subjected to fair usage policy. depends on how the company define on fair usage policy. for orange, their fair usage is about 2000minutes.


you dont need any special requirement to buy postal order.

i m helping my fren to buy something in ebay uk...so if let say that thing is 18 BGP,so what is the range of the postal order thay have in post office?

never heard about any special postal order.wat i normally did is just bring the stuff to post office and weight for it...the staff will tell u how much is it..if u want insured..ask for sigh for package....but this service is onli insure within in uk area...once..the your stuff being sent to plane(malaysia) u stuff in nolonger insured...

Postal order discussed here is a means of payment

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_order

quoted from wikipedia "a crossed postal order must be paid into a bank account" so i need to have a bank account 1st only can use postal order?

It is for the receiver of the postal order. You don't have to have a back account to purchase one.

Sorry for interrupting; but I would like to ask fellow Bristolians(University of Bristol students preferably), does any of you a member of the Malaysian-Singaporean Students Association(MSSA) ? Do you like to play football? I'm considering to form a team for the intramural league. PM me if interested.

Ebay works really well with paypal in UK. Have a try with it.

I used to associated my paypal with my bank accounts in UK.

yeah,agree..but u have to have a cc 1st or debit card..so no matter how..u have to open a account 1st..for intenational student.i think natwest is da gd choice.ease to get a cc

sorry this may out of the topic for this thread ...so how does pay pal works?only uk credit only can apply or malaysia credit card oso can?

i've linked my paypal directly to my bank account (natwest), so no need credit card at all. the system uses direct debit, just requires ur debit card details and ur address. im gonna maintain the account forever, so that when i come back to msia, i have easy access to buy stuff online.

so the paypal thingy need any maintainence fee for direct debit?btw...if u come back msia ur address will be different so how u gonna maintain the paypal when u r back in msia?cheers

i also got problem with o2,orange and t-mobile...maybe thinking to buy just pay as you go handphone, mean using prepaid only, top up 10pound unlimited time.

as far as i can remember, once u've setup ur paypal to ur bank, u only need to maintain ur bank account. i've checked at natwest, as long as my account is active, i can use it eventhough i've permanently moved abroad. there's no fees or whatever. they require u to keep an account active by atleast adding GBP 5 every 6 months.

I have a question.

I'm taking electrical and electronic engineering courses in university and I've put in Imperial, Manchester, Bath, Birmingham and UCL as my 5 choices. However, there's a bit of reluctance putting in Birmingham and UCL. Can anyone suggest which University is suitable, or better, for EEE courses.

Note: Southampton doesn't offer the course I want.

Would greatly appreciate your help.

i assume by "I'm taking EEE courses..." u mean u're applying for it, not currently sitting for it, right?

can u tell us why u're reluctant of applying birm and UCL?

shouldnt be reluctant to put birmingham for engineering course.

doesn't really matter as long as you can make up your mind / assume / confident you will be offered for places, and all you have to do it put on as first choice and the other as insurance place.

Added on October 7, 2007, 8:10 pmyes exactly, just bring cash, fill in the form, payee details etc and that is fine.

you will need a debit card from uk to apply for paypal. relatively easy, but keep it safe, else easily commited to identity fraud.


no maintenance fee is required. you will need updated and active bank account. they charged you only when you subscribe to more features, transfer of higher amount, or certain charge upon receiving money to paypal and transfer them into your bank account.

it does really seems you have bad credit problem.

make sure u dun hav any bad debt record...ur record shuold be alright...or u can apply ur contract phone tru online ....
bear in mind everytime u check ur credit score..the credit score will drop ..

apply via online will check the credit too. as long as you apply for mortgage, phone on contract, overdraft facilities, credit card, or a lot of thing, you credit score will be checked.

i dont know that your credit score will drop everytime you check it though. is that true?

yup ,they wil check ur credit score even u appply online..but the rule is not tat strict if compare to walk in shop..
somtime u can bluff a bit like ur add ---?put it 2 to 3 year la..who knows..
