Is there throttling on the free plan? My colleague just got his eight sim card today, plugged into iPhone 15 Pro Max, less than 1mbps lol ...

Just went to Lucky Plaza to do port in. Hope no problems

Received port in successful SMS from eight at 23:02.
Login to eight portal using my old number successfully.
Data is working. Voice not tried yet.

Just sharing my good experience on shopee purchase.

Seller: HockMobile Store
Bought: $104 balance (13months worth of subscriptions) for only $83.41
Voucher: Shopee Coin $6++, $10 off min spend $100.
Turnover Time: within 1 mins, I received sms from eight saying that my account has topped up. The seller will shopee chat you once done too.

Overall: $83.41/13months = $6.42/month.

For those interest can consider.

Register port in online this afternoon 3pm

Go to lucky plaza collect SIM card around 6:30pm.

Number port over around 12:30am

SMS. Data. Call. No issue.

zym to eight.

Register port in online for $0 plan on 17/7 & received sim card on 22/7

Activated sim on 25/7 about 9+am and ported over on 26/7 around 1am (could be earlier) as only check around 1am.

Call and sms working. Data no connection, turn on airplane mode and it's working.

Ported over from vivifi. Initially wanted to activate port in on 29/7 but saw some users having issues and also afraid that due to $0 plan promotion ending and overwhelming orders which may result in delays. So decided to port earlier

Overall smooth process!

#1: not everyone have coins in shopee
#2: the math doesnt looks right ---> $104 - $7 (roundup) - $10 = $87

You'll already get a discount from $104 when you buy from such online sellers.

Thanks. I managed to e-flip table via email. the portin@eight email just don't respond to me even after 4-days. Instead, i then wrote in to helpme@eight, got reply immediately and resolved it. Hopefully, port in happens tonight.

Yeah, not sure what the portin@eight.com.sg is for
I have only gotten responses after including helpme@eight.com.sg in the email

i think he mean u bought $104 balance and get 600 shopee coin and $10 off..mean get $16 off for $104..$104 divide $8 get 13months. $104 -$16 =$88 /13months =$6.76

Yeap. E.g. you don’t actually paid $40 to top up, you only paid $38++.

$40 balance selling for $38.40
$8 balance selling for $7.80

I bought 2x $40 + 3x $8 to meet the $100 requirement.

$38.40x2 + $7.80x3 = $100.20.
$100.20 -$10 - 6.79(Shopee coin) = $83.41

$83.41/13 month( technically only 12months 25days) = $6.42

hope it clarify.
