Eight Telecom discussion thread

[Cedric7]

Deliver to mailbox. I got mine ytd. Just scan the Serial number of the sim and your activation code from email. 11+ eight inform me that my number was successfully ported over.

So u activate morning and at night ported over on the same day?

 

[Boringchap]

Update: Telco reported that unsuccessful, probably because network selected to port out is incorrect (chose StarHub). If anyone successfully ported out, please share your results. Really disappointed haha

Hi,

If it’s fine, care to share why you decided to port out after such a short period?
I’m thinking of porting in…

1) They never say anything about termination after free trial. It only say after the free trial, there will be 60 days grace period where you can only receive sms and no calls and data. It also say after 60 days passed liao, you still can still receive sms only. (My guess is the number will soon be in a pool available for new users to choose for registration)

2) Can sign up online and deliver to your house 3 - 5 business days. You are able to port to the $0 after you received and activate the sim card. The instruction on how to do it will be sent to your e-mail after your online registration.

3) it deduct from your wallet first. If wallet no money then it deduct from credit card. You can set up the recurring deduction from account login.

1) I have to terminate one of the free trial lines if I want to port in my number right? Because 1 ID can only have two lines. Can termination be done via email?

3) There is recurring card payment method now as well?

 

[ichinisan]

I don't think can. You need to go service centre . the lucky plaza I think.

Need ID to terminate of course.

If not how they know who you really is ..
You can also do port in after terminate the card there.

Yes. Got recurring card method.
When you click "Buy now" for $8 plan, on the left side you can select recurring charge also.

You got any question go and see the help section.

Saw the eight help section and I think termination can be done via email. Anyone can confirm?

It would be better if the termination can be done this way. Don't have to make a trip there lol

Termination can be done via email. They'll ask you for stuff like name and last 4 digits of ID, photo of back of SIM card or screenshot of your account logged in.

I applied to port in from Circles to Eight last Wed July-10. Immediately received email confirmation. Selected post delivery.

Until now not received.

 

[koreanlover]

Anybody visited their Lucky Plaza service centre around 12-1pm?
Need to wait how long?

 

[Nefalrin]

Anyone know if I get the free Sim from roadshow will they port in for me ?

Also If I applied 2 lines online already but the sim is not yet delivered to me, can I still get the free sim from roadshow ?

The delivery is very slow ..

I’ve been using eight for overly a month liao. Anyone has reviews on the line? Not much complains for me so far. Better than SIMBA for sure.

So confusing. In the eight speedtest group, the admin and same admin person using another profile keep sharing heya and SIMBA posts.. scared later I disagree will kenna kick and blocked or not.

There's another fb group on Starhub MVNOs. Its a bias group created by the moderator AR* to bash Eight and to bring up Simba instead of a sharing fb.

Haha. What is good about Simba? Got signal bar also no connection, 5G speed slower than others 4G. Roaming is unstable (in Malaysia seems ok, in china the speed can hardly send WeChat messags). The only advantage is inclusive international roaming, but seems unstable.

 

[keenklee]

IMHO.
How much is the additional roaming GB - can't seem to find on the webby. TIA.
