Eight Telecom discussion thread

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.

only the paid ones $8/month comes with IDD. Free SIM and $0 plan cannot expect all "things" free also ...

Yah lah... he's asking for pricing, not freebies.

 

[RyuShinEX]

[RyuShinEX]

You mean a sample list of the numbers?

Mine just showed me a list from a phone to choose from, with a Next/More button.

[iceoxfch]

bad idea.
Why do you let them control your wallet ?

Less hassle

 

[iceoxfch]

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

Eight didn't clarify this

Besides, Eight gives free outgoing IDD calls but does it apply when such calls are made while overseas?

just tried calling my friends on eight when he's overseas..he can at least answer the call...should be free for now since we didnt give any credit card details..not sure when they launch.

i tested the eight network in jb, it works like 80% of the time, the only time it doesnt work when it is responding slowly or when its lagging badly, other than that i think its fine, SIMBA overseas one is more superior but then again, eight is still starting, gotta wait and see how it goes
