this is great! won't get so anxious about overruning call quota while being entertained for hours enjoying the "your call is important to us" music

You tried? I put 65xxxxxxx . Last time Simba can. Eight barred outgoing calls from JB .

 

[ST9611]

yes, no.

You managed to call back sg number?

To make idd calls: +<ctry code><phone number>. The + is crucial.

Can I port into eight after 1 month on an existing eight SIM?

The + acts as a command to initiate international call. when u r overseas and wanna initiate a call back to sg you need to include the +65

 

[loganrunning]

You managed to call back sg number?

as stated earlier, yes.

(proactively, "yes, the answer is still the same", in case you ask a 3rd time)
