Yes. This is correct. Reason given is that the numbers are on different "system".
This is what is keeping me on prepaid.

They have pulled it. biggrin.gif

but prepaid is expensive. receiving calls also have to be charged. shakehead.gif

100 local credit + 28 limited international credit for only $30..what do you think?

KL Traffic update:
Most of the main road around and into KL city centre are closed.
And there are really few cars on the road..
There are just like 5% of normal days car amount on road now..

this is what it should be in KL rclxms.gif not 99% cars and terrible traffic jams. shakehead.gif

Took the plunge and got the Galaxy S II from Samsung in Ipoh. RM2099 RRP... which is about S$850 (@2.45) compared to S$998 from Samsung outlets and S$890 from online websites like Whymobile and Mobilesquare etc.

but generally, you have to compromise for the warranty if you buy in MY right? unless you go to JB should you need the warranty later.

May i know what should i apply in order to work at singapore?

work pass. you just have to apply for job. once you're offered, your employer will certainly apply for you. they will decide which type of work pass to apply and subject to ministry of manpower's approval.

DBS acquired POSB yonks ago. As far as retail banking goes, you can conduct any transaction for accounts with either bank at branches & ATMs of either bank. POSB account holders use DBS' internet banking website. Most people have a POSB account because they had lots of heartland branches and ATMs during the Post Office Bank era. I use POSB for my salary because the ATMs are everywhere. What I don't use I bank into CIMB as their savings account interest ratw is the highest.

thanks seantang. i guess i will use POSB too.

Additional information from my friend. He stressed that must have work permit/employment pass to stay in singapore.
Further no one will dare to rent it without all these thing. unless u get a permit from a company then u're allow to rent. How true is this statement?
*
if the landlord doesnt provide official agreement, i doubt you'll face any problem provided that you can pay 1 month deposit + 1 month rental on the spot.

Where to find this kind of landlord? oh lord... now left me no choice. Without a place to land is extremely difficult. As that is ridiculous moving in and out from MY just for a seek of an interview.  shocking.gif

DBS/POSB internet banking requires us to get a number from the 'token' for security purpose whenever we want to log in. isnt that mean we have to carry that thing wherever we go if i want to use internet banking elsewhere.

Hi guys,

For you guys who travel often from SG-KL-SG, which flight you guys recommend? I only need the cheapest flight.

The pro and cons:-

1) AirAsia (can save u convienient fee as you can pay via Maybank2u)
2) Tiger Airways (the cheapest sometimes but cannot use maybank2u, charge u convienient fee)
3) JetStar (the most comfortable but cannot use maybank2u, charge u convienient fee)
4) Firefly (not convienient bcos near arrive in Subang)
*
AirAsia. by right Tiger is the cheapest for the fare alone but convenient fee makes it more expensive than AirAsia.

how to have them sms me? it's too troublesome to bring the token around. i know UOB by default sending the code by sms.

by default is sms i think...

i prefer token cause i go to other countries and sms might not be able to reach..

my POSB by default is token. i wish it's by sms. i have opposite thinking with you. it's more convenient not to carry the token if i'm going abroad. as long as international roaming in enabled, it should not have problem receiving sms overseas.
