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.

landline not affected by power outage, u remember that creature that fight with godzilla a while ago ? it able to send a giant wave of EMP, and landline still working. landline is super low tech, and super low tech thingy always work when high tech thingy no longer work.

btw cordless phone has battery, it uses the 12v from the landline(landline has 48v, so they usually step down to 12v) to charge or with battery.

It has battery for the section only, the base which is connected to the mains and cable still needs to be powered, otherwise you'll have a functional dect that cannot make calls.

the base uses the power from the telephone line, 20 years ago my grandfather house always has power issue and every 2 weeks or so will have power outage, we used to call tnb using the landline, and it works 100%, not even a single time it doesnt work.

Doesn't apply to Unifi as you need power to turn on the modem


*Not backing up Ts

Good if you have unlimited calls from your mobile. I always look for 03 alternatives too. Mostly to avoid the charge for special numbers cause sometimes you can be on hold for quite long. Also you cannot call special numbers from overseas.
