the free 288mins idd calls does it mean i can receive calls when roaming (in the supported countries)
without paying for it ?

scroll up, flip to previous pages, and your answer will be presented on a silver platter

Simple.

You don't.

Thanks for your simple answer. Do you think it is a wise one?

 

[Habrosus]

May I confirm that for IDD calls, not all countries are supported, for instance, the UK?

So, how does one call the UK?

Thanks.

More and more people are treating forum hwz as customer service/qna when their respective telcos don't respond to them/their google is "not working" zz. Even those with supremacy status. How convenient

Thanks for the link to the FAQ.

I have read them and the UK is not amongst the list of supported countries for IDD calls unless I have missed it? If so, can you kindly point it out?

Many thanks.

I've one each, eSIM and physical SIM. For convenience, I went for eSIM and when I'd the time, went to change one to physical SIM (pSIM).

I don't know coz I don't make IDD calls and most importantly, I didn't read those stuff in the link. Can you explore on your own? Many thanks too.

If you must, do it at their Ubi service centre. You'll get the SIM card immediately.

If you do it online you can opt for it to be mailed to your house. They use SingPost. 3 - 5 working days.

That means I don't need to deal with Maxx's $7.90 anymore!

Ubi boss going to be very busy.

Thanks, think I opt for the online mail. This M1 Maxx $14/mth not as good offer. Their network also not good.

Network-wise, M1 works for me too. In fact, I've been with M1 since Day 1. And Maxx's app is better too, until Eight improves theirs.

Of course, the IDD calls is an attraction, though not "need to have" but "good to have" for me.

Maxx roaming destinations are quite limited. Eight has better coverage

Idd features are useful also. Can call local numbers when roaming overseas

No one bothers to read their FAQ so updating it isn't their top priority.
