5G fever very contagious

It's like 4G in the past, and the current 4G will become the past 3G. Still, life goes on.

 

[Jirachi]

yes $8 plan.

Nice. Now a good consideration once IMDA approves that take over plan

I kept receiving emails from Nokia 6G presentation, showcasing their 6G technologies, just after I happen to click into one of their roadway showcase. I wonder what 6G will bring us in the next decade.

i activated the esim of eight $8 plan since monday (22 sept 2025).

To be fair, my experience with data roaming of eight in jaybee is not too bad.
Most of the time i manage to roam to CelcomDiGi 4G, Maxis 5G/4G and also U mobile 4G. Most of the time i have good connection no issue with data access, very very rare occasion it got into CelcomDigi EDGE (once), other than that, am on 4G so speed is good for youtube streaming and web browsing.

Good thing is that it does not stick to one roaming partner (while setting on my iPhone for the esim the network selection is set to auto). so it actually chooses the best roaming partner to roam to. So overall, i actually encounter less blindspots than before.

comparing to vivifi, almost 100% time i am on maxis 4G/5G while 4G is more often. last time when manual select network, only can connect to maxis. now if manually select celcomdigi it will work as well, but only manually select it will connect to it, never auto. but since it only auto roams to maxis only, sometimes can still face blindspots for maxis.

but $8 eight plan has no 5G in lion city and they do not offer 5G plan even it shows 5G SA capable.

i ported in like 4 months ago suddenly i cant access the app as well. No OTP. wondering if its the same issue. my passkey show a something went wrong error in red.

weird is my other older eight line dont have this issue. contacted eight they send me a long email of FAQ answers. wth

my guess is that it only affects service with no port in. i assume or other older eight line are new no previously without old no port-in.

it works when i am on temporary eight new no, but once ported in, it does not work anymore including the passkey method.

VoLTE can hear people's voice crystal clear.

So what's VoNR? Can hear your aura, hear the bass, treble? Or hear voice on Dolby Atmos?

LTE = 4G. NR (New Radio) = 5G.

It's just Voice-over [Data Network].

That's why WoWiFi makes sense - Voice over WiFi.

Volte, vonr or even vowifi, call minutes still deducted right?

Yes, but not for incoming minutes in many case.
And for many they have too much outgoing minutes to spare anyway.

Mobile numbers can now be added together to be managed under 1 account

For number to be managed:
Service > Service Preferences > Check box "I would like to allow my service to be managed by another account"

For main account:
Account > Manage Service > Mobile Number > OTP

May be can hear your heart pumping and the blood flow.

5G SA is just hype but guess we are all too bored sticking to the same telco
