Hey! Yeah, I did. Voice & Data set to 4G. Data mode: Standard. Maybe I am expecting too much? What’s the standard speeds for 4G? I am getting between 3 - max. 20mpbs on Speedtest, office area in the far East.
Correct, you need to moderate your expectations. 3 to 20 Mbps indoors is quite standard for 4G. Outdoors should be faster.

Remember it isn't 5G.

Why would anyone want to buy...



When you get more at the same cost...



Which also gives you the alternative to convert to physical SIM if necessary, for even more?

Asking for a friend. :grin:

1. Tourists. They buy it when outside SG and activate it when they reach Changi Airport.
2. Supports email OTP. So it is suitable for tablets that cannot receive SMS OTP.

Sorry, wasn't clear enough. The friend meant as a local. :grin:

Since many of us top up the wallet until this or that Christmas, there won't be a reason to log in unless to change plan and such. Can manually record the deductions if the additional data and such are worth the effort.

Really wish Eight will make it easier for users to manage data-only plan (AND adjust the cost), like Simba. :crazy:

Still waiting for one day that Eight will change to account-based account management and not just OTP by SMS. :o

Guys need your advised.
I rec this msg.

Expiring soon! 3 Days Left. Your Double Eight on xxxxxx will expire on 06/04/25. Renew now at https://account.eight.com.sg or at a retailer: www.eight.com.sg/where-to-buy. Recurring credit card enabled? Just relax, your plan will be renewed automatically.

What is this?
It's a normal reminder.

If you have credit, it will just renew automatically. If not, it'll just deduct from your card and renew itself.

To be more specific for eight wallet credit, one needs to have sufficient credit inside his/her eight wallet and enable Auto-Recharge either in the Eight App or online for auto renewal.

A friendly reminder. Got people complain eight never remind them about renewal then suddenly lapse coz they forgot turn on auto recharge, also got ppl complain this is a bit annoying wanna block it. So it depends on your preference lol.

Don't understand why they're taking so long to implement. Starhub also relies on OTP?
Starhub account based leh, login to account with credentials then can view all accounts.

Eight now same as GOMO, just that Eight no need off WIFI to access account.
But both Eight & GOMO need OTP to access, damn lehceh especially if have multiple lines.
Imagine one have 10 lines with Eight, repeat for 10 times. 🥳
