Hmm hopefully HR just WhatsApp. Not always can pick up calls also

 

[~sabaisabai~]

You put this one

more believable.

aiya here is internet. I don't need ppl to believe me ah. you also dunno who I am. lol

it is your choice

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Because we apply for jobs mah. Then HR cannot reach us then how??

there's such thing called "email"

not all HR will call. some will go by email and request set a time for call

If I don’t believe you then I will keep asking why you hiam mah. So it’s better I believe you

But so far all the HR I encounter is they will call, not email. And only after I picked up their call, and requested they email me instead, then they will email

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Lol they route the call to overseas exchange then route back to SG?

lol. dunno lor
previously can receive local incoming calls despite to enable to block of overseas call

but now ok liao. disable the blocking

 

[eddy0505]

especially post covid interview/screening call is not the norm liao. In fact, I get much more incoming scam calls on my GOMO company line than my eight line. Wonder if its missed call issue or scammers like to call GOMO/Singtel related numbers more?

So far based on what we know, got 1 hole. @TyL3r_DuRd3n cannot receive overseas sms

For me, as long as can receive Singapore SMS when I am overseas (e.g. OTP SMSes), I am happy.

until now still not yet resolve. pkm.
and now if overseas call block is enabled, cannot receive even local calls.

That one got workaround - just enable overseas call lor.

Yes. @TyL3r_DuRd3n and me hedged 14 months. @~sabaisabai~ hedged until CNY. @Habrosus hedged more than 15 months I think . Then @Boringchap is at least 12 months

Wah, so loyal. Later another Three Telecom come out and offer $3 for 333GB local data, 33GB roaming data and 333 call mins how?

 

[~sabaisabai~]

But unlikely to get IDD minutes at $3 lah. If $3 only I also scared to jump… later become like Simba

[~sabaisabai~]

well i believe there will be MNVO such as three telcom to match in future but for time being, where eight just launched, even "three telcom" want to match, they need to put up the proposal to the management to approve, thus it probably may take awhile before they can launch in the market

so i hedged till cny, is quite safe

well, dunno the sampan got hole but sampam is not the sturdy type. so if have high expectation then will be very disappointed

 

[NovelLobster]

But I never before said I’m happy user mah…

though, I only have issues with eight when I enter my work pantries. Other times I don’t notice anything other than some days the loading of webpage a bit slow
