the same 5g coverage with less weird errors.



can anyone share if
1.you face a similar problem on giga with iphone?
2. any difference in 5g user experience in crowded areas by past MR 5G users? I understand they are both starhub 5g SA but does APN configuration play any part in network prioritisation? Myrepublic APN is which is the same as starhub but i understand giga has its own APN.
3. i do travel to China for work regularly and this would be my main line. Anyone experience any issues with receiving sms and calls in countries without the free roaming data?

thanks!

giga does not support any incoming or outgoing calls when roaming.

Do you offer roaming calls and SMS packs?
We do not offer roaming calls and SMS packs. Only roaming data services is allowed on the giga plan. Good News! You'll be able to receive incoming SMS for free not just in our 48 supported roaming destinations, but in more than 230 destinations!


MR 5G supports.
