Eight Telecom discussion thread

[sango65]

may i check what is the processing days for online port in from Simba?
can we set exact date to port in?

SIMBA bill 5 days before the 30 days cycle, so try to port out from SIMBA before day 25th

taking into account telcos dont initiate port-in in weekends, try to port in earlier

for my case, I port out from SIMBA on day 23, which is already quite risky, that's why I rush to Lucky Plaza (Service Centre) yesterday 6 plus to activate the temp number and initiate the port in

need to self port out from Simba first? i thought just need to register the existing number during eight.com registration.

you can initiate the port-in in eight.com and eight will initiate the port in for you

for me, I did the online port in and had to go to the Service Centre to collect and activate the temp number SIM Card

take note, those Ah Beng retailers wont issue the SIM card if you do online port-in and choose to self collect the SIM Card, only Service Centre can issue the SIM card

For those that ported in, how long did it take? 1-2 working days?

4-6 hours from the time you activate your eight sim card. Their usual mass port in is around 11pm.

 

[Habrosus]

Mine. Ported in yesterday (Wednesday) early morning before office hours.

Received termination text from previous service provider just before midnight.

Now just logged in to Eight with old number, got OTP.

See my post earlier and some of those from yesterday too.

Try to do it early morning if you hope they'll complete the whole process when you wake up the next morning. Otherwise the following morning. Weekends not included.

 

[Tedicious]

what the crap.

Saw a very nice number den went to the "contact' stage, after input the OTP of my current mobile, it went back to the number selection page again.

No email or sms was given after that. Dunno if the order went through a not sia

Thanks! Planning to activate port in on 30 jul but i think on the 29 is more safe?

Should have an acknowledgement of sorts, either ending page or email. Also make sure you've only 1 or no existing line. Send them an email to ask?

Think I made a mistake when something similar happened the other day coz online termination request probably wasn't completed.

Just bear in mind that they could be overwhelmed so anything goes.

Usually most not successful is because the account holder is not the same

Account holder name registered in previous telco must be the same when registered with new telco. Is yours the same? If it is, then could be other reasons

 

[therat]

another reason : the existing one has to be post-paid.
pre-paid cannot port over
