Seems like many using or port to eight. This eight really so good ah?

Zero1 was working well for me.. the switch to eight is for the roaming, as it will save us the hassle when we travel overseas for holidays.  I ordered my eight SIM online on Sunday morning, just received the SIM by mail today, and activated it online.  Think the number porting will happen tonight.

Even not due to the roaming that eight give. Their free talktime, data GB and SMS etc given are better than Zero1. And it is only $1 more ex than Zero1. Seems like eight is the best deal now. Last time is Zero1 best deal.

To simply.

S good 

M bad

Reminds me of the scientist who wanted to know if Sulfuric acid was sweet, sour, salty or bitter and so he drank some.

He wrote S and then died.

Because of him we know Sulfuric acid is not bitter.

Any Simba user here using Oppo Reno 7z 5G ? My kid hp is this model - on Simba $10 plan. But when ever go in JB - the roaming signal is always 3G at best. Tried a few times liao - same. Power off - on. But my other kid HP on Simba - but 4G HP Redmi Note : Roam - signal is good - ok when go in JB.. Funny

Thanks to bros here, got a eight plan for cctv in in law place that have no broadband.  cheap to operate but signal strength of the cctv in bedroom weak...(phone placed in hall).  does having a wifi extender works? Im not sure if phone can link up the extender.

in the end whats the point of 100GB vs 200 vs 300. as if can finish. more importantly for me is coverage and stability of network.

I am using Oppo Reno 7 5G. 
No issues with Simba in JB or other parts of Malaysia. I can receive 4G or 5G signals.

Thanks bro. Is this type with external antenna better than those portable ones without? In terms of signal strength....
