Did you hedged months ahead? If no, can feel free to port liao.

Fourteen freaking months ahead

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

yap i mentioned before the top-up is marketing gimmick, this is to to make ppl to stay else they will be wasting the credits

The incoming intl sms is not even solved yet. I discovered this problem after topping up 14 mths ahead

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Translation: @~sabaisabai~ topped up months ahead and cannot jump ship now. Shopee voucher is bad!

you hedged more than a year leh... voucher is real bad for you leh

it is good for me, cos i dont stay in singapore all the times
so if i travel out, and away for long, then $6/mth is doable for me

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

NO NO, am not jumping!!
i NEED idd calls! so yes, will still stay with eight
9bg data roaming is good for me

why would i need to jump? maxx no use to me, if i am away for a month from singapore

I wonder what will your reaction be when they removed IDD and roaming to Thailand

Yalor. Bad poisons.

Good for you.

Luckily iPhone got esim and i am relying on simba for receiving the intl sms.

$6 nia lor... is okay mah...
buy no scare, scare no buy
also, i only left 4mths nia, very fast one.. haha
anyway, they have 9gb data roaming for me, it is still good
imagine if i am away for a mth, and i pay $6 also to keep my number, why is that bad leh?
and i doubt they will remove thailand

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

i was at EWL few days ago, able to access, not sure how fast the speed
but of cos not on the phone all the times

Was it during the golden hours?
Golden =

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

$6 nia lor... is okay mah...

I mean if they removed Thailand, u can move on to other company liao

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Golden =

it is off peak hours

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

it is off peak hours

Ahh. No wonder u can access

 

[~sabaisabai~]

I mean if they removed Thailand, u can move on to other company liao

seriously i doubt they will remove for few mths down the road
future - i am not sure, cos i no have crystal ball with me
but i am not the one who like to port here and there
lazy for that

 

[twosix]

Have lah... in his post: 59.

 

[~sabaisabai~]

I wonder what will your reaction be when they removed IDD and roaming to Thailand

don't think too much lah...when it comes then worry...
why worry where it may or may not happen leh?
jai yen yen na

True incident to report, happaned on Saturday last weekend. Just a few days ago.
brought my family to a korean bbq establishment in tanjong pagar.
used eight to scan the QR code menu. no response. Kept trying for 5mins.

Wife and kid got impatient liao.

switched data to Simba, voila, can order under Simba line.

nowadays eight very congested, thus slow, especially after Comex.

Wait another month or two for all the free trial lines to expire.

This one should be for existing singtel customer. The cheapest MNO sim only i think is M1 Maxx

M1 Maxx is MVNO. M1 is MNO.

The SIM-ONLY thread has comparisons and alerts on promos. Can check there.

Go Maxx! go!

Don't like this leh. Mine is Maxx > Eight > Simba. M1 connection hasn't disappointed me all these years.

You still tried for 5 mins? Can immediately airplane mode already!

I also tend to switch between those 3 lines. Don't even give chance to try for 5 mins.

I'm using this and giga. So far ok lah, i feel better than my previous vivifi line. still can get data at the vivifi usual blindspot.
My current blindspot for eight and giga is at my own place at the moment, luckily i have wifi. Lol
