i just did a port over from giga.
realised that eight captured my full NRIC name which includes pin yin when giga doesnt have the pin yin.

example:
Eight captured-
TAN AH GAO (CHEN AH GOU)
Giga registered as-
TAN AH GAO

will there be any issues?

No issue. Mine from m1 also no hanyu pinyin name but eight has it during signing up and port over at retailer.

Am I able to sign on a line and activate the eSIM while overseas, or must I be connected to eight’s network in Singapore to activate?

For those of you who top up via shope, do you guys encounter scam call to your number soon after your topup being made? Like 1-2 hrs after topup. Happen to me for my 2 number when i top up in different days. Too coincidence?

I think they sell our number. I not so worry lah. I just play along and let them hang up after a while. But beware if you top up for your senior or people who not so tech savvy.

Could be coincidence. Is it a new number? or your existing number ported in?
if new number, most likely recycled, so it's to be expected.

i have one new number, one ported in. for the new line, unknown calls started a few days after activation. for the ported in number, no change in frequency of unknown callers.

of course, it is possible that they sell the number, but i don't have evidence one way or the other (since no significant increase in nuisance calls).

Any idea/info if in near future Eight will provide any of these options?
1. Tag multiple lines into one account
2. Ability to swap e-Sim through app or website, its so troublesome that we have to go Service Centre when trying to switch phones!

The promo is if you top up $8 credit in main balance then they will credit free $8. I’m not sure how it applies to you when you say you converted your $0 plan to the $8 plan. Anyway just FYI also, the promo ends 30 Sep

Write in to eight and ask? If you write in, at least they are receiving feedback that there is demand for such options.

We don’t know coz we’re not working for eight. And you feedback to us, will be one ear in, the other ear out
