[RANT] Wah one of our Telco play sibei dirty! I never buy any roaming plan they ownself buy for me! >:(

[crimsontactics]

Confirm is that Telco that like overcharging. The most expensive as compared to other telcos.

Yeah sia Bro ichinisan!

 

[crimsontactics]

data roaming is separate from this.
if you enabled auto-subscribe when overseas, it will simply activate once it detects you are out of Singapore.
Do disable auto-subscribe instead.

Then that Telco ish smelly because they gave us a function in the setting to switch off data roaming, yet ownself on it as and when they like Bro Asure7.

What's the point of having a data roaming setting in the app if they are going to auto on the data roaming when we go overseas?

 

[kuti-kuti]

Signal good Bro kuti-kuti?

in fact ok leh. in my home & outside. only strange thing is every nite around 2-3am, the signal is lost. got to put on airplane mode and deactivate it to 'reconnect' the data

 

[crimsontactics]

must go and check bill now

Just greedy Bro buttbERry...

 

[gregory_choo]

I dun name names cos I dun wanna kenna sue for $5.

But very dirty, I never buy roaming plan and I specifically off data roaming in their app for this reason.

They ownself activate data roaming in the app without my permission and buy the roaming plan without my approval!

Lucky they at least got sms me so I know about this purchase.

Really very smelly and dirty!

it is your own problem.

you can turn off roaming in phone setting, not the app.

they do it for you is to protect you, else you will be charged a few hundred dollars.

Do you know the whole point of data roaming setting?

If off it means I dun want any internet connection overseas.

Why give us a function in the app if they ownself will permanently on it when we are overseas?

Like this might as well just remove the function in the app so that we can assume data roaming will auto on when we are overseas right?

if you turn off data roaming in phone's settings, no app can turn it on.

 

[crimsontactics]

I know, but like I said why put this function in the app if it doesn't follow our instruction?

Isn't this the same as cheating?

Like you go buy a car, the car got basic and full spec, you tell dealer you want basic, yet he give you full spec and demand payment.

So is it your fault or the dealer's fault?

need to understand “auto roam” and “auto subscribe to plan when overseas” are 2 different things with different purpose.

without a plan auto roam will be costly,
Some ppl may subscribe an overseas plan but still disable auto roam/data at different timing so that they don’t use up the data too fast.

since auto subscribe was enabled, regardless of auto roam status, you will activate a “low cost” roaming plan when overseas

You misunderstood Bro Asure7...

I literally switched off "data roaming" function on the app itself.

The phone shouldn't be able to connect to the internet if I was overseas.

So how can the telco ownself switch it on and purchase a plan for me?

If data roaming setting is activated, I can still understand the rationale about the auto purchase of the data roaming plan.

They even have the cheek to sms me and tell me they switch on data roaming on my behalf because they detected that I have not switched on data roaming

They scare u can’t find your vietbu when u cross over so activate for your safety

most like at the phone's settings, data roaming is set to auto or always.

the auto subscribe function in the singtel app is to protect you. else you need to pay for a few thousand dollars.

This setting ish done in the app Bro gregory_choo.

I disabled auto roaming so as not to have this kind of situation appear.

But sadly it did

U can get back much more from mbs.
