Why can't eight steadily offer it that the top up offer can be done on all eight retailers? Want media to take photos of long que give them free advertisement?

They used to offer at all eight retailers for their past top-up promos, but for this round of top-up promo they restrict to their onsite booth.

That's the problem. Learn from Simba. Didn't learn the good one like free 1 for 1 top up offer

Yes just checked.

IMHO.
Anyone roam in China recently specifically Shanghai ?

Newly added 5G plan - 5G Value Eight plan

Looks like it replaces the $11.80 4G plan

Finally can see some real competition.

Yes just checked.

if the $10.80 is permanent price once subscribed before the promo end date, it is indeed quite good deal.

but i still prefer to stick to $8 haha.

I tot int roaming data is 3GB now for $8 plan but how come mine is still 2GB only?

Will start at your next plan renewal.

Will start at your next plan renewal.

Already renewed. U can see the bundled data except the int one.

Your calling time and idd also not the expected one. When is your renewal date?
I just renewed yesterday and got the 3gb international data.

Maybe wait till next renewal then see how is it? If you are very urgent in need for the international data, I think you can contact them for a solution.

I currently using eight $8 and Simba $10.

For me Eight 4G is better than Simba 5G most of the time but Simba is half price from 1 to 1 top up

Thinking to try eight or zym 5G whichever have better usability since almost same price

eight 5G10.80 limited offer
Zym 5G 10.10 6 months free trial and better roaming data APAC coverage

Thanks

Eight had 1-for-1 top up too.

If u use for china and some other 5g apac then 10 dollars would make more sense. And if u r looking out for the cheapest true 5g. Eight is one of them.

Have to check with eight. Maybe bug?

Eight done the right thing by replace the 11.80 plan to 5G at cheaper price 10.80 with same data package but yearly price unchange, yearly price should be reduce also

What is limited offer mean? Once hit the target or offered date will change plan again?

If I signed up. Will I permanent get this 5G data package for 10.80 if I don't change plan?

Thanks

This is real competition as the apac includes many countries if u check their 5g. Whereas simba has lesser. And they also has true 5g.

On and off fails to connect to wifi calling, usually does works so it hasn't been much of an issue.
By comparison, Simba & Maxx is noticeably more consistent in connecting to Wifi Calling, hardly fails.

Not sure if it is better now.

 

[Jun Jun]

Anyone facing this issue now especially those 5g subscribers?

The $11.80 plan has more international (8GB) & APAC data (26GB)

This $10.80 is basically the $8 plan with a 5G addon, the international roaming bundle is very low when compared to be Simba/Maxx $12 plans. It is closer to Simba/Maxx $10 plan instead.
