Eight Telecom discussion thread

Is this referring to the iccid?

Yes!

You can do that, but you really should wait until you're very near the end of your current 30 day cycle. When you switch to a new, more expensive tier level you lose whatever number of days/hours you had remaining in your current cycle. (When you switch to a less expensive tier, that change will be effective at the end of your current 30 day cycle.)

For eight you can actual wait until your plan expire to do that, that maximizes your current month.

surprise no need change SIM card

Not really that surprising lar, only Singtel is still on 4G sim card, m1 & starhub has been 5G sim card only for sometime.

 

[cloudystar]

Great roaming data allowance and now 5G. SIMBA will possibly be worried as well.

I'm probably staying with eight. Especially since I'm not that impressed with M1 Maxx 5G.

 

[A7997A]

How is your experience with eight wifi calling overseas ? Does it work for you ?
My experience has been it rarely works if at all.

 

[amazingone]

Not bad, just purchased the 14.80 plan and immediately got 5G.

It's nice that we don't have to get a new sim card

Eight issued 5G SA-ready SIM cards from the trial period i believe, I've been getting random 5G eight signals from time to time.

 

[Habrosus]

Nah!

I still feel they should offer 5G SA for the $11.80 plan to really stay competitive.

Probably still testing testing like back in August.

 

[therat]

If upgrade to 5G, can change back to 4G?

 

[Habrosus]

If upgrade to 5G, can change back to 4G?

Definitely Yes.

(I asked about it earlier on. )

 

[DigDub]

The 5G works with sim routers? Eg. No speed throttling.

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

If upgrade to 5G, can change back to 4G?

 

[Habrosus]

Why I said what I said.

Some/many prefer Eight over Simba due to the latter's unstable network locally. But when it comes to roaming...?

Nah!

I still feel they should offer 5G SA for the $11.80 plan to really stay competitive.

Probably still testing testing like back in August.

 

[Habrosus]

actually triple eight plan should give 888GB. look nicer

Gives me the impression Eight has a new(er) staff...

Why call $14.80 "Lucky"?

sak sei!

Purely commercial reason(s) I think, Singtel positioned around $15, M1 position around $10, so Starhub being No 2 for so long, feels that they are only slightly behind, put $14.8 lor.

with eight can add on 5G @ $2.88 sure alot ppl take

 

[A7997A]

with eight can add on 5G @ $2.88 sure alot ppl take

yea that is much more acceptable

 

[Habrosus]

with eight can add on 5G @ $2.88 sure alot ppl take

Even if just add to $8 plan and become $10.88... How auspicious!

Wanted to try 5G Eight
Last time 5G Starhub really a lot of time lost signal and end up I change to Singtel.

if it is not stable, then I continue with $8.
