Yeah, my sister called to ask me to open the door for her. Two times, each time 2 seconds. RM 0.66 gone.

No problem, I'm always glad to help answering DiGi's enquiries.

Well, me too but I still don't care and I managed to convince some to jump boat while some still wanna board on Hotlink boat. Anyway, I'm getting same flat rate to all networks, so it doesn't really bother me.

thx

wad is 60 seconds block ??

Welcome.
That means it will charge from the first second itself. Regardless any second within 60 seconds will be charged RM 0.33. Hotlink uses this concept.
DiGi uses 30 seconds blocks. That means RM 0.36 will only be charged from 30th second onwards, before 30 seconds will be charged RM 0.18.

It's referring to 60-seconds charging block. Calls are charged in 60-seconds block; meaning

Call duration less than and up to 60 seconds: 1 block
Call duration between 61 and 120 seconds: 2 blocks

So on and so forth ...

ok , call rate not RM0.10 per second ?

Of course not its charge base on block

walao. no wonder la hotlink i always call like 5minutes and 3 secs also so pain .
omg im so noob.

Of course no. Imagine if it is, RM 0.10/second? 1 minute = RM 6.00?

i write wrong is RM 0.10 per minute , the nid to plus the call block ??

U-mobile is only telco offering per second billing.

why U-mobile din hav switch ?? cannot switch from other telco to their port

digi this year no new offer

Luckily you have switched to the smarter side.

i still with all the crappy telco even the best. After all activate 365 days no more worries about maintaining them

block calls for digi is RM 0.36 ??? maxis is how much ??

Well, RM 0.10/minute only if you are using DG 150 (postpaid). DG 50 (postpaid) also has RM 0.10/minute if calling to Friends and Family no. I'm using DiGi Ambassador Plan and it uses DG 50 rate, thus I can call for RM 0.10/minute to FnF or RM 0.13/minute to all networks.

It has too.

That is 36 cents/min.

DiGi uses 30-second block; meaning it'll be 18 cents per block.

I have explained on the previous page: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=22684461

i still dun understand , u mean they will charge u if u call not more than 1 minuter ?

Yes. Hotlink charges on the first second itself. That means once the call is answered or reverted to voicemail, RM 0.33 will be deducted. From 1st to the last 60th second, it is still RM 0.33.
DiGi doesn't use this concept, it uses 30 seconds block. That means from first second to 29th second = RM 0.18. 30th to 60th second = RM 0.36

To recap everything, it is expensive to call using Hotlink if you are calling for short calls.
