I terminate one FOC SIM earlier on to port my own number for $8 plan.

Then ported the 2nd FOC SIM out (to make space again) and ported another number to $0 plan.


Thanks so much! Will get my friend to head there. (y)
You're welcome. That's what we here for. Sharing good info.

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.
Even if they do not notify you, there is a 60 days grace where you will only receive sms and there will be no outgoing or incoming call and data.

For this 60 days, you can take your own sweet time to buy any plan by login to your eight account.

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.
Simba is quite lag actually.

I tested the connection on fast dot com.

The loaded lag test on simba is above 1s
The loaded lag test on eight is only 100ms.

For info, loaded lag test is to test how fast the internet connection when data-heavy application is on use.
The lower the number, the better.
