Depends on telcos. Mine normal numbers have bundle, I never finish them so I never get charged for normal callsSpecial calls to 1300 and 1800 depends on telcos, mine 30 sen per minute
Why do companies use 1300 / toll free numbers?

QUOTE(amxpayne67 @ May 29 2017, 02:11 PM) the number can be used no matter where the office location is. Can the 03,04,05 or whatever those localized number be used after you relocate your office to another state? Companies large enough to have 1300 numbers won't relocate that often. I think they are ways to connect your calls even after you relocate |

in the days long before handphones were popular n when the land line was king, the toll free n 1300 numbers were likely marketing tools to get customers call companies in the service sector eg. retail or food or hospitality or insurance, etc. to get further information on their products without having to pay for the call or at the cost of a local call even when calling from outstation.

QUOTE(Kim Bi Jan @ May 29 2017, 02:10 PM) Copy Paste from TMEach local call is charged at 8 sen for the first 2 minutes or part thereof and 4 sen for each subsequent minute or part thereof. Example: Local call being made for 3.5 minutes - total charges : 8 + 4 + 4 = 16 sen. I use Unifi and add RM20 extra for unlimited call throughout TM network. It also comes with 600min worth free call (I think this include international call as well) Using cellphone, the rate depends on the company or organization you call. There is no fixed rate I believe. |
