Can I ask on average how long u guys waited if u request for sim card to be send via postal mail? and how long does it take to do activtation successfully?

The website info seemed to give quite a long duration
it varies, depends on how long singpost delivers it. Best to go down retailer or sim card collection shops to collect, there are so many located islandwide

Ported from ZYM to eight via online esim.
All good, OTP working as well.
Just curious what's the reason to port from Zym? As several had feedback that they find Zym connection better than Eight. Contrary to my experience I had very bad connection with Vivifi/GOMO 5G.

Pick it up if you can. It is super fast.

3pm: Purchased online.

330pm: Picked up and activated over the counter and straight away can use eight.

All in less than 35 minutes.

10GB APAC Roaming
2GB Intl Roaming
288 Mins IDD Talktime

This 3 points attracted to port and give eight a try.
No harm trying, anyway not good than port to ZYM again afterwards :ROFLMAO:

Even without 5G NSA and just with 4G on eight!

I could get more than triple the speed than Simbarella 5G SA sia!

Somemore, running non 5G saves my phone battery life a lot!

What you say! :LOL: Don't waste my precious life with Simbarella no more! 😷
bro tbh .. you said that every time u left Simba and then after a few weeks back to become Simbrealla
I think need to change the storyline .. you are the wolf in story of Red Riding Hood🐺

:devilish:
