Eight Telecom discussion thread

[mosmos]

Very very bad m1 and Simba reception in her ground floor house. Other telcos can just survive 1 or 2 bars of signal.

Not HDB area? If HDB can feedback to Simba

HDB....feedback already many times. It seems it meets minimum requirements.

up to you. terminate means the number is gone. if ignore, then you still have 60 more days after expiry to change your mind, before they terminate the line.

Ah, so u means I can still use the trial for an other 60days?

I'm hoping in my case. My mum is old and stays at home almost 24/7. She talks with her friends most of the time on the phone just by dialling the number. Zym gives 300min which is not enough. She uses Whatsapp calls to those who has Whatsapp.

Hoping does not mean it is a reality, 1 min is all is required to test. Ur init answer is misleading

@mosmos
Coverage is graded by outdoor and major roads afaik by imda.
In your house is no count.
U have wifi there, use wifi calling to supplement mobile signal la

• What happens if I do not renew my plan?
  • If you miss the date to renew your plan, you can renew it the next day. Simply do it on eight account or visit our retailers/ service centre.
  • At your plan expiry, the plan will go into a grace period of 60 days. During which you can receive SMS and notification to recharge. After 60 days, you will continue to receive SMS, however all unused wallet credit will be forfeited.

[~sabaisabai~]

Any benefit for wifi calling?

Wifi calling is basically can think as using wifi to supplement ur mobile signal.
Usual charges apply as if ur using the mobile network as-is be it u in sg or oseas if ur allowed to use that feature overseas

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Wow.... giga port to eight is fast sia.... StarHub to StarHub. Happened almost instantaneously according to the timestamps of the sms messages the outgoing and incoming telcos sent.

yes, starhub to starhub is very fast!!

giga and eight - both under starhub

Not accurate

yes, wait for the next cycle to appear

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Not accurate

huh? meaning?

 

[loganrunning]

not to use fully, but grace period where the number is not terminated, and you can to change to payable plan if you decide to keep it.

if not, then either way is fine - number is eventually terminated.

 

[~sabaisabai~]

okok then i also try port mine to eight. my fren's fren failed though, maybe he no pay haha

if starhub to starhub, unlikely to fail
either there is outstanding of balance or NRIC not match
