eight is using starhub network which is similar to my main line,  hence same APN setting.

they are on LTE and not 5G (free one of course no 5G [laugh] ), speed wise i tried at home in clementi about 50mbps only, sometime drop to 30, inside my office in town area is 200+, compare to almost 700 on starhub 5G. 

by the way dun bother with registration, just bring your nric and join the queue [laugh]

1 ID can get 2, i also thinking should i get one, if never use still have to cancel after 88 days.

you can't port over old number to these free sim for now, so no point to get it for existing lines. I am using it for my tablet or traveling to the APEC countries.

Oh they dun have an app to monitor usage yet, they have next 88 days to get the app up and running [laugh]

Pretty standard imo. The only stand out is the oversea roaming of 8gbs per month. Not sure how legit. Wait for the commercial package plans to confirm if that so.

I did ask the gal. Unless wrong info. She said there will be message requesting action upon reaching 88 days. No action(response) it will be auto cancel. 

No payment (credit card) details furnished during the collection of free sim card. 

The gal also told me one month plus they would be able to launch the app. Same go to port in of existing number. 

She said...I hear. How legit i am not sure.

You know uncle like to chat with young gal. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think numbers are sold to scammers, loads of spam with their number.

Just be careful if elderly parents are using.

I noticed most their numbers starts with 8378xxxx.  . So spammers only need 10k of numbers to generate and fire away. 😁

Anyway, even paying for subscription also get spammed. My zero1 number ("new when registered", I never give out number to anyone) also got spammed in Apr. At exactly 5pm for a week, a call will come in. The spam numbers are probably recognized by Google as it was tagged "Spam"
