I agree in comparison Zero1 is the better package. I'm someone who change SIM provider every few mths just for fun comparison as it's my second line so will see what comes up next.

I also keep changing, just ported to M1 Maxx $14 cause got 2gb for MY but network as usual not that good for M1, likely to port to Vivifi next month

A quick question.

Can i port over to simba elder (my mom name) plan a line currently under a different name?

From what I know if a line is under a different name, it can't be done if that line's owner is not over 60. For senior plan, Simba will ask you to go to one of their physical outlets to verify eligibility.

I also just port to Simba - $12 de. Yeah signal strength differs from area to area. The only plus point for Simba is 5G at same price and also HP call HP - Free. Tok until HP explode haha.

A quick update review here on Circles 5G vs Zero1 5G.

I have both on dual sim on my phone. 

Zero1 5G using Singtel 5G infra beats everyone else hands down in terms of coverage and seat of pants speed. 

Circles 4G itself is fine, but once you switch to 5G with autoswitch to best connection, that's where you start encountering the mobile data disruption when in area of spotty 5G coverage. The phone will hunt for and switch to the stronger signal (between 4G and 5G) constantly. It is only when I start using Circles 5G then I know there is such a thing as 4+G....😅

But must say the only reason I am keeping the circles 5G is for the 2GB roaming to regional countries. Been very useful in my recent Macau/HK trip.

IMHO.
I still keep a Simba 5G to tell me how bad it is for me. 🤣
My $10 plans are Heya and Zym.

Just to make some noise and let people know. If you subscribe to M1, they will have this add on '5Go access' bundled in free for 1st year. Then they charge you $2 per month. You try checking how to disable? They will teach you go setting but never mention if the monthly charge will continue. You will have to call and queue for hours and you won't be able to speak to a human. They just want your $24 per year lah.

My budget phone UMIDIGI also not listed. What does it mean ? Maybe the list is incomplete.

It's now on 4G zero1, with VoLTE. I wonder what "other function" is not working, as they mentioned.

If the device is not on the list, then it would not support 4G/5G VoLTE as it mentioned. Then have to move to other telco provider liao?!

Just ported my Zero1 number to Simba $10 plan and here's my quick review:

Can immediately self-collect sim card on same day after application - good.

Port in number effective within 12 hrs after collect sim card - very fast.

Simba 5G speed according to speedtest app is actually only 10-30Mbps range which is on par or slower than 4G speed from previous Zero1 (Singtel network). For comparison, real 5G speed from Singtel is at least above 100Mbps.

Numbers aside, it's still ok to stream video, songs and normal browsing so no difference.

Patchy signal coverage - no signal inside my estate carpark so I can't start GPS navigation before driving off. Have to exit carpark then will work.

In conclusion, $10 for 100Gb data is cheapest rate around so mai hiam buay pai lah.

Simba 5G.. I'm using. Certain area I can get 100mb. A few other sites can hit 50 over mb. Not bad for $12 plan haha.

Yeah my Zero1 also down at 11+ just now. Can't make payment after I ordered my drink at the coffee shop. Haha. Luckily I am regular, they told me to pay them back later.

[Blueray]

ya, zero1 no data from around 1130am onwards.
