There are no charges. Either you can, and it's taken out of your minutes allowance, or you can't.

i just received sms alert from eight that i used up 50% of roaming calls but in the apps, it still display 288 mins

so which means incoming and outgoing calls to sg will deduct from the 288 idd mins calls

Finally they have integrated Singpass.
Still not allowed for users to update account information themselves i.e. emails . lol

 

[froztheart]

does the app/web-based account manager allow saving new CVV?

one past telco i used before, only allowed deleting, so i deleted the card, then added back the card with updated details. kinda silly, but its what it is.

hope it gets solved quickly

Yup, saved the new card info, but when tying to change plan/make payment, met the error.
Still pending updates from Eight.... line is in grace currently, need to constantly chase them.

 

[froztheart]

After putting in the credit card number for the first time, press RECHARGE, choose your PLAN and PAY. After that, from the following months the system will auto deduct from the credit card.

Also turn on AUTO RECHARGE.

Yes, like I shared, faced the error when doing what you described.

but the "used" roaming mins is not updated in the account
perhaps is using dtac network, not the live update i reckon

I am unable to activate FaceTime and iMessage on eight network using my iPhone. Is it because our eight plan does not support overseas SMS? Did anyone using iPhone face the same problem?
