Eight Telecom discussion thread

[xsoldix]

First time went into Jb to use eight APAC roaming data.
used a total of 1.7GB today.

Am pleased with the coverage of MAXIS 4G.
Speed is ok and minimum 2 bars.

- Jb city square
- KSL (massage shop)
- 1 km outside of KSL
- Mid valley

All good.
Real world usage, did not take speed test / ping speed etc.

I see from eight website that Ubi Service Centre only operational during weekdays? Anyone tried going during weekends before?

Worth a try, since the shop that the service centre is operating out of opens from 10AM - 10PM.

Port in can only be done upon new sign up right? Can it be done after getting the free SIM card?

yeah hence wanted to know if anyone managed to get any eight services done during the weekend since the shop is opened daily.

Agreed. Change from zym to eight due to this 8gb.

I read feedback. can port over using exist sim from eight. but need to terminate the other line if one has 2 lines

Had a very bad experience at the lucky plaza service center, if you guys can avoid, best to avoid.
So long story short, i went down to the lucky plaza service center and was served by the guy manning the store, i asked i want to port in and asked if he needs the activation code which i received when i sign up for port in online. He said no. He then proceeded to perform all the KYC process and then informed me that i already had 2 numbers when i only had 1. He proceeded to terminate the one i had and proceed to continue with the port in. After all the process is done, he asked me to pay $8 but i already paid $8 when i signed up online. He said should told him its pick up and not port in, 2 different thing. But isnt port in what i want to do? Then i asked what to do now? And whether the port in has been triggered?
He said to come back on monday and i left without the sim card.
Also to note that the people there isnt friendly and is just outright rude. Suggest anyone who wants to port in to just head to ubi service center. Went there and it got settled within 5mins.

Ubi service center also operate on weekends if anybody is asking.

Once i insert the temporary sim card. It says port in request is unsuccessful. Anybody faced this issue before?

Received email from simba that my line is terminated @ 11PM.... but it says port in request is unsuccessful in the afternoon from eight telco. Anybody facing this issue before? Ubi boss recommend to speak to simba to find out more.

Port-in failure is normally due to the doner telco not releasing the line, so in this case eight couldn't proceed. Yes, I'd check with Simba first.
