Just back from my trip. Between me and wify, covered 3 countries. All no problems except once in a while I had no signal. 

Lion King 万岁!  For only 12 dollars each month. 

Yup.. The  $12 plan is worth it.. upgrade from $10 plan before my travel plan . Don’t have any issue when in Eastern Euro..

No contract SIM prices seems to have increased for both Singtel and Starhub.

To make up for the lost subscribers? I moved 3 Starhub lines.

Even Business Times reported a few days ago on the aggressive pricings of the new comers stealing old dinosaurs' lunch.

Hmm.. is this a risk of using esim?

Ported to eight. Free mail delivery in few working days is a plus.

not sure about now, 3 months ago even i already added my credit card (step 1), i still have to top up the credit (step 2), then log in by getting a pin (step 4) apply to the credit to the account (step 4).

my line expiring tomorrow and i let my son have it in msia today, the data can't use it today, and since i dun have the sim card with me, i can't make payment!

i thought so too but the line got cut off in August, went to their service shop and the guy guided me to do the above steps. I one time pay for 3 months and now expiring but I can't pay cos the sim card not with me to log in.

Can set auto recharge for monthly payment in the account setting. 

As for my case I have two lines under eight. So i topped up $40 cash each line at the eight.com retail shop the last time I dropped by there. 

[Lala81]

Auto recharge means auto bill right? 

Lol I dunno why they want to make the terms fancy. If like older folks really become confused.

I believe more like auto deduction. 

Agreed why need such an additional step when CC number or surplus balance(cash) already sitting in the account.

And finally I got very bad experience with Simba.

The number is less than 30 days, data was running out. I tried porting over to Gomo and it failed. Gomo also extremely difficult to contact. Keep sending you to FAQs.

Simba promised 5G has no reception, except on 4G. The price for 300GB is same as Gomo and Giga 5G. So Simba is no cheaper, except I can't get 5G. Tried to contact Simba by email. They send one to ask for more info, then stopped there.

And finally, I got fed up with Simba, and terminate the line after 30 days. They already charged my card for next cycle. Fxk them. I'll no longer touch Simba.

IMHO.
Simba not suitable for everyone.  Also challenging for me to get 5G at my home location. My office location, got 5G,  but not responsive - can disconnect.
