Eight Telecom discussion thread

IMHO.
The best combo could be Eight pair with Simba - Celcom, Maxis and U Mobile.

Locally, for me, Eight much much faster than Simba. Eight lose out to Singtel MVNO.

Different people different needs. Some people need high upload/download speed for their usage. Some people need good coverage for call, surfing, fb, and youtube with no hiccups will be good enough. Of course high speed good coverage will be best go for Singtel or Starhub.

My context is connectivity during roam. No connectivity = no data.

That is not true in my case. Agree in some places for simba.
And do not want throttling (refer to 8), will drop it.

My experience with Simba. One year ago I signed up simba because of a very nice number. But in used simba not working good in my workplace. I chat with agent told them no signal at all at my area. Agent asked me to walk around to get the signal. I very angry asked the agent Did i need to stand in front of simba signal tower when using simba line? After that I left the line with no continue payment let it cancelled by itself.
Recently I saw another nice lucky number and signed up Simba again. This time simba work very well in my workplace. No more throttling. I am very happy that simba have improved and grow up a lot. Simba also up their plan package to compete with others mvnos. Even though the improvement didn't make simba better than other mvnos but the improvement show simba management have do their job. I think that is not bad for simba and I believe simba will keep on the improvement slow...ly.

You are right about improving from Simba especially after they offer 5G. But speed wise still can't beat Eight Starhub. So it really depend what we need and the location area we are mostly using it. As for workplace I am using in house WiFi so all is well.

If willing to spend $20 per line should go for Singtel secret link 4g plan free 5g access one year contract plan. It also have give free 3x neighbors roaming now. Very good value.

I never done the port out from Simba. But I do not think it is impossible. Maybe others can give your feedback here???

Layman term. No speed test. It is really impressive compare to my first time signed up simba. It is usable in my workplace for fb, telegram and surfing and some others apps. I can't really remember is there aeroplane I have pressed..simba is good for my daily route in NS area.

Simba regular numbers can port out after the first 30 days without charge.

I didn't know how to port out and the number is only $10 lucky number but have four 8s. No need so troublesome. I forgot about hardwarezone. Until recently I googled search for some mvnos info saw hardwarezone reviews..

But if you choose to buy one of their Lucky Numbers, what you paid upfront are the 1st month subscription as well as 50% discounted rate of that number. $10 is 50%, so unless you pay the remainder pro-rated, you've to stay with Simba for 2 years.

Meaning my $10 lucky number is still alive and kicking can be use once I plugged in the sim card into phone? I know I still own simba $10 but simba didn't send me msg for this.

Meaning you cannot terminate your line within 2 years unless you pay the outstanding of the full cost of the lucky number.

Go read their FAQ on Lucky Numbers.

I can terminate the line but need to pay the remaining 50% of the $10 lucky number after 30 days. I need to go their retail shop confess and pay the $10 or simba should chase after me for the $10?

Go to Orchard Central or Kaki Bukit to pay.

No other options? Online pay? I don't want to own simba $.

Means still the same. I purposely keep one Simba to see if they have "progress" since the early beginning.
