It's gonna be a long weekend, expect delays

Anybody knows how to get in touch with Eight? I'm supposed to get my 2nd and 3rd month free but they haven't replied my email 4 days ago and now my plan is suspended.
Can't even message on their facebook as they disabled comments / messages.

Fastest way is to go to their service centres, but not sure if weekend they will still entertain queries even if the store is open.

As above, visit their service centres.

totally marketing gimmick, i am heavy user and I am on the go a lot also i only used the most 100GB++ per month.

this is actually the same as fibre broadband, while now all telcos/MVNOs also offer mini 2.5Gbps or up to 10Gbps of speed, but probably 90% and above will never need such speed, for normal users, even 200Mbps is way overkilled, and this explains the reason why they give such speed, becos normal users can never utilise it, if u multiple the no of subscribers vs the speed they promise, u know they do not even have enough bandwidth for all.

Well, I am not complaining for sure, it is a free add-on and price plan remains as before, definitely a welcome.

I noticed for new numbers from Eight, all starting with 8, any way to get numbers starting with 9?
Just personal preference.

Unlikely. Cos branding and the number are from starhub. Most likely all the 9 numbers use finished le

This plan is permanent now?
Previously it was limited time offer @ $10.80 until 31 May.

At this instant Eight's S$10.80 plan is still listed on their Web site as available through May 31, 2026.

Have you tried refreshing the page to reveal a new page of numbers? I recall seeing 9xxx numbers though can't remember which telco/s.

I know that the Pasir Ris Service Centre is opened on weekends even though they didn’t indicate so on their website. Not sure about the rest.

if you want numbers 9, you might want to check with singtel related telcos. I remember seeing their mvno's number start with 9

Anyone have experience on eight 5g vs zym 4g? Which one more stable?

I have used Zym in Malaysia and Indonesia... and switched over to Eight last month and i am travelling now around Malaysia... KL and Melaka. Eight has been better and faster speeds. I can confirm this. and with Zym i did have times where i needed to tap on my partner's SIMBA hotspot from her phone. I am very happy with Eight's roaming so far. (I am on the 10.80 5G plan) and also on the seniors 4G plan. both are exceptional.

i had used zym, vivifi before and now i am on eight.

seriously speaking, i do not miss anything from z or v MVNOs although they are on sinktel network.
i would say both 4G are comparable.

Interesting. My eight mobile number starts with 9, signed up as a new line back in Oct 2025.

Then my other new numbers from Maxx (two times), SIMBA and Zym all started with 8.

You can probably go with SingTel Prepaid or M1 Prepaid. You need to go to the physical shop to select the number. Then you can port to eight.

Just checked my Singtel and M1 prepaid card numbers, some start with 9 and some start with 8.
