Thanks for the reply. Meaning once I apply the package I can have 5 phone number to use?
Do I need extra device for this to work and pay extra monthly charges? 

Where can I find more information? Thanks a lot.

you want extra phone line is it?

for biz package i think you can get up to 6 lines for RM25 per line per month (cheaper than normal fix line which is RM48 for business)

for vip i think 2 lines only, don't know how much per month. logically, should be less than RM25.

to get the extra line, just call CS. but, it will better to go to TM point and talk with them if you want to choose nice number. over the phone, they will just read available numbers to you, which is kind of hard. you might take the whole hour just to decide which number to accept. and the phone call is not free.

they will provide you with all the equipment, but since the BTU already have one RJ11, if you just add 1 line they will just bring 1 normal phone. not wireless phone. but in my case, the phone was spoilt, and they have only wireless phone in their van. so we got wireless phone. which we didn't use btw because that line is for fax.

opendns has dnscrypt feature for protection last mile.

unifi dns they block access to certain websites .......

but if use thirdparty dns like opendns or googledns, you get some latency, and probably slower download speed. Not to mention when you use third party dns, your bandwidth quota MAY be used up quicker, because unifi dns uses because it may interfere in your pc connecting to the closest akamai servers. You can read more about that here.
So me personally, i leave default unifi dns normally. But when i want to circumvent the website restrictions, i use opendns with cryptdns enabled.

The best router to work for Unifi is Linksys E4200 V1 with a third party tomato variant firmware installed e.g. Victek's RAF, Toastman, Shibby..... because they have

1. VLAN management, which you need to get it to work for Unifi
2. Has very good bandwidth monitoring. I use CIFS to store my bandwidth logs,
3. for shibby and victek's RAF they have dnscrypt for opendns if you need that extra protection.
4. there is VPN functionality, which is best used on the router rather than on your pc. Although not everyone wants to pay for VPN service, at least the feature is there if you need it.
5. tons of improvements over stock firmware which usually remains stagnant in development, so not much incentive to improve, when they can just sell you the newer model instead  laugh.gif

Anyway got newer routers available, so as long as it's broadcom cpu based, and is supported by the top 3 tomato variants, and it checks out in the performance department over at smallnetbuilder, then that should be fine.

the link that "educate" you about dns, apparently that guy got confuse with dns resolution and hosting with CDN.

dns data is negligible. the latency also kind of negligible. and i guess you have no idea tm dns will also query root server to resolve dns. do you believe tm server query is faster when google's server sit side by side in the same room with root server?
