Any idea when Eight would support port-in and recurring payments via eGIRO or credit card?

 

[Habrosus]

Have you tried Midvalley Southkey Basement 1? That place is a signal killer.

I used TnG to pay for my KFC, using Hotlink Prepaid Card. 8ight's Hotlink the partner should work too, no?

Oh, also paid same to Zuspresso.

KSL for our elderly. Young and young at heart head to Mid Valley liao

"Soon"

Check out their official FB page. Lots of such questions there.

I'm waiting for them to change to "in the near future".

Haha hopefully they'll inform via email once it's launched.

Are outgoing and incoming calls to/from Singapore numbers free for Eight when overseas?

I thought the $8 plan has 288 Mins IDD Talktime?
Sending SMS when overseas does not seem to be included.

My bad, I got mixed up.

FOC line has only 1GB data roaming.

No idea about calls coz I didn't look into anything other than data.

As for text, read somewhere that someone only received the 3 SMSes from 8 on the status of his data roaming running out when he got back to local network... Can't receive text while roaming?

I received the SMS about 50% of Zone 1 APAC data allocation used when in JB. Didn't receive the other 2 as I didn't use up all the 1GB.

to confirm, the local call time is for only outgoing calls, and incoming calls are not drawing from that? Can't seem to find this point confirmed yet. Thinking to get for parents but their outgoing call time already be close to 300 mins per month.

It's stated very clearly on eight's website. Don't even need to look that hard to see the answer.

None of their plans give you 300 mins talk time.
You better look else where
This is still ongoing and store exclusive. You can't find it online.
