With scam on the rise, no longer possible. That is why I opt for physical sim card for my primary line from ZYM Mobile.. Primary line is linked to SingPass etc.. for 2nd line aka eight mobile.. can always go to svc ctr and no hurry..

erm I just applied a new esim plan on Eight website using Singpass, got a QR from email immediately after submitting credit card details, scanned and now all working in less than 5 mins. Not sure what you guys mean by have to go do to verify

they are referring to change of new esim QR. Meaning change new phone, require another esim QR code. You cannot do it online due to security issues.

wow, that is fast, thanks for sharing, I will try to convert to EIGHT from SIMBA next week

 

[armadilloshield]

Eight confirm better , I'm 99% confident.

sound convincing... I will try to change to EIGHT next week, and see the outcome

too many factors to allow generalisation and drawing conclusions based on others' situation. eg, depends on how well "isolated" is your basement carpark is, band that phone is connected to and the base station location, and probably the phone too (antenna, RF performance).

by isolated, means no openings to the sky. mine has regular vents, so signal gets thru, just a matter of how far from the vent - your carpark may be different and hence different results).

Tested on Simba, eight, MR 4G (aka m1), singtel (hi-card). In the basement all connected on B8 (900MHz), 4G

due to placement of towers, for signal and speed in the basement carpark, Simba and eight get best reception, singtel halfway, MR/m1 the worst (situation changes when above ground, and certainly will be different from yours, unless you stay in same place as me )

only you can determine which has the best for you. suggest you try them out for the minimum stay. MVNO is cheap, no contract, at worst pay for 2 months. if good, keep/port in. If no good, cut.

Thank for your feedback, my basement carpark at Pinnacle@Duxton, not sure if same carpark haha...

 

[palmtungsten]

Same experience. Fast and convenient. Scammer can do it on your behalf if they have your SingPass login capability

I am going to port into eight from redone but I wish to time it coz Redone doesn’t offer prorated paymen, meaning I have to pay the same if I use one day or 30 days. Any idea how long it takes for the porting over? Is it apply online and collect SIM card from one of the locations listed on their website?

 

[portingout]

you try and tell us, everyone also have different issue

sound convincing... I will try to change to EIGHT next week, and see the outcome

That's funny.... I had a similar and awesome sign up experience with Eight, including number porting.... But for 4 days I have had no internet, no calls and no support. I am going the other way. Eight -> Simba now.

You signed up for new eSIM, but the other is asking about getting a new eSIM which the presumption is to move the eSIM to a new device etc.
Totally different use case. lol

hmmm you mean after port in to EIGHT, your phone down for 4 days? if down for 4 days, a little too long
Do you sign up online, or go to EIGHT retailer? using eSIM or SIMcard?
But most important to me, how is the general reception? especially at the basement carpark.
I'm on SIMBA now, basement carpark at my house no signal at all.
Thank you for sharing....
