Eight Telecom discussion thread

[DenOOO]

What if my 3 letters arrive at the same time, is there any indication as to which letter is for which ?

I saw that the content in the letter is generic except for SIM card.

3 letters for the SIM card?
Should have identifier for each of the letters one leh, no?

Apparently no... it all looks exactly the same.

3 letters for 3 sim as i ported in 3 lines at the same time under the same name.

And the letter content is just a standard activation letter which has nothing unique and also doesn't state which port in number it is linked to.

The only thing different is the serial number on the sim cards itself which is not an indication.

Is there a minimum subscription period for Eight? Let's say I'm unsatisfied can I port out in less than 30 days?

 

[TimberOak]

Does anyone know if I can do a port-in after getting my SIM?

I see FAQ only has info for port in during sign up.

Request to terminate before the 30 day cycle.

Request to terminate before the 30 day cycle.

If do not make payment, auto termination after 60 days? Then no need to request termination?

Works too if you do not setup any payment for your account, then nothing to deduct and should auto terminate thereafter.

yes

in CL thread, many have reported issues porting out, esp if on the $0 plan.
Maybe can find solutions there
(I ported out from CL in 2022, when it was easier to do so --- my CL experience is not updated)
