Hi guys, how's the data roaming for eight in Malaysia Indonesia and Thailand?

 

[amazingone]

Promo until Dec 4. My this spare trial line expired long ago lol

I didn't receive this promo for my expired trial line, could be because I top up my trial number before.

line will go into 60 days grace period after plan ended. so they did not kill your line even after 60 days?

Heay

Eight sent a promo sms to my previous free trial expired new numbers - renew plan $8 get free $10 credits on them. Seems like they got lots of acquisition/marketing budget to exhaust lol.

heya also give $10/$13 credits for port in. any other telcos got free credits for port in ?

Ya this is budget for acquisition. You topped up before so they already earned your money don't need reacquire you back haha.

Works very well in Istanbul, Turkey..

 

[teoma]

If I top up my main wallet, will eight deduct from it to automatically renew my plan when the time comes? Or must the renewal be done manually or only through a credit card? Thanks!

How about in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia?

Eight will deduct from wallet/credit card automatically provided the "Auto-Recharge" function is enabled.

Malaysia under Maxis can roam 5G, quite smooth.
Philippine also got 5G roaming, quite smooth also.
Indonesia just 4G roaming, i think Thailand also.

Thanks! So if I don’t have it enabled, it won’t auto-secure?

another question if you don’t mind, if I just renewed my lime but got a promo, can I renew it again? So like instead of expiring in about 20+ days, it adds another 30 days so new expiry date is like 50+ days? Or doesn’t work like that?

I don't think it's going to stack. Doesn't work here. But if you do try, please share the result here.

For the 288 mins outgoing IDD calls as part of the plan, does it mean I can call to any country outside Singapore, while i am physically in Singapore?
