Anyone used portable hotspot when overseas with Eight sim card before, does it works?

Phone to Phone works, Mifi to Phone not sure. But i believe most likely should be ok too.

Same, my 5G Value Eight plan auto upgraded to 5G+ Power plan as well.

My next recharge is 10 Oct.
I've previously manually set next recharge to new 5G+ plan.

Since eight auto upgraded before new bill cycle, does that mean I'll get current unused roaming data rolled over on 10 Oct? Means I'll get 36GB APAC roaming data for use in China?

I checked their latest tnc and faq seems like apac and international roaming data won't get rolled over.. only applies for msia Indonesia Thailand hk and SG only..

Check FAQ under 5G+ services.

What data rollover and roaming features are included?

All 5G+ plans feature data rollover for local, APAC, and International (Group A) roaming. Coverage includes Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Hong Kong standard, with the Ultra and Supreme plans adding Japan, China, South Korea, and Australia.

Check FAQ under 5G+ services.

the last line- ultra and supreme plans cover the other countries... so safe to say the cheapest 5g+ plan only cover the 5 countries rollover rite??

Guess we will know soon when those of us who have just been auto-updated to the 5G+ plans rolls into the next month reports in.

if you go to your EIGHT dashboard and you happen to be on any 5G+ plan,
you'll see "includes rollover data" below your APAC roaming data and intl roaming data.... this wasn't there previously when there was only data rollver for "local" data

5G plan got no rollover for roaming data, but once you upgrade to 5G+, it is stated below the roaming data with inclusive of rollover data.

pop the sim card into your phone and see if it's working.

i had mine lapsed for 5 months only to be ported out. 6 months maybe you are pushing the limits.

Previously i had it lapsed for more than 90 days and it was fine though.
