Eight Telecom discussion thread

Oh ok. Btw, may I know when did you terminate the free trial line and how long did it take for them to inform you regarding the termination?

I cancel early before port in was available. Emailed and took about 2 hrs to terminate. But i think now best to terminate early for port in

Port to eight $0 plan yesterday.

Order eSim 12 pm yesterday, last night 11 pm Simba email said the line terminated, this morning 8 am check the new eSim and all completed (can call can sms etc)

So if U port in to the $0 plan does it mean it 88 days free?

All port in to $0 is 88 days if you port in until 31 July.

I've terminated my first FOC SIM and ported in a number.

For my second SIM can I port out, coz I want to port another number in. Want to keep this second FOC SIM number.

Information overload...can port out Eight FOC number, right?

If only Eight allows 3 (or more) lines...

I just went to the roadshow today to port in to $8 plan. apparently roadshow is only for porting in to the free trial plan. if want to port in to the regular plan, need to go to retailer. lucky the retailer is also located at the same shop. the retailer help me port in and issue new sim card on the spot. hopefully port in will take place over the night.

Any idea whether the road show can do sim cancellation?

You mean termination of sim. You can terminate by email.

Go to their website. Under help section, look at "Manage my account".

There you will find out how to terminate.

Roadshow is only for port in and buy new sim.

• Head over to our service centre for termination, please bring along your NRIC that was used for the registration of the number

You need to wait for port in to be successful.
It takes 1 - 3 days

I think they do bulk port in at 11pm every night.

I just received email from Simba at 11pm that my plan with them is terminated.

So I guess my port in is successful but I have not get any sms yet

Card activation start date is when you received the physical sim card and after you activate it online with your number.

That is the date that port in will start but if it is a new number then it is the start date of the sim with new number
