Eight Telecom discussion thread

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

Rolled out VoLTE in major city does not mean that it is available out of the cities.
At east coast I would suspect that the tower one pick up is not considered part of a city.
However, I believe it is more due to a contract limitation than VoLTE not available.

As for able to call previously, could it be IndoSat had the incorrect setting hence 'accidentally' permitted VoLTE when they are not supposed to ? I guess we will never know, but that is a possibility.

When they say they started shutting down 3G in 2022, the key word here is started.
Who knows when they finish ?

There are also countries that shut down 3G before 2G, due to large number of industry IoT devices using 2G, as much as that sounds strange.

Thanks. Reasonable logical and rational explanation as always. Much appreciated

Mine experience porting from simba to eight.

Ordered sim card on the 6th Sept evening. 11th Sept recieved. Activated 7pm..11th Sept ard 11pm.. Simba emailed me line terminated.. Check Eight.. Porting in progress. Wake up all set.

think of it as a SIM in software, kinda like a virtual sim (not very accurate, but you get the point)
functions same as a physical sim, but you can't see/feel it.

lol why lazy? same as you do top up eight in shopee. just buy the local sim there. cheaper and can use coins offset leh

esim is convenient and cheaper if travel and buy their local sim. I did that but now with eight 8gb. no need buy liao

Hi guys, I'm on the $8 plan with 8GB APAC and 1GB International data. If I fully utilize the 8gb apac data, my next country of visit is in the apac list, will it use the 1gb international data?

Ticket Number #001:

The international 1GB also covers APAC, so it will likely deduct from the international after you have exhausted the 8GB APAC. I would suggest you check with eight directly as this might be incorrect.

Hi, how is the roaming coverage/connection for Malaysia and Indonesia?

Use this - 50% Coins Cashback Capped at 200 coins. Valid from 12pm to 2pm daily.

I just learnt about this from the master! With these coins to offset, future bills will effectively be only $6 payable.

erm… if not clear, can someone elaborate further for me?

Does it mean that this can be done everyday?

Still applicable for the $8+$8 promo as well? Anyone received the free $8 credit already?
