Anyone try Zym or Zero1 5G is it faster/smoother than 8?

this is the problem… once you pay the $88 you are locked in. If eight service is garbage, then stuck

this 1 like gambling. Who knows if their 88 promo gain traction and gain more customer base will their speed mantain or get worse?

Price increase i not so worried usually now the trend is price same but they give more data, mins, roam countries etc.

Speed and Network piority more concerning.

The concern is whether the port-in can be completed by 15th then you can top up on 16th. The shop person cannot confirm whether topping up to the temporary no. will work. I checked with Google AI and the answer is as follows:

Yes, you can top up your eight mobile wallet even while porting is in progress; your wallet balance won't expire as long as your plan's active, and you can use methods like credit/debit card or at retailers to add funds, allowing you to use your plan entitlements on the temporary number during the 1-3 day porting period.
Here's why and how:
  • Wallet Credit is Separate: Your wallet balance is separate from your plan's main entitlements, and top-ups are encouraged for use during the porting period.
  • Top-Up Methods: Use your eight account with a card or visit an eight retailer/service center to add funds.
  • Plan Active on Temp Number: You get plan benefits on your temporary eight number while waiting for your old number to port, so topping up ensures you can use services immediately.
So in conclusion, according to AI, you should be able to enjoy both port in and top up offer. Meanwhile, the best is to be confirmed by Eight, I asked Eight Facebook about this and is still awaiting the answer. Hopefully they will get back the answer before 16th Dec. If they could not reply on time, you have to decide whether to take the risk or not.
