Same sia.
i was waiting for important call at hospital.
Omg.

if you are waiting for any important calls, better not be on starhub.

Many many years ago, i have a bad experience with MyRepublic, giga, all under starhub.

All suffered the phantom of missing missed calls

It happened a few times, a recruiter tried to call me for a job interview but couldn't get through me. When i received an email, they mentioned couldn't get through me. But when i check my phone, there isn't any missed calls.

A google check, seems like main starhub also having this issues. Now since you are talking about this, it makes me think twice putting my work line on eight. I'm waiting for potential recruiters to call me for job interview

Hi all wanted to update all regarding my 9th day after porting to eight with no signal.

Yesterday, We received a phone text for eight saying they have fixed the issue. However, we tried using eight sim and it didn’t work. We took photos of both sims and sent back
For some background for Issue is
1) Original sim has phone and sms
2) eight sim does not have any signal.

Today we received as watsapp from eight, “Hi, our technical team has gotten back to us, and they are still investigating as the issue is a bit complex. We understand that it's been 8 days, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I'll do my best to ask them to expedite the process.”

Not sure how this complex issue has happened, but it continues our very frustrating experience with eight. May be the only way is to initiate port back now, but wonder if it may worsen the situation.

JB nia.

do monitor first. Which i don't think volte itself helps, it's something stucked in starhub.

That era our phones doesn't use volte yet, not sure this time will solve this issue.

I remember that era, my phones already got volte. That time, my other line was on m1, and had no issues witt missing missed calls. So far

@NovelLobster

your incoming calls no issue?

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

visiting it once a year/2 years since 2016. The rate of construction is astounding, not just PP, but in Sihanoukville. Not been to the border gambling towns though.
agree, very relax. esp outside of PP. Was also pleasantly surprised at the vibrant startup scene.
yah, traffic is lately much worse, was ok before covid, it's outgrowing the original Phnom Penh layout and traffic capacity.


you were working there? got residence visa?

I go there yearly or, at least, once every two years.

I first went there 10 years ago.
It was still developing.
It was maybe singapore in 70s/80s
But it was slowly developing but 2-3 years before COVID, the rate of development was astonishing.


I was finding love there

@NovelLobster

nobody calls me except the overseas call that came in from AU bank yesterday, so I won’t know.

But after seeing your post, I used my mother’s phone to call my phone. My phone did ring

Though ever since I started on eight, the option to block overseas calls/sms has always been turned off

 

[NovelLobster]

Wahhh… you have one lover in JB, one lover in Cambodia and goodness knows where else

 

[NovelLobster]

sigh… now heavy rain in my area. Wanted to go Tengah Plantation Plaza to look look see see, and maybe also test the signal.

hopefully the rain stops soon so that I can go Tengah
