Eight Telecom discussion thread

[kelvinti]

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

May be Simbarella put kong tao on me. After a while, I would go back to her... Lol..

Now, let's be serious! I really keep trying to give Simba a chance but its speed and coverage are still not quite up to the standard even it's running on its 5G SA.

Many times, I got stuck when trying to pay by apps, and the Upload speed is slow when I'm trying to upload something fast for my work. Quite frustrating indeed.

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! Don't waste my precious life with Simbarella no more!

Can sleep well tonight. Can't wait for season 3.

Btw, Mufasa movie is coming to theatres next month, in recognition of Simba's father, you will port back again

All prices for mobile plans and broadband are nett, i.e. GST is already included. You pay $18 or $8 and not a single cent more.

I know it's really confusing in SG because fast food prices already include GST, but not restaurant menu prices. Not good and the gahment should really just standardize pricing across the board. Don't know why it's so difficult to do; it isn't.

No leh my circles life $5 was charged $5.09 :/
Giga $10 become $10.19

But one can clearly see on Giga's website that their price for the 20GB plan is $10.19, not $10.

Similarly for Circles.life website.

I decided to port to Zero1 Starter liao after knowing that they are giving extra 50GB. As I use less than 20GB per month, it is the more suitable plan for me.

I still prefer the setting of the billing cycle to a specific date instead of it drifting around when the days of the months are 28/29/31 days.

Eight mobile if top up via shopee is $8 - $2 =$6.00

more worth than $7.06 right?

Aiya! SingTel MVNOs also dropped signals at times when changing "towels". .

Yah but need to do the actual buying every month, which is somewhat troublesome also.

I prefer the automatic deduction one.

i stack a few months in wallet, and enable auto deduct, then set calendar every quarter to check and top up.

just my experience. after nearly being locked in on credit card twice (CL, and then Gomo), i am very wary and avoid saving credit card details in there. Now all my telcos dun use credit card. with online purchase, very easy to topup/recharge as necessary, even when travelling.

Same here, like my most recent saga with Vivifi - randomly deduct $7+ from my CC 2 months after porting out to eight. When confronted, no replies for 3 weeks I had to ask IMDA to intervene then they refunded me immediately. Didn't even explain how that deduction happened.

Primary line only at the moment.

Hi all, can I ask if you're able to receive SMS OTP while overseas?

Do you get this price if using browser ? Or App only ?

That should work in general, but not sure what is the situation if there is no roaming partner.

Just login app and do it. Ask so many questions later no more vouchers

Currently I buying from hock supply store
