8 is slow, and the experience can be frustrating waiting for their response. They are new, and they have a lean team, probably.

No problem if they are lean, but their deceptive behavior is unacceptable to me.

I port over at retail shop.

Actually official port over was 48hrs after I purchased the sim card. Will receive an sms saying successful port over.

At least this is faster than my Zero1, more data and got roaming. Network coverage also better after testing at the usual places I go to. Didn't test the speed but feels faster.

Just realized that if you used the free $8 credit promotion for the next billing cycle, you may get charged twice on your credit card if you turned on auto renew.

Thanks, hope they won't charge me twice because I recharge ahead of expiry and not let the auto renew do its work

I find the experience of using 8 is on par with vivifi, but slightly slower than giga when browsing youtube.
No problem if just using for messaging apps or spotify. I'm very impress with their free roaming though. Has been using it for taiwan and malaysia without issue.

i tried in HK and Macau
wah 2GB not enuff leh, need to quickly top up another GB

No you won't. If you have both $8 credit balance, and you also have your credit card details stored with them, and you have auto-recharge turned on, they will take the $8 from your credit balance first. They won't deduct BOTH your credit balance and from your credit card.

Like your own usage you dunno how to manage, gg. Eight makes money off people like you.

You need to login to your account, open your eyes, and see when exactly the next auto-recharge cycle will kick in. Then you'll have your answer.

Everything is clearly shown in your account page.

Eight doesn't engage in deceptive behavior, just people anyhow say without posting any evidence, and they also never read the FAQ and T&Cs.

You can be sure that if Eight DID indeed engage in deceptive behavior, smart folks would have bashed them in the forums here a long time ago, with actual screenshots and evidence.

Actually what you say is true, no matter what, it can never be more expensive than the MNOs. They really give Bill Shock its true meaning.

Login to My Account. Check under Billing, Recharge History, if there's double charge, email them at helpme@eight.com.sg (For now, that's the best way to contact them).

If I went ahead to use the $8 credit balance first before the auto renew kick in, will there be double charge?

 

[Hakuna Matata]

how much the postal? take how many to deliver?

For now, free delivery. In my case, 5 days for the SIM to arrive.
Sign-up with SP, My Info to ensure the delivery address is correct.
