Eight Telecom discussion thread

hmm, dont understand, why need VOLTE to call? Cannot use 3G to call?

Starhub havent close down 3G, only M1 close down 3G

i guess i need to camp at marina barrage later to test this
to get indo signal.

sianz lah, the list of VoLTE operator is not a lot.

$8 a month I can accept. Just use data to call lo. But honestly, the network priority here for eight really solid (it feels like my line is local line). Previously I used VIVIFI and ZYM, the network really prioritised quite badly. Like can really feel that you’re getting second grade network with 2 bars, 3 bars, or even 4 bars but no cannot load. I was comparing with my local friend, my signal here using eight even better and faster than his.

those who are heading to Indonesia like Batam or Jakarta to meet your cewek this weekend, let me know if you can make/receive calls when you are there.

On August 18th, I was there and I could receive and make calls leh.

Now I see the list, Indo got no more Network operator for VoLTE calls.

Wah piang I hedged months 14 months ahead and they removed Indo's VoLTE operator. cheesepie.

Heng I got simba as backup.

Aiyoh! No need so troublesome.

"After 60 days, you will continue to receive SMS, however all unused wallet credit will be forfeited."

This is the confusing part, so after 60 days, you can still keep the number?

cos eight is not clear if after 60 days, will they terminate the number?

Or you try to topup $8 on the 100th day, the number will revive?

This is what I am trying to find out too.

Not sure if I can stop using the line for more than 60 days then do the top up when I want to use it again.

Unless you factor vouchers and coins which varies per person, it’s still 7.45 and above

Some years back in Batam I used WhatsApp calls, thus never saw the need for free IDD. You guys sure got many calls to make /receive.

Aiyoh! No need so troublesome.

later go east coast park cycle around, sure kena indo operator

East Coast old road safety park area confirmed have, coz I kena charged for calling via Indonesia network to a friend who's within sight, just too far to talk in person.
