I’m using iPhone. Auto change telco.
You might wanna check which are the roaming parters for eight in Malaysia

Automatic network selection generally works fine. If and only if you're unhappy with the automatic selection, try manually selecting a roaming network.

I suggest when you return to Singapore that you disable roaming. (With an iPhone for example that's in Settings -> General -> Cellular -> Cellular Data Options -> Roaming Off.) When you're in Singapore you usually don't want your phone switching to a roaming partner. That can happen occasionally when you're close to the border or at the top of a tall building.

If they have 5G, I think it will not be $8 anymore. :(

it might still be $8, but you wont be getting what you think you would be getting......

it might turn out to be like Simba, 4G speed with 5G logo..... my experience.
(or rephrased, 5G at 4G speed)

Thanks. TBH, I'm still figuring out the Passkey feature. :grin:

Edit: @loganrunning
I think my issue is that I've the normal plan in an iPad. Been keeping track of credit balance manually (small matter to me), but impossible to log in coz there's no OTP. Will be dealing with this in the near future. Meanwhile, hope Eight will not charge $8 for data-only plan but instead, $5 like Simba or even better :s13: $4 that's half of Eight. :o

The most important part for me now is the n1 band (2100mhz) that 5G is on.

Speed is not the fastest (not the n78 3500mhz band) but n1 is another band for reception where instances of places using 4G LTE B3,7,38 of Starhub doesn't give any signal or coverage. I see it as giving me another band to latch on. More options the better.

The latest spectrum for 5g is n28 (700mhz APT) that is meant for further indoor penetration signal. Waiting for them to farm. Singtel started end Oct 2024 with this, and this past June the payment from starhub seems to be through to IMDA.

I'm not into those speedtest nutcases that gives me a feel good factor seeing the speed going past 1000mbps and flexing it on the net. I just want data to flow everywhere, basically load a webpage or send a message successfully, wherever I go.

In that case, those home bb 10gbps also siaolang. You run dc or television station at home :vijayadmin:
