If thats the case.... i have to throw my number away. Luckily only my family members know my phone no. I will try to apply a new postpaid by today.

By the way, if I need to call back Malaysia frequently, the Starhub $38 postpaid plan is suitable for me right? It mentioned that by just topping up another $5, I can call back to Malaysia for free, which is IDD 018 if memory serves me right.
*

yes and no.
38 is 100 minutes only right?
top up converts ur 100 minutes to be eligible for the 018...else it is 16cents/min if i am not mistaken.
so after u finish up ur 100 minutes, u will get charged.
i may be mistaken...need to check my wife's bill.
it is not exactly free.
even on prepaid...it is not exactly free.

Gosh.... 100 min... i guess i can finish it up in a day....  rclxub.gif
local call portion is it like what crazy mentioned which is 16cents/min? That's a lot.... shocking.gif
*
Can't quite remember the exact amt after u go over the limit, but maybe u wan a higher package?
or just stay wif prepaid is what i think (just my opinion, no real calculation done) is the best if u call a lot.

But if using prepaid to call back JB.... it would be quite costly. cry.gif

Just now went to Starhub in Nex Serangoon. Reach there is a long long queue which need to wait estimately around 1 hour. That time i wait is around 9pm. Which means if i continue to wait, they will close the shop. tongue.gif I guess I have to come there again tomorrow earlier abit. haha.

Anyhow, I will try to ask the seller there whether he/she can give me some more advice.  nod.gif

u using starhub prepaid right?
use the happy 128 thingy...pay 28 giving u 100 local and 28 overseas credit (but only 50 days validity)
not sure the 018 is considered which one.

018 is consider oversea one ba...just dail with cheaper rate onli i think.
btw, the 2GB data plan is only for singtel or all telco?mine still have 5 month left, when is the earliest i can recontract??
*

If you do not wan the internet, no matter how u look at it, prepaid is still cheaper
16cents/min (which if i remember correctly is not that high) is equivalent to 175minutes with 28 bux credit.
the 100 bux local credit will basically make your incoming calls...free.
there can also be times where the ppl from m'sia call you (with 02, it is not IDD)


QUOTE(lordchaos91 @ Jun 7 2012, 12:12 AM)
oh...then hw bout telephone bill? i wan call back m'sia quite often
*

if you do not need the internet package, go prepaid.
aim for the reload with "split" credit for local and international.

Yesterday i tried to call back my gf for around 30min using prepaid. I checked back the balance, it just costs around $2 ( with IDD018 ), so I think i'm still able to call back frequently. But then I do need the internet plan for my bus route apps and other stuff. Checked with Starhub they said the data plan prepaid can only get in either HQ or another place... ( forget where is it , i think should be suntec city ).

I'm still looking into ways of getting the data prepaid plan, without data plan, it just so trouble during outside.  laugh.gif

i think starhub main is plaza singapura
the other main stores...can't remember all, should be vivo city i think.

The one i have should be the green prepaid which allows me to have data plan. But then, it costs a bomb. I remember two days ago, I just topped up $38 to my prepaid. But at night I realize my balance is 0. I guess data access is the culprit. So i need to get the data prepaid plan in a cheaper way.

O ya, thanks for reminding me. Its plaza singapore and vivo. I remember those as they are quite far from my working place. ( or maybe place I stay).

they have a prepaid card for data also.
i think it is 7bux for a week wif 1.5gb data or something like tat.
u need to ask them. laugh.gif laugh.gif

Yeah, I think i really need to pay a visit to them tonight... Plaza Singapura.

O ya, and one more thing. Usually we take CW2 from bugis back to JB right? There is another transit bus which is 170. I found out that this bus also stopped at Little India MRT. Anyone how frequent it comes? I can't decide which one is the best method to reach JB using the shortest time.

Last thing is that, I just got my EP card this morning. Can I use it for card scanning during custom check? Or i still need to take queue for the officer to check for it? Thanks
*
You can use gothere.sg for route planning in Sg.
It can link you to SMRT / SBS to see the interval timing of buses. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
The scanning at autogate is using passport instead of the EP card...not sure if your passport has been "activated" or not.

Thanks for the link  smile.gif . I will check this once i back from work.

I asked my colleague and he said that usually once I got my card I can scan it already. Not sure whether it is true or not. Tomorrow will give it a shot once i back home.  laugh.gif
*
Unverified source...the card was implemented a long time ago, but possibly scrapped and you need to apply and pay for that card. (fren told me, cause i asked him the same question and he said he had tat card)
Now, use your passport...FREE.
I suggest you try the gate first...if kenot, the most malu a while and others staring at you then go queue at counter....if can, walla, fast lane.

Did you recently renewed your passport? If you did, you need to update the correct dept.

err...i only have CCNA module 1 which is integrated in my university course. which telco company that u can advise me to apply? Singtel?

Being a fresh grad, my advise would be to not choose the company.
Instead, let them choose you...meaning just mass apply to any company.
Gain some experience, then come back with that application.

Not all cards require 60k per annum.
DBS live fresh is one if I am not mistaken.
However, by default, banks will want to promote their "popular" cards which requires the 60k per annum req. sweat.gif sweat.gif

is it better to apply a CC there even if you already had 1 locally?
shouldn't the charges be more or less the same?
*
i say yes.
but it depends on whether u have self control or not.
there are perks that entitles u to different privileges by different banks.
furthermore, there is no government tax here.
there is also the issue of conversion rate which u will be imposed every time you swipe (which may not be that attractive)

How higher? >300 ?? why it happen??

a lot higher...lets just say it is a totally not normal range (very much way off the scale) for a fresh grad
why? i suppose too specific which in turn means u are stuck in that job forever cause unable to transfer skillset outside of the company.
