Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring Simba APN settings.
- No data connection on Simba SIM
- Ensure the APN is set to 'TPG' (case-sensitive, all uppercase). Leave all other fields including username, password, and proxy blank. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off after saving. If the issue persists, reset network settings and re-enter the APN.
- Simba 5G not connecting
- Verify your Simba plan includes 5G access and your device supports the n78 band at 3500 MHz used for 5G SA in Singapore. Update your device software to the latest version. Set preferred network type to 5G in device settings. The APN 'TPG' works for both 4G and 5G.
- Data speeds are slow on Simba
- Check your remaining data balance through the Simba app. After reaching your data cap, speeds may be throttled. Ensure APN Protocol is set to IPv4/IPv6 for optimal performance. Move to an area with stronger signal coverage if speeds remain low.
Simba APN Settings FAQ
What is the correct Simba APN?
The correct APN for Simba Telecom (formerly TPG) in Singapore is 'TPG' entered in all uppercase letters. This is the only APN configuration needed for Simba mobile data. No username, password, or proxy settings are required. The APN name has remained 'TPG' even after the company rebranded from TPG Telecom to Simba Telecom in Singapore.
What are the Simba MCC and MNC codes?
Simba Telecom uses MCC 525 (Singapore country code) and MNC 12 (Simba/TPG network identifier). Some databases may list MNC 10 as an alternative code. Your device reads these values from the SIM card automatically. Manual MCC/MNC entry is only needed if the fields are blank in your APN configuration screen.
Does Simba support MMS?
Simba Telecom does not provide traditional MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). The carrier focuses on data-only services and VoLTE calling. For sending images and videos, use messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage instead. No MMSC, MMS Proxy, or MMS Port configuration is needed for Simba APN settings.
Is Simba the same as TPG Singapore?
Yes, Simba Telecom is the rebranded name of TPG Telecom Singapore. The company changed its name to Simba but continues to operate the same network infrastructure. The APN remains 'TPG' and all network settings including MCC 525 and MNC 12 are unchanged. Existing TPG subscribers were automatically migrated to Simba plans.
