I just ditched M1 and ported to eight...haven't activated....hopefully will be good...fingers crossed

I tried to port over my son's Starhub line to Eight and received message that port in is unsuccessful?  Need to wait a few days or you can't port Starhub to 8 given they are the same company?

Thanks. Looks like i need to wait a few days to verify. 

If not, maybe port over to Gomo to enjoy Singtel's 5G at reasonable price.

I used Eight in japan. Roaming works fine. 

The auto-recharge is very easy to switch off lol.

 

My wife and kids using eight in Japan. KDDI. All good so far.

Happy to report that Eight 2gb international roaming worked seamlessly for my one week Japan trip. They also sent notifications when reach 50%, 85% quota and cut off data when 100% so there's no accidental overage.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

There isn’t any possibility for more than 2GB unless you top up and pay. So hit 2GB, just cut off.

Anyone know for "eight" how to link two different lines under one account. Both registered under my name. Can I manage the two lines under one log-in.

Lol I used about 80% before I went USJ. Then I thought I might exceed at USJ. So I bought another 1gb. In the end cos I was only reading web novel during the waiting times, and it was too cold so don't want to bring my hands out.

Haha only started using that 1gb while on the nankai express to the airport.

When I had fibre broadband, it was terminated at my MBR, where I put the router there.

Then, my desktop was connected by a long ethernet cable. Bedroom and living room tv were connected via wifi, bcuz it's difficult to run long cables and put up trunking etc.

Today, I was making long ethernet cable for testing and suddenly thought about: why not I just put the MR600 SIM router beside the living room tv and use a short ethernet cable, and not use wifi and extender ?

I was so used to the FIXED router location, that I forgot SIM router is MOVABLE, it is MOBILE ! 😁

 

IMHO.

I am running 2x long cables.

My main router wifi is off.   I am using powerline to pipe the traffic to another router which is more centralised.

I have 2x 4G routers that were bought, IIRC, around 2019 or before.  They were not comissioned for use because the plans at that time had not a lot of data. 🤣  Now, 4G had more data but we are already 5G. 🤣 

Also so much so that except fixed computers, am virtually on mobile data at home.  😆 

P.S.  The other day I was just thinking to bring my soon-to-be-purchase 5G router in the vehicle to make it fully mobile. 🤣

Anyone know what M1 number to call for termination of service. Called 1627. Useless...frustrated. no human available to chat. 

How did your cancel your M1 services.

If you port over, I thought it is automatic?

Done. Settled. Cancelled all my fiber broadband with M1. 1 effective today. 3 effective next Monday 23. 

So frustrating engaging with live chat...haiz anyway last dealing with M1. No more.

Your networked seems complicated. Office or home ?

Mine is just a simple one, One 4G, one 5G routers, separate networks. Just for tv streaming and mobile phones, mainly. Plus one IP cam, smart socket, wifi extension. Will be adding smart lights soon. 😁

Thought for termination of service, can only call their 1627 to do it?!

Anyway, nowadays all teleco service super bad, none of them are good esp if you have issue.

@#^#*@*#& (that is vulgarity...)

1627..answer by AI generated Ms maxis...something... no option to select 1,2,3..no human agent!!! 

Eventually log in M1 app. Use their chat.  That Ms Maxrz again. At least this time can request a live agent chat. Still words chat. Not over the phone!
