Eight Telecom discussion thread

I noticed I can sign up for the $0 plan again after canceling my soon-to-expire $0 plan.

Tried and tested, WORKS.

How did you do it?My 2 nbrs already cancelled via email few days back and approved.I applied online but stuck at ID.See my post #3720.

check google for the shop opening hours
not eight's.

I'd think the hours in Eight's website are those contracted to serve Eight users as service centers, since they're after all regular mobile resellers. Whether they're willing to continue during their own hours is up to them, like the Ubi one who's keen to look into "weird" occurrences as mentioned by someone here.

I think the Lucky Plaza one could be a "specialized" staff engaged in the beginning who, for some reason/s, went MIA leaving the regular reseller people to deal with Eight matters...

using different number right?
I don’t think it works for port in, no option change to $0 plan.
Need to port in or use new number for $0 plan.

Overall we can only have 2 lines. Unless you get at least one line terminated first, there's no way you can get another one. Whether new signup or port-in.
