| 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..

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 |
