SIMBA FAQs

SIMBA is the not-so-new name for a mobile and internet provider that used to be called TPG. In terms of mobile in Singapore, SIMBA is one of four networks, alongside Singtel, StarHub, and M1. While it’s not yet 10 years old, SIMBA has followed in the footsteps of its Australian TPG roots: namely, competitive prices for internet and mobile plans.

If you want a SIMBA plan, there are several SIM-only options available. While SIMBA doesn’t typically offer any phones to pair with its mobile plans, SIMBA does support eSIM devices, and all of its plans include free International Direct Dial (IDD) call minutes.

SIMBA’s most expensive plan is the SuperRoam 39 SIM Only. It costs $39 per 30 days for 500GB of data. It also includes 700 local fixed-line and IDD minutes, 25GB APAC roaming data, and 8GB of roaming data for use in 60+ countries (or on selected flights). This particular SIMBA plan is effectively competing with 1000GB or unlimited-data plans in price point, but it's not the best value considering it only offers 500GB. See how it compares below.

SIMBA mobile phones and devices

Unlike Singtel, M1 and StarHub, SIMBA isn’t known for selling mobile phones with its SIM-only plans. That said, there may be occasional and limited phone bundles available for purchase at participating SIMBA retail stores.

SIMBA prepaid plans all offer 5G access, support eSIM, and have unlimited calls to local mobile, plus free SMS to other SIMBA mobile users. They also have 100 IDD call minutes to Myanmar and roaming data for use in 67 selected destinations. Prepaid data can be used in either Singapore or Malaysia for all plans, and also in Indonesia for any SIMBA prepaid plan from $12 upwards. Its low prices make SIMBA an excellent choice for kids and seniors.

The cheapest SIMBA prepaid plan costs $10 per 30 days for 400GB of data, 500 IDD and fixed-line local call minutes and 100 local SMS. It also comes with 12GB APAC roaming data and 3GB of international roaming data. There are cheaper prepaid plans from Singtel and Eight, but none of them have as much data (or 5G access).

It’s a similar story comparing SIMBA’s next prepaid plan with its peers, which are cheaper but offer noticeably less data. This SIMBA prepaid plan costs $12 per 30-day recharge for 500GB of data, 600 IDD and local fixed-line call minutes and 100 SMS. You also get 18GB APAC roaming data and 8GB of international roaming data.

SIMBA’s next prepaid plan costs $18 per 30 days for 500GB of base data, 800 local fixed-line calls and 100 local SMS. It also includes 400 IDD call minutes to 21 selected destinations, plus 30GB APAC data and 10GB of international data. Compared to its prepaid peers, this SIMBA plan is comparable to a Singtel plan, albeit with less data.

Similar to its SIM-only plan progression, SIMBA’s next prepaid plan comes with 600GB of data. It costs $20 per 30-day recharge and has 800 local fixed-line calls and 100 local SMS. This SIMBA prepaid plan also includes 50GB of APAC roaming data and 12GB of international roaming data, plus 400 IDD call minutes. That same Singtel plan is the closest competitor, though it has far less than 600GB of data.

Meanwhile, SIMBA’s priciest 30-day prepaid recharge is comparable to Singtel's Ultimate Monthly plans, without the unlimited data. For $25 every 30 days, it comes with 700GB of data, 800 local fixed-line call minutes and 100 local SMS. You also get 400 IDD call minutes, 80GB APAC roaming data and 15GB of international roaming data.

SIMBA mobile plan add-ons

There’s limited information online for SIMBA mobile plan add-ons, but SIMBA does offer an IDD call pack. The SIMBA Super IDD Pack costs $5 for the same 21 destinations included with its SIM-only plans, plus 3GB of local data.

SIMBA data roaming

All SIMBA mobile plans include data roaming for Malaysia and Hong Kong, taken from the at-home Singaporean data pool. Additionally, most SIMBA plans offer the same feature for users travelling to Indonesia and Thailand (except for the cheapest postpaid and prepaid plans). They also include different data allocations: the more you pay, the more roaming data you get to the 67 Group A destinations. Outside of plan inclusions for Group A destinations, it costs $4 per gigabyte. Charging is calculated per 10MB of data used.

SIMBA FAQs

Is the SIMBA network good in Singapore?
