Eight Telecom discussion thread

[froztheart]

folks, I'm currently holding to their free trial sim. if should I decided to port in my current line for $8 , do I need to sign up new line or can use the existing line?

If you glance through the previous sharing, for those without x2 SIM limit, direct port in is available.
For those already with x2 SIM, require to terminate x1 of the SIM and then port in once termination is completed by Eight.

I ported in 2 lines for my family members and received and activated the eSIM. But till now almost a week still haven’t get any port in successful sms notification.
i emailed helpme@eight.com.sg also no reply yet.
What would be the implication as both of them are overseas now?

Have you tried logging into the accounts to check the status?

This free 2 sim card is when ending? End of this month or year?

if u have gotten it you can check the ending date on your eight account but if you have not now i think only online can do (not sure if service center can help assist. if they can, u can still get it) before 31 july.

Based on personal experience and also others, your Singtel line ought to show No Service by tonight latest by 1130pm.

wishing you a seamless transition

does eight has their own apps?

They have an App on Google Play store (Android devices) now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isoton.Eight

Have tried, able to login and UI is exactly the same as web portal on mobile browser.

However, need to login with SMS OTP each time you use/open the App, as it does not save the login details (for now at least).
Basically the App is the same as web portal.

Got to visit them only if you've outstanding payment, like wanting to port out within 30 days of line activation, or having their lucky numbers for less than 12 months.

Lucky number is 24 months, right?

Oh, my bad. I paid off after only a couple of months at most, so didn't really keep the duration in mind. Thanks!

How to see if the app's officially from Eight, or written by someone else?
