Now that everything can be done online... Maybe someday they'll have 5G too

 

[allanzzz]

i guess the only thing left is the charges for roaming per GB after exceeding the bundled roaming data.

Local only 4g...but I went jb last week got 5G all the way... Few weeks back only 4g..

Can port it to Plan $0 trial first? Or port in only to paid plans? Thanks.

Looks like can when I tried online but did not proceed. Will visit physical shop so I can collect physical SIM card.

I ported to $0 plan, waiting for SIM card

I also signed up to $0 plan but with eSIM (not porting over).

But under payment page, the summary showed 30 days + all the plan details like 88GB, mins, local sms and 1 GB apac roaming. Isn’t it supposed to be 88 days free? Anyway doesn’t matter even if 30 days only as I just wanted to test the signal strength at my work place.

The full bar is Eight mobile. The 2 bar is M1 which is my main line and its signal is very bad at my workplace.

Thanks. Worry it will upgrade to $8 plan and then without notification get many months charged and get a red bill of $88 after 1 year.

How will it renew if you don't pay anything for $0 plan?

 

[jeffyap78]

Yay.
Finally esim and port-in self service.

Done it, $8.
Not the perfect network for me, but i'm happy with the price.

Wen app?

The network no good?

 

[Tedicious]

Anyone knows if sign up online and request for a physical SIM , do we need to activate the SIM and the billing cycle date is based on the date when we sign up or date of activation?

some places ST are better coverage than SH .. quite common issue.
For $8 plan is no fuss so long no aeroplane mode like M1

my simba also 1-2 bar at home but STest only 11mbps and still usable and normal expected speed per simba

They will deliver the SIM card, or you have to self collect?

 

[anthonygreenisreal]

I have the $0 plan on my spare phone and it seems to perform almost the same as Heya if not slightly better.

I just ported main line this morning from Heya to the $0 plan.
Will self collect later and port-in should be tonight.

If things works well, its a good enough savings albeit only a few bucks. If not then i can port out to other MVNO since this is free anyway.

FAQ states that the billing cycle is 30 days. For those looking to start on 1st Aug, you next billing cycle might start on 31st Aug instead of 1st Sep. Weird that they price their plan per month but billing cycle is 30 days. Simba plans are priced per 30 days.
