I just ported from VIVIFI to eight. Using data all the way from orchard to Jurong. jin song. data solid all the way. My VIVIFI show full bar but cannot even load.

At KL now... It seems connection is better on Maxis compared to U-mobile. Needed to manually select to Maxis as sometimes it switches to U-mobile and Maxis.

Turn off auto select and manually select maxis, did you try out the roaming call BTW?

 

[alexlau]

Yes. It appears so. They are asking for more time.

Thanks for sharing, can confirm on this? Can we send and receive overseas normal SMS with Eight? Thank you!

Not working for me. It says not allowed to.

The data roaming is just so attractive.

Thank you! LOL yeah just want to double check.

No overseas SMS is a big bummer: It's not difficult to do right? Don't know why they cannot make it.

There may be areas where eight (SH) is stabler than Zym (ST) for people.

Roam 8GB, like that maybe can get as secondary sim hahaha

 

[leongws]

zym 1gb data only for 1st year. thereafter no more.

eight has 8gb data roaming in apac and 1gb roaming in international. so total 9gb free

Preference for StarHub, plus more data and a slightly lower price helps too.

I prefer ST too! Starhub is a close second bah.

Wah no wonder! Wondering where is Harry Potter @kelvinti

But how well the network performs is another problem.

Harry Porter does not prefer stuckhub network.
