Eight Telecom discussion thread

[sgstab]

ported my SIMBA line to eight, no issue, port-in next working day. For eight, I went with eSIM.

How is 4G speed compare to simba?

My SIMBA wallet still got $75 balance, if I port to 8 now, how to settle my $75 ? will simba refund ?

SIMBA will not refund the money in your SIMBA wallet.

Can port in to eight at service center, and get the SIM card from them.

But I wonder if can do that if user were to choose $0 plan. Anyone done that?

Friend wants to try with spare line.

Eight works for me better than Simba.

Hi all, can i check if anyone here top up their eight account via shopee ? Do you know what is the difference between topping up the balance itself vs having a new cycle that is one month later ? Thanks

I did. I chose to top up enough for 3 months to the wallet for Eight to deduct for renewals.

I find it more flexible this way, in case I want to change plan.

The other option is to buy the following month's plan, from my understanding.

thanks for sharing. I was wondering if there is a difference between the 2. If we put in the wallet, it will deduct again for renewal based on existing plan i suppose ?

I port from vivifi to eight this morning, using eSim. The eSim email arrived almost immediately. I chose the $0 for a trial. I understand it is only 88 days. Will I get notified that it is ending so that I can change to a $8 plan later? I don't want to lose this number.

Anyone has issue with the limited 2 lines for 8 ? I have several family members mobile number under my name but 8 can only allow 2 account per NRIC.

Is there a simplest and cheapest way to change ownership of mobile number ?

Sad, I have to stick to SIMBA 7 mth more.
Btw, anyone change SIMBA plan to $12 ( 200GB local, 5GB 60+ intl roaming, 300idd) recently? I think this plan also not bad.
I got received sms last mth.

Oh, I don’t mean for the free sim. Free sim I have already.
I mean the sim for the number porting.

for sim porting if you do online canonly pickup at service center, but im not sure if porting on retailer can or not, roadshow should be able to help you.

8 got app already?

Very very fast, hassle free with eSIM.

That's what I understand. You might want to PM the Shopee seller to double-check.

You should get some kind of correspondence from them before that.

Guess will have to do it online and collect the SIM card there then. Thanks so much.
