Eight Telecom discussion thread

[Habrosus]

I just ignore it.

I've been wondering if it's OK to do that. Makes no sense to park a card just for show.

Thanks

good thing for eight, other than the monthly fee, u will pay NOTHING else NO MATTER how u use it.

Any idea if this is the same for Singtel hi?

1) Yes for SingTel hi! PostPaid plans.

2) SingTel hi! Prepaid plans are different. And your wallet balance can really be gone if you are not careful. But then it is also more flexible -- you can choose to not top up monthly (S$3 IDD add-on can extend the validity by 180 days).

3) BTW, now Singtel Prepaid hi! S$15 monthly plan has the same perks as Sib SingTel hi! Postpaid S$13/S$15 5G plan. Both are said to be managed by SingTel Prepaid Team.

4) Take note SingTel hi! PostPaid plans do not support roaming voice call. eight offers free roaming voice call.

Dun think it will come back anytime.

Never say never, it actually depends on the situation of the competition.

Hi I've a Eight number on monthly plan. Can I just buy the yearly plan via Shopee (got voucher) and enter the code into the Eight app? Do I need for my currently plan to expire 1st? Thanks.

• I have existing plans (e.g., monthly plans) stacked in my account. What happens if I purchase a 1-Year Plan?​

  If you are on $8.00 monthly plan (or stacked) and choose to upgrade to $1-Year $11.80 Plan or 1-Year $18.00 Plan, this will be considered a plan upgrade and you will immediately get to enjoy the upgraded entitlements!
  If you are on $11.80 monthly plan (or stacked) and choose to upgrade to 1-Year $18.00 Plan, this will be considered a plan upgrade and you will immediately get to enjoy the entitlements! If you choose 1-Year $8 plan, it will only start after all the $11.80 monthly plan ends.
  If you are on $18.00 monthly plan (or stacked) and choose to purchase $1-Year $11.80 Plan or 1-Year $18.00 Plan, it will only start after all the $18 monthly plan ends.

If you are thinking to get the same plan but yearly, it will be likely treated as plan stacking which means after the current cycle, your plan would be "converted" to the yearly one. Maye check with them to confirm first as their examples are more about the upgrade / downgrade price or plan wise but dosen't cover the same plan

Do take note that credit that you have cannot be used to pay for the yearly plan

You can follow the instructions on redone website. Think can use app convert also

If you can't port to the cheaper $8 on your current best10 plan, maybe head down to the stores

Not necessary AFAIK. Just head to Eight’s Web site and port your line in if you wish.

The eight telecom app in App Store.. but I’m also having the same issue even when I’m using the web version…
Onli can access both of them when I’m on house wifi…

 

[sibeiTrolled]

ut I’m also having the same issue even when I’m using the web version

No issue access eight portal, can also login. All done using eight mobile data.

Maybe try airplane mode a few times to hopefully get new IP allocated to you

u port over via redone, u enjoy free 1 month.

Anyway, after the switchover, u can change to any eight plan.

Can I sign up for a different plan on eight?

Definitely! Once you’ve switched to eight, you can easily manage and swap your plan through eight’s app at any time.
