SIMBA FAQs

Why did TPG change its name to SIMBA?
Many people still search for SIMBA under its former ‘TPG Telecom’ name, but the name change is reportedly because SIMBA wanted to refer to the ‘Lion City’ nickname for Singapore.

Which network does TPG use?
SIMBA uses its own mobile network, the SIMBA 5G network.

Is SIMBA better than Circles.Life?
SIMBA is a mobile network operator that offers competitively priced plans with included roaming data. Circles.Life runs on the M1 network and has more plan options, including data-only plans. Both mobile providers offer plans worth comparing.
