Uncle,

I didn't mean to offend you, apologies.

Didn't know you need to record all your voice calls with your brother. That's certainly a unique use case.

So by all means continue the overt surveillance and keep using voice calls.

Perhaps in the future WhatsApp may include the ability to record calls, in which case you may consider switching as mobile data is generally cheaper than voice call minutes.

Haha... here f simba. Simba thread f eight. Haha.
That's the one good thing IMDA did, allow seamless porting between MVNOs.

Not happy just port out, no need to make so much noise, no need to announce your departure as this is not an airport.

After all everyone has different requirements and tolerances.

And if you're not happy just port back in or port out to yet another MVNO or Telco.

Lastly, if other people bash your favourite MVNO or Telco, just let it slide. Don't be so insecure that just a few bad words against the Telco you're using causes you to lash out. If it works for you, good; but understand that others may have different experiences. (BTW I am guilty of this too so my sincere apologies, and please don't bash me.)

Does Eight feel slow or sluggish at crowded areas?
Using eight for a few days, eight 4g has less disconnection compared to starhub 4g sim only.

Speed wise OK. Phone was working well during new year countdown. Messages keep coming in whilst I was at a countdown party with fireworks

He probably did a few purchases of Recharge online. Recharge extends the renewal date, whereas the more commonly method people use is the top up Main Balance option.
Oh mine. I top up the Main Balance then log in to recharge everytime even though I enabled auto recharge. Am I doing an unnecessary action? Haha

I am worried the line suddenly cut off so I go and extend the renewal date first 😅

No worries. Both way works perfectly fine.

Just do one of it will do, no need to top up both 😅😅😅

hi guys, anyone knows if i were to sign up now for the $8 credit promotion but only activate my physical SIM after 8th Jan, would i still be eligible for the $8 credit? Since it requires time for the physical SIM to be delivered to my place.

"Any complete port in sign-up during the period is entitled to the Free $8/ $18 credit and a chance to be in the lucky draw."

So it just seems that port in sign-up is required during the period. Doesn't say anything about activation date.
