Tbh, coins in return is not useful to me when my approach is to farm coins.
Get real cashback more wu hua on top of using the farmed coins.
Review also hv coins, same item canot review more than one time per 30d

@Boringchap

I can make calls back to Singapore and receive calls in Malaysia too. I tried it when I was there. Network used Maxis. I tried using +65 and it worked.

Super Eight Plan is your $0 Trial Plan.

So the plan is 3 mths: -

1st mth: 8 Aug to 7 Sep
2nd mth: 8 Sep to 7 Oct
3rd mth: 8 Oct to 7 Nov

Do take note 3rd month should be shorter as free trial is 88 days.

Actually if I port in online and pay the $8, doesnt it mean when I activate I will get the free $8?

No promotion code is needed across online channels and retailer outlets, eligible customers will receive $8 credits within 7 business days into the main wallet.

So I can port in online process, and when I get the sim, activate within 14 days, and get total of $8 + $8 right?

For those wondering,

Did online port-in, opted for self collect at TPY, was told by the shop person that once sim card is inserted, the port in process will begin.


However even before inserting, got the email for Free $8 Credit. So to those wondering, yes, porting in online + pay $8, you will get the extra free $8 credit (even before porting in is completed. The $8 credit is tied to your account, not your port in number/ temp number, as opposed to what some here might think/ say.

If already have 2 x free 88 days Super Eight plans, can we port over another number from another telco to replace one of these existing number? How to go about if can? Coz don't see porting in as an option when log in to Eight account

nope, eight don't support port-in to replace number as of now

 

[limbang]

FAQ says Ubi only Mon-Fri, but someone tried Sat before and was able to apply port-in.

Anyone know if it is still open Saturdays now? Planning to go today. Thank you.

personally went to Ubi service centre @21 Sep 2024, a Saturday afternoon.
yes, it is open for business.

The thing is, when you log in to an eight account, it's strictly for that particular mobile number.

You want to port in, you will be assigned another 'account'. Not sure why it's not tied to email/ IC number but mobile number, but your only way is to port in your existing non-eight mobile number to eight, and wait till your current free eight mobile plan expires.

I reckon it's to prevent ppl from getting 2 free months on their existing non-eight mobile plan/ number. Abit exploitative
