It just means they have better equipment at one site and not all sites.
If this affected you badly, time to consider changing to another operator.

Just ported to zym after using it for 2 days. I kind of like the number so decided to keep it. After going through their FAQ, they didn't mention any minimum subscription period? Unlike Zym which is 2 months. What happens if the port fail? I will keep this line and the temp number zym assigned to me?

4G seems good enough for me, even with 4G, I can get the speed: download: 190mbps, upload: 33mbps.
Actually, even with 20mbps I have no complain :)

4G only goes up to 100Mbps. 4G+ can go up to 300Mbps.

Walk past my nbhd got one shop they help register plus provide sim card. He said just do 1 week before sub payment. I think it's good to do over weekend , i.e Friday , then they port my number over weekend? Tks

From my research, porting usually happens on weekdays only, your Friday might get pushed to Monday if there are delays.

Might be wrong though.

Good to know that, i have people saying theirs doesn't get ported over weekends.


Now i'm contemplating whether to port over on Thursday/Friday or weekends to maximize usage :ROFLMAO:

If lets say I need 2GB, do I top up 2 times in a row?

If I run out of the 2GB data, will it prompt me to top up? Not sure how it works or charges once it exceeds the bundle.

Thanks in advance

just checking, website says the 228GB for [sg-my] is for non data sim-only customers.

means what ah? lol

sim only contract with no data included? does that even make sense? so my $8 plan's 228GB covers MY anot? or is it under the APAC roaming?

Eight has a separate data only plan
https://www.eight.com.sg/plans-data-only

And this is just SG data only, this is what they mean.
