Here’s my prediction for Eight’s special SG60 promo: seniors (age 60+) on the senior plan who top up for 30 years — a bargain at only $1,800 — will get an additional 30 years free. Yes, you read that right! Celebrate SG60 with 60 more years of Eight service. Simply top up $1,800 now, and you’ll get service till age 120+. All with Eight’s excellent, reliable 4G LTE. Nobody really needs 5G, 6G, 7G, 8G, 9G, 10G, or 11G service (assuming 1 “G” about every decade).

Offer not transferable or refundable.

I think this’ll be an amazing deal for seniors, especially if you can use a $50 Shopee coupon to drop the price to $1,750. For SG120 Eight will probably have another top up promotion, so I think it works.

$1800?

Can offset with $850 Aug cash payout, $800 SG60 CDC vouchers, May $500 CDC vouchers? Still got childLifeSG $500 credits. Top up for LIFE

Contract must indicate offer only for LTE 4G. Then when the govt shuts down the 4G network after 10 years, suck thumb. :LOL:

I probably shouldn't say anything, but I got a sneak peak at the promotion T&Cs. Yes, there's a 4G limitation in the T&Cs. However, it's only in Singapore. You'll still be able to roam outside Singapore on whatever networks Eight's roaming partners offer using your roaming allotments.

Seniors in Woodlands, Tuas, and other areas near the border with Malaysia might get slightly more value out of this promotion. Especially if they enjoy using their mobile phones outdoors, with a clear, unobstructed view toward Malaysia.

lol do you know that 3G network in SG are still operational, even though they say shutdown already. Some public infrastructure still using it right now, they aren't that straight forward to replace them

Actually they might else let it stay active if the network is still available until final cut-off, my 3G phones are so pitiful lying around doing nothing.

Was about to help my mom recharge when I went to Facebook and saw their $5 senior plan.

She is currently already an Eight user, on the $8 plan. Her plan expires at 12am later (soon). Do I just simply choose $5 senior plan and top up $5? Just like that ah? :o :s13: The difference ish $3 and also less local talk time and roaming. I believe she didn’t need that 588 local minutes talk time on the $8 plan.

Duno if ok to do so, but my dad passed away recently. We still keep his mobile phone to manage some stuff and I think his plan ish still active, on Simba $5. His mobile number is also unique as he paid for it and we want to keep it forever.

Can my mom sign himself an Eight line using the $5 senior plan August promo? :o
