Eight Telecom discussion thread

[JAYSCS]

I'd say check with the seller beforehand unless you've done it with them before.


I'll already be here Christmas 2026 for Simba.

For Eight...no confidence that I'd want to stick with them coz pattern pattern...

I think Eight pattern not as bad, connection issue may be due to priority reason. At least in term of charging, there is no hidden cost or surprise fee imposed.

got $22 off $220 voucher

Safer to use 3 different Eight $88 top up sellers, I think. Then use the “Message to Seller” for each one. The 3 different sellers should still aggregate to use your voucher if you check them all out together in one cart.

I see four $88 sellers on Shopee right now. Just search with “Eight top up” to find them.

Not all sellers can apply voucher, I think.

Or effectively $8 per 30 day cycle if you want Eight’s 5G plan. Or effectively about $2.51 per 30 day cycle for the senior plan. I’m assuming in both cases you let the residual wallet amount go to waste, so it’s a likely “worst case” price. These $4/$8/$2.51 figures are lower if you manage to apply a Shopee or Lazada coupon.

$4 vs $30 traditional broadband or $23+ for eight broadband, can save > $20+ per month

True. but Shopee’s $22 card-related coupon seems to work in this case. It requires the right credit or debit card and at least three $88 top ups checked out in one basket. (Can be from different sellers.)

Yes, if you combine the $14.80 5G plan with Eight’s home broadband service you get another discount. But this $88 top up promo is only for the mobile wallet, correct?

The senior plan is hilarious with this promotion. One $88 top up buys 35 cycles of senior service — nearly 3 years! How soon will we see “Infant Plan” promo offers that buy a lifetime of 4G service for $XXXX? (Would you buy a lifetime of service for $2,888 for example?)

Just get 8 x $88, free 8 x $88.
Total 176 months. Almost 15 years worth

Let’s suppose a senior does this. That’s 281 cycles of senior service — 23 years — for $704, or less with a coupon. There are a few perils in doing this, among them that the senior doesn’t get to enjoy 23 years of service unless he/she lives at least that long.

i am thinking how many times of $88 i should top up as well.

8 x = 14.7 years no need to top up. but i worried that eight may not survivie until then.
some ppl signed gym package also like that. suddenly gym centre went bankrupt or closed down, they could not get back the money also.

seriously this top up thing can be done ownself, why need to go through third party which is no safe also.

 

[jheff21]

Anybody here who used Eight mobile roaming in China? Does it use 5G or still LTE? Tried Simba before is only LTE and is using China Unicom. I understand for Eight partners with China Mobile but is not really clear if it uses 5G or only LTE.

154 plus 88 plus 88 equal to 320
