Don't port liao
sampan too full, can capsize any time.
Hahaha

Haha.. The monthly subscription price is irresistible. like half of what i paid for giga. Lol

How is your experience compared to giga? My main line under giga, not sure want to port to eight or not.
I just feel eight slightly unresponsive compare to giga, not sure if is because of the phone different.

I was also previously from Giga. My first month with eight had no issues; speed and stability mostly same with Giga. Then now is my second month with Giga. Second month noticed the speed a bit slower than first month and webpage takes some time to load — not like take a very long time lah, just few seconds longer than first month

I think you don’t port first lah. You wait and compare the two lines loh

I only have 1 line, so my comparison can only be before and after porting into eight

All the rest of you, please wait till eight got 5G and increased bandwidth then port over. Don't congest the network liao.

Please port out to Simba. Many brudders here say Simba good

FAQ says Ubi only Mon-Fri, but someone tried Sat before and was able to apply port-in.

Anyone know if it is still open Saturdays now? Planning to go today. Thank you.

I have an existing Eight $0/88GB plan that is expiring on 7 Oct.
I like this Eight number but I prefer a SIMBA plan.

Anyone tried and successfully port over the number without signing up with any Eight's plan. If yes, how can this be done?

Or do I have to sign up at least a few month with Eight to officially own the number and port over later?

You are free to port, eight won't be stopping you. Since you have already used their lines for at least a month, you are free to port out. Just sign up at SIMBA website and select port in number from eight.

For eight I realized after 12am the speed becomes like 1mbps. Do they do maintenance after 12am? These few days 12-2am+ less than 1mbps. Cannot play YouTube smoothly.

No biggie for me though. People usually contact me via WhatsApp nowadays.

Not as if I’m going to order Pizza Hut while in Malaysia.

Can I check if any one has encountered early expiration of the trial SIM? Managed to snag a trial 88-day SIM on Aug 29 and I did receive a SMS 3 days ago to renew the number but ignored it since this is a 88-day trial.

Today, access to services have been cut.

Does this count :

I got the trail sim on 8th Aug. suppose to be free for 3 months.
Just checked and Eight states:

Current Cycle Expiry is 7/10/2024.
Your future plans: Super Eight Plan starts on 2024-10-08

Supposed to be one more month. So if I did not check, then I may have the services cut too.
