Just realised my kids Zero1 plan has been changed to 100gb and 2gb asean roaming. 

It was nice to see somebody using Zero1 so am collecting Zero1 this afternoon for mum to try 4G/100GB/2GB/$7.

If works well then may finally switch out my own SingTel after ~18yrs to their 4G/$228GB/3GB/$10 line that would save me a fortune.

yeah even when my kid travels, she can only use her HP at certain times of the day.
So the non Asean data wont really be an issue as can just use wifi or hotspot. 
Save that $1/month vs Eight. Still worth it for me lol.

You had me a little worried there about non-ASEAN roaming so I had to go over and check...... even their roaming rates are less than ST. Where ST want $40, Z1 wants only $24 so this is also good.

Looks like I may have to give this one a try.

With the general cost of living keeps edging higher and higher, people are beginning to look for cheaper alternative.

Data, internet access is something they can do with less.

Simba hit the right strategy.😁

So far, Simba is the only one that offer $5 data-plan only. I expect more to follow and play catch-up.

Growing the number of subscribers is the key.

Simba mobile, data and broadband pricing quite attractive. If their network is good, surely can get more customers to jump ship to them.

Eight.com can't make it at mandai crematorium. So laggy even for mcf webpage. Short clip at YouTube need at least 20s, 30s to stream the clip. 

Hmmm...

No coverage at Mandai Crematorium may be deliberate. 
Visitors are supposed to reflect on the loss of the dearly departed.

Topped up $28 for all my 3 lined and received the $10 credit instantly. 

Do beware once you topped up it literally mean you are tied up (literally) with eight for the next few months.
