Eight Telecom discussion thread

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is a technology that allows voice calls to be made over 4G LTE networks. Here's why it's important, especially with 3G networks being phased out:

1. VoLTE enables voice calls on 4G networks, which were originally designed for data transmission only. Without VoLTE, phones would need to switch to 3G or 2G networks for voice calls.

2. With 3G networks being turned off, VoLTE becomes crucial for maintaining voice call capabilities on modern networks. If your device doesn't support VoLTE, you may lose the ability to make voice calls when 3G is no longer available.

3. VoLTE offers several benefits over traditional voice calls:
- Better audio quality and reduced background noise
- Faster call connection times
- Ability to use data services while on a call
- More efficient use of network resources.

The data transmission over wifi or mobile data must be good if not the voice will be distorted

Yah. Is like a VOIP call so you need to have a decent data speed for this to happen. Generally voice data traffic very small should be able to handle unless busy or bad base station (indoor building)

My guess is also to choose $8 or $18 after the 88 days expire.

If continue $0 plan then they confirm lose money.

At least make the 88GB plan $4 should be possible business plan.

But their business is eight so the lowest price should be $0.80

Can be also $0.88

Anyone who opted for delivery can share how long it took to get their sim card delivered? I ordered on on 9th July but till date nothing yet.

Nope no sms recieved, only email order confirmation

Maybe porting is not successful. Call them and check .. porting take 1 - 3 days as said on the website ..

It makes sense to only send you the sim card when porting is successful.

If not they lugi one sim card for nothing

$0.18 can boh

That means you need to plan your port out properly/in advance before simba auto renews

Simba deduct on 26th for everyone.

I applied on 12th. Hope I can port out on time.

I think should be fine. PSim delivery takes about 3-5 days. 14 days time period for you to activate your port in. After activation, takes about 1-3 days to port in.

Or if not, change your simba mode of payment to a debit card like ezlink Mastercard that has no $ inside so they not able to deduct

My current simba mode is by giro.
Maybe delete giro from my ibanking can prevent charges ?

But not sure like that can port out or not.

read my post https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/official-eight-telecom.7023112/post-153029508

anyway, my previous SIMBA line was under credit card renewal, so if port out before day 25, should be all right

 

[Nefalrin]

make sure you used the simba line for at least minimum 30 days, as simba will attempt to charge $30 (in Simba Wallet) and block port out if you don't have money inside. If you used more than 30 days it will be ok

Also take note for simba everyone cycle starts at a different date, and for 30 days. SIMBA doesn't start on 1st of the month. Which means your renewal might not happen on the calender day 26 of every month.

I already used for 2 years.

I login to the simba app it says my current cycle expiry is 26/07/2024
