Changing sim doesn’t mess up anything but iMessage and FaceTime, of which nobody really uses in sg where WhatsApp is dominant.
Not forget to mention SIM card temp no. will not be changed for porting in. Also, tethering needs to do some action before it can be used. I don't know what other hassles imposed by Apple... Last times, it was worst, audio format is only restricted to iTunes format, lightning port, etc. Things improved, yet not ideal still.

yeah. faster go collect and port in b4 30sep to get free $8 when you top up from eight

can use shopee to top. Still get $8 from 8
Actually if I port in online and pay the $8, doesnt it mean when I activate I will get the free $8?

No promotion code is needed across online channels and retailer outlets, eligible customers will receive $8 credits within 7 business days into the main wallet.

So I can port in online process, and when I get the sim, activate within 14 days, and get total of $8 + $8 right?

The initial $8 paid is for an Eight line. You're assigned a temporary number? That $8 is tagged to that number.

No?

We only know that when top up $8 will get one time $8 credit free.

For your situation you have to check with eight, coz all other situations we encountered were when number already ported in.

no point trying to reason your way through, since eight may not share the same reasoning

Oh, you still have kids lines… then all the more you need more poison… so many lines have to find more ways to save
Ikr… total 4 lines with eight.
Previously only 2 sim/pax. So wife and I each holds 2 accounts.

Definitely got savings! But the money saved nowhere to be seen! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Still trying to figure out how to achieve the $5/mth by @alex22 albeit no biggie as $6 is definitely fine with me!

Just the hassle of waiting for 12pm every other day
