Why 15454 ? Why cannot have a normal phone number ? Easier to remember but most (if not all) telcos consider this special number so higher charge. Why can't have 15454 and another normal number as alternative?
For example 03 CALL TNB (2255862) or 03 TNB HELP (8624357)
Yes, use landline call this number is normal rate , but during electric outage how to call using landline ? Are there landline phones that is powered by battery ? Do I need to buy one just so I can call them at normal rate during power outage ?

For those concerned : Yes, I am using cordless phone, because that's what provided for me during sign up

Umm, just an FYI, DECT/cordless phones (which is what most households have?) do not work during power outages, as the base needs to be connected to a power socket to work... whistling.gif

Since TM is giving this cordless phone for all new unifi subscribers, maybe ts is a 2" never seen normal phone before.

Tips for ts, spend some money and buy those cheapo normal phone. The one that comes with cord. Tesco got. Mydin also got. If want cheap maybe some second hand shops, for sure got some disposed by offices. Or ask nearest TM office. Maybe they got some spare old ones.

If you can find model with rotary dial also ok. Have fun trying to call 099098909.
