Oh so eight gives out 5G sim despite being 4G only for now.
The SA part might not be that surprising, starhub has been given their MVNO like Giga & MyRepublic 5G SA for a couple of years, so I won't be surprise if their 5G NSA is ready for shutdown or even already shutdown.

Mine is esim. Does it matter? U mean physical sim got different between 4G or 5G?

I tot even eight has no 5G nowadays should not have the existence of 4G only SIM card.

Tried to make roaming calls in Bolehland using eight.

1) call Lion City no
2) call Bolehland local no

both are quite good. clear voice.

a big plus point for eight.

Not bad.

port-in starts at 11:01pm and around 12:30am++ I checked the eight website and already see my no ported to eight which could have been ported even earlier.

And managed to activate the ported no on eight for iMessage and FaceTime on my iPhone as well. Took around 15 to 30 mins to verify and activate.

I used to buy eSIMs off shopee etc, but starting from Dec 2024, just relied on roaming data for CN and other Asian countries that i travel to. So far so good.
Primary SIM is on eight.

It’s the convenience when using the bundle allowance. I was hoping the data allowance would increase for China but it is what it is.

You say leh. Apple users only see this when its available to them.

Android users see this option all along. My phone has 5G Standalone option on, even though my plan wasn't on 5G.

It is really something apple feature to excite users. For us android users, 5G Standalone option:cautious:
