Calling to 1-800 or 1-300 numbers from a mobile line typically comes with extra charges. With modern advancements, calling local numbers is now free for most mobile users. It's surprising that some businesses still rely on these outdated systems instead of upgrading to more convenient and cost-effective options for their customers. Don't you think it's time for them to catch up?

1-800 don't have. 1-300 as you said. I'm using Digi.

1800 is foc.

How much does it cost you?

1800 free 1300 need pay
Babi Mahal , KFC hotline is 1300 they fuck up and u need to call this knn hotline min 1 call need 10+RM cos they charge by minute

1-800 is free. I use Digi Prepaid unlimited

1-300 u need to pay, same with 15454

They use those for cheap business costs. Landlines kena wait TM for the service and lousy recovery.

And according to business survey, many prefer calling toll free number instead without realising they get charged from mobile.

Maxis charge both 1300 and 1800. The alternative option is to call the “overseas” number

how bout unifi 100

Maxis do not charge for calling 1800, only 1300 is charged.

Are you sure maxis charges for 1800? Digi is free.

UMobile definitely gotta pay for the 1-300 number calls

1-300 confirm is chargeable by all telcos but 1-800 is free for unlimited plan (so far I know Digi is free but other mentioned here Maxis needs to pay for 1800)

When they detect you actually calling from local, they will ask you to call toll free. happen to me on AIA and hotlink.

I hate those 1300 numbers. That day weekend called a 1300 number and put on hold so long.. My bill was RM 10+ !! Really too much

Some companies there will be a 03 number for overseas call. I often called the 03 number and it function the same as the 1300 number.
