no issue with otps

eight is postpaid, my previous eight line was ported to m1 Maxx recently, no issue
@sango65 where you saw eight is postpaid? :unsure:

This is from Google AI

eight is a prepaid mobile service, despite some aspects resembling postpaid. While users pay for their service in advance, similar to prepaid, they also have the option to save their credit card details and have the service auto-renew, similar to postpaid.

Prepaid nature:
eight mobile plans are primarily prepaid, meaning you pay for your usage before you actually use it.

I just checked eight T&C and it stated that their plans are Prepaid.

3. Services:
3.1 The Services are provided on a pre-paid basis and based on a SIM-only plan. You can sign up a maximum of up to 10 lines under your name or account, or any other limit which we may impose from time-to-time. For Senior, each ID is able to sign up for 2 “Senior Plan” lines.

It is prepaid in function but postpaid in classification, so only postpaid line can be ported to Eight.

update: after the apac data ran out, it started to use the global data, which also ran out as we were using the data to stream vids. now both apac and global data have run out and it says no internet connection on any website. 388gb sg/my data still intact. no reply from eight as of yet:spin:
