Today lunch queue at Biahan was long but quite fast as there are 6 staffs.
The queue mostly uncles aunties
They allow payment plan $8 or the free plan here.
Cannot choose number, they assign it

There are $10 ones waiting to port out already, either to Eight or Maxx. Only the $5 ones are constant. If those 2 start having eSIM, lagi worse unless they improve their local connection.

giga updated their plans and forced users to convert to esim for the 5g. kinda dumb tbh. and if i converted, later i will have issue porting as some of these plans may not support esim, so i might be charged again for the physical card. Really hope eight announce their portin really soon lol.

should be ok from esim > physical sim .. even for "8" there's no esim option you still need a SIM card and port over like most Telco
