Eight Telecom discussion thread

ST v SH backbone depends which one is better for u

zero1 seems to be 4g…how about eight mobile is it 5G? So ST zero 1 should be more stable and better signal right

there is no 5G for eight.
Signal is location based, so not always ST the best

Eight - 4g, Stable for some not for others .... individual preference

Until yesterday, the eight line had the VoLTE word appearing against the eight sim. But from yesterday it changed to handset symbol. Did you guys experience this change? What does that imply?

handset logo is VoWiFi on SIM1

VoLTE logo is for SIM2

 

[loganrunning]

turn off wifi, it will probably change back to VoLTE1

Haha .... let me correct myself.

VoWiFi was not functioning even when connected to Wifi until yesterday, but started to function from yesterday for eight. That is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.

good to see an MVNO support VoWifi. no change for me, nothing phone gets nothing (telco decides which models to support)
(it was supported on st postpaid, but that line is history)

Thank you for the info.
Thankfully eight signal at home and where i frequent, is good, so no need for VoWiFI (nice to have, but not a necessity)

Got a call from Eight tech team.

i was told the issue was from Indosat telecom’s vendor in charge of routing the international traffic.

the vendor name is something-sim. Never heard it. Other vendors doing this activity are tata, etc.

I wad told that the vendor was not doing its job properly. And also indosat was to blame as it did not really take a look at the number of undelivered international sms and alert its vendor. I told them can’t really blame them as who still sent international sms.

i also informed him that I could receive intl sms on my simba number without doing anything from simba’s backend. He is also not sure

But this evening i learnt that i could receive sms from Japan’s softbank number.

not sure what happened in eight’s backend with indo network.

Sigh… why so jialat one? Goodness knows if it’s system wide issue. Otherwise, those who don’t use international sms also won’t know
