My simba line they reply will terminate on 29th Aug, I oredi paid up but willing to forgo..but they allow me to use it till they terminate.
When you terminate (online), you'll be given the option to either terminate immediately, or end of cycle.

But if you're just paying outstanding charges, tell them you're not terminating but just paying charges to release the line from any obligation, coz you might want to port out later.

For end of cycle, your new/next sim will auto come alive (upon insertion and phone reboot) after Simba terminate?

My turn to share my porting experience after learning so much from the people here.
I’m porting from Zym to 8.

Yesterday 3pm apply port over at Ubi.
Ard 10+pm, my iPhone shows No Service.
This morning 9am inserted the 8 card and everything is working fine.
Yes, they do porting on Saturday night.

Very smooth porting over process. Everything settled by the friendly boss, on my part only produced my IC and made first payment to him.
No Q, registration settled within 3 minutes 😅😅😅

Went to do my port in on Sunday at Ubi too but my line still haven't port over yet. :(

Email Eight and no reply from them at all also.

Oh dear… is it your main line? Port in from which telco?
Btw, you don’t happen to have 2 existing lines with 8 right?
