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.

 

Only problem I get with Simba is incoming calls sometimes caller cannot hear me and I have to call them back. 

Data never an issue. I don't care if it's 4G or 5G. Whatever speed is sufficient for me. 

For 12 bucks can't complain compared to the 20 I paid starhub with zero roaming.

They will accuse me, it's my fault. For not knowing you cannot port out within 30 days, maybe I have to read the 100 pages T&C. 😠

Simba used to compete on price. Then they say, use me, 5G is free !  But you can hardly use 5G, unless you move around and find a good spot to stay there.

I dunno about Giga or Gomo 5G experience. But I think if they advert 5G, you should get 5G.

Simba 300GB faux 5G =$18

Giga 300GB 5G = $18,  4G = $15 ($3 cheaper)

I choose Gomo 5G bcuz it's 600GB $20.

Both Gomo and Giga price for 4G is much cheaper, unlike the fake Simba 4G pretending to be 5G.

After terminating SH broadband, I'm now running 4G/5G SIM router as a replacement. But found out 300GB is not enough.

Well you learnt that too cheap is not good. Since TPG days already crap…

if your usage so high I think land broadband still better and more stable.

simba no contract, more than a year, something like special number previously (no extra payment made that time) so got some form of disconnection or transfer fee whatever they call it.

SH BB is $31. If using 5G Gomo 600GB, it's $21

If using 4G eight 588GB, it's $18

4G speed is ok for watching 4K TV. Plus remaining web usage, for me, it's about 400GB.

So still save about $10 per month, with no contract. 😁

When I got Gomo, I made the mistake to port the number from Simba. The number was not important to me, I just thought the lazy way to cancel Simba is port over, rather than make another effort to terminate it. And then I regretted the porting over.

Not sure how much you save, but you go through so much hassles to move around. I admire your willingness to try. 
have tried zero1 and now eight. So far so good. I will never touch TPG. The savings are not worth the intermittent network.

IMHO.
So far, besides @Kb27, how many here ditched fiber broadband to mobile ? 🤔

Simba I am using this as backup and oversea only. Anyway Telcos have t&c to cover their a5s.

I do not want to say comment on good or bad...Tested 5G using my flip at the same spot.

This is my SImba 5G speed.  Notice that I have higher upload speed. 🤣

[Volvobrick]

Curious so I ran the test too for Simba. It is faster than my home broadband WiFi....

My M1 hits 600mbps on 5G. But m1 5g/4g also flaky at certain indoor locations. Outside pretty ok.
