Hi, asking for a friend, he's using Iphone 15 pro max with eight plan, but whenever he uses facebook live, the screen will freeze but background still working.

Anyone facing the same issue?

should be facebook issue, heard other viewers mentioned those using iphone with data cant view live. So iphone users need to use wifi to watch FB live.

No issue for Android users using wifi or data

Finally eight set a termination date for my free 88 days SIM card

So, termination date is 30 Nov 2024 and the number of days is 195 days after 19 May 2024.

So counting back - 88 days free and 60 days grace period and 47 days (after 60 days grace period).

I got this SMS as well too, on the Free 88 Days SIM. Weird thing is, I actually got the top up $8 get free $8 promotion in September, and the plan (first $8) ended on 10 October. 30 days of November + 21 days remaining in October = 51 days. Not even close to the 60 days grace period. I still have the free $8 inside which i plan to activate before my December travels.

mine also...88 free days ended just 2 weeks ago...then they say end Nov will terminate liao..

I'm in Malaysia (JB) and roam on Maxis or UMobile. However, I cannot get VOLTE on both operators, and I can't make any voice calls. Has anyone encountered the same issues?

is your hp on the supported list for both Maxis and U Mobile?

 

[Sumimasen]

From lakeside to JW totally can't call out and receive call.

 

[Sumimasen]

I had the same voice call problem in some local spots, and in JB as well, on a 5 yr old phone (with VoLTE enabled). My problem was resolved once I pop in the same SIM card into a newer phone, so I suspect it's due to phone's VoLTE band support.

Thanks able to make local call at west side after turning on VoLTE for xm hp.
