Sorry. I knew there are cheaper International package, but just want to know the answers if cases below happened.

For example I used DIGI as sample:

Just want to know what will happen if,

Case 1:
Me in Malaysia calling my friend traveling in Singapore(I duno my friend was in Singapore), both of us using DIGI line, how is the charge?

Case 2:
I called my friend in Singapore number, me using DIGI line, how is the charge?

Case 3:
Me in Singapore calling my family in Malaysia, me using DIGI line, how is the charge?

Case 4:
Me and my friend both using DIGI line calling each other in Singapore, how is the charge?


Charging both side DIGI line?

Assuming your telco isn't applying one of RM3x a day or RM10 a day roaming packages, the following is just the normal non-package charging:

You are charged the normal charge for a call to a Digi number.
Your friend is charged a re-routed call from MY to SG + receiving a call (in SG, receiving call is normally charged) + roaming surcharge

You are charged a normal IDD call to SG.
Your friend is may or may not be charged for receiving a call (the majority of call plans in Singapore count receiving calls as chargeable).

You are charged for IDD call from SG to MY + roaming surcharge.

You are charged for IDD call from SG to MY + roaming surcharge.
Your friend is charged a re-routed call from MY to SG + receiving a call (in SG, receiving call is normally charged) + roaming surcharge.

For the actual call pricing check this page.

In all those scenarios I assume the standard roaming charges (as practised since the 1990s) apply.
In fact nowadays in 2016, the big 4 Malaysian telcos all offer daily roaming charges that limit what you pay every day (typically RM30+, but sometimes cheaper than that).

Great info. Thanks.
So how much is the charges for 'each case above' for both of us?
Assumed 5 minutes call for each case.

Right now the Digi website roaming rates page ( http://new.digi.com.my/roaming/international-roaming-rates ) is down. But when it's back up, you can see the call rates when you're roaming in a particular country.

For calls from Malaysia to overseas, you can go to this page:
