SUMMARY: REDtone SIPhony 015 service is indeed a good (and inexpensive) option if you absolutely need to receive calls.
Phone tested with: Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
Overall rating: 4.5/5
Call quality: 4.0/5
Ease of use: 4.0/5 - Credit to aeiou228 for his clear instructions and troubleshooting.
Value: 4.0/5
Pre-requisites have already been posted by aeiou228, what you need to do is simply ensure that you have the "divert/forwarding" function on your Maxis/Celcom call plan. I was not able to set unconditional call divert on my Sony Ericsson K660i (yeah, vintage phone at time of writing) through both phone setting (Divert always) or manual GSM code as instructed. Anyway, managed to get call diverting/forwarding up and running by
individual phone setting ie Divert - when busy, Divert - when not reachable and Divert - when no reply.
Likewise on my fiancee's iPhone 4.
Call quality was acceptable (comparable with Skype) with echoing occuring only once during my usage period. There's also a 2-second (or less) delay as with most international calls.
Will post further details here soon.
