recently when i go to my dad's shop to help him, i always see those workers from indonesia go to the petrol station to top up their hp credit ler. really curious how come they spend so much on the phone. so i went to ask them and just realized that they have to make call back to their country to stay connect with their friends and family. jz wondering is the international call rate that expensive? cz i really see them top up everyday leh.

maybe you can suggest him to use IDD,different telco offer different rate now. you can ask him to do a simple survey and choose the most suitable telco for himself..

i heard my fren told me celcom xpax is offering low rates for IDD now..there are different rates to call to different country such as thailand,india,indonesia,china and many more other countries..i think that the call rates is quite affordable,indonesia also quite cheap,only start from 9sen.. you can find the rates from this website http://www.xpax.com.my/idd_prepaidcoveragerates

It is understood that every one has
different choice. If no, how the various telco in the market going to
survive…hahaha
Like me, I prefer celcom cz the rates
offered by them is low and sumore their coverage is wide compared with
others..but I more preference with the data plan…did celcom has any good plan
for data ?hahaha
