Following up with eight team on the two unauthorised charges from the 2 retailers at Boon Lay Shopping Centre, eight say will raise the cases with their internal team. I told them there are more such errand retailers that charge extra for a $8/mth plan

Morning right? My WiFi wouldn't let me update my iOS apps so I went to look at Down Detector. The mountain peak was damn high that morning.

eight need to manually recharge through the portal every month?

so long you enable auto-recharge, your eight line should renew every mth if your wallet has credits and/or bind credit card

Have to recharge manually only if you don't turn on "Auto-Recharge" under "Billing".

With "Auto-Recharge" turned on, it will scan the wallet before moving to the saved card each month. Automatically.

If line has gone to Inactive stage due to unsuccessful payment, just manually renew the plan, before moving on to turn on "Auto-Recharge".
