Sharing my timeline porting in from ZYM sim card to Eight esim, all done online

19 Aug 4pm - signed up and activated line, request to port in
20 Aug 11pm - ZYM line no more signal, but number not yet ported
21 Aug 12am+ - porting still not done
21 Aug 9am+ - number ported in successfully

might have been ported in earlier in the midnight or early morning but i only checked and confirmed at 9am+.

i also dropped them an email on 20 Aug noon to get them to expedite the port in, but not sure if it helps cos no acknowledgement and no response. but glad all done and signal is okay so far.

How is the signal compare to zym?

Regardless of telco, if you receive an incoming while you are roaming, IDD charge will be slapped, plus other ancillary charges (again, depending on telco).
I went to indo lately, and I received an incoming call. The incoming call that I answered was deducted from IDD allowance.

thanks for sharing
how about outgoing idd calls?
wonder why eight said not deducted from monthly talk time. voice roaming isn't considered idd calls?

how about outgoing idd calls?
-> Deducts from IDD minutes

wonder why eight said not deducted from monthly talk time.
-> Local airtime is for local calls within SG

voice roaming isn't considered idd calls?
-> Voice roaming is deducted directly from IDD minutes.

The principle is roaming calls in/out = IDD minutes.

iMessage - What i do is tap on number to disable, restart, den tap my number again after restart. den i go pangsai, jiak png, etc etc, den check back again, should be okay after that.
