Did anyone collect more than 2 SIM card? How was it like? Can the system check?

Places I visit, so far my Vivifi still better than eight

ST network is far more superior than SH

So long it suits the individuals... There is no perfect telco with 0% no network issues..

Agreed with you. Depending on the location. M network in NW area was the worst though?

If the network still can watch HD video streaming that means good enough. No need to be more than 100mbps then considered good.

If one use it to replace their home bb then that’s a different story. Dun think the telcos r advertising them as home bb solution.

Just curious if we can port out the eight number to other telco don’t like the signal but like the number lol

NE coverage indoors really bad uh?
I thought SIMBA was bad enough but at least I still have full 4 bars, but SH hovering around 2-3 bars.

lol u can try lor, when they open up the port ins, but might only accept new entries instead of ppl trying to bring their number out. if u really want the number, i suggest staying with them for a few mths, give them earn the 8/mth till like 6mths or 1yr, then u bring ur number u like out instead.

Tiong Bahru too

Tiong Bahru too

the first day, first hour, businesses around the shop at Tiong Bahru were flabbergasted by the long queue.
The fruit-seller auntie talked to the Eig8t staff nicely, after talking to them "if they do not want to manage the queue, i just call the Town Council lor".
then the beauty parlor tiongbus kept asking people "what is this ar? where did u hear it from ar? may i know the website?"
