Looks promising but it is crucial to me which telco they are leasing from.

If it is M1, its a no thanks for me.

Just checked the SGNIC WHOIS, domain eight.com.sg is registered to StarHub Ltd

Suspect StarHub will tier priority by StarHub > Giga > Eight

i was thinking about that too.
Cos they say 99% coverage. and they provide international roaming and high regional 8GB roaming.

The prices for MVNO should be lower than MNO (Simba).

no porting for now. All the free numbers and lines they giving are new lines.
Paid lines will probably come after that

Any idea if incoming calls and caller ID is free?

Yup yup, I meant once they start allow porting and the offerings are good enough to port over to.
