How's using Eight data roaming in Malaysia (JB)? So far, mine has been pretty inconsistent and mostly quite slow and unusable compared to my Gomo and Maxx.

I have local malaysia umobile plan, when I do speed comparison at my house area with eight dat roaming set to umobile too, speed is higher lol. So I would say it's okay.

it supposed to be. it is the best MVNO plan in my opinion with ZERO worry of extra charge.

i think the rest of MVNOs there is chance for extra charge depending on what extra thing u use.

eight NO matter what u do, also will not incur a single cent more than what ur plan subscription fee is.

perfect for kids or elderly to use...

Hmm, same for M1 Maxx, Starhub giga and Singtel hi postpaid and Singtel Gomo. No extra charges.

Zym/Zero1/VIVIFI/CMLink: high pay as you go roaming incoming/outgoing voice and outgoing roaming SMS charges.

SIMBA??

Btw do you all perceive that Eight will have another 1 for 1 top-up promotion soon / in time to come / during one of the IT shows ? Is it a good idea to wait till then before we whacked / topped up with our Shopee points via digital purchase (ie 50% + 5% off) ?

You should ask if Simba is offering 1 for 1 topup promotion.
usually if Simba has, eight will follow.

That time i top up 1 for 1 for eight still have not break even. Need to 衡量其中的利弊, its not for everyone, i prefer to be porter.

yup, no extra charge is a super super super good bonus especially for iphone users.

every time turning on and off facetime and iMessage will trigger international SMS and incur extra charge.
now on eight it is totally zero charge, no matter how many times i did it...

Not any particular shop but Shopee itself - see earlier posts which included screenshots.

Saw the promo, switch to annual plan is cheaper. Currently on value 8 5G, switch to Fortune 8 5G annual get more data yet cheaper

How to get 50% + 5%? Not sure if they will still push out 1 for 1 anymore. Seems a lot of people are alr onboard.

For users who did not have the one for one top-up offer then yes, as long as you are okay to stick with eight for one year.

For those with the one for one top-up offer, no point to go with annual plan as you can not use the existing wallet balance to pay for the annual plan.
