10T Pro served me very well for 3 years plus. Did lalamove with it also LOL kena rain, shine, knocks, drops, etc. Would still use it if it is not until the camera refused to focus. Went to japan with a broken camera. pics looked like sh!t.

after the trip, i repaired the camera and replaced the battery.

then i saw my maid's phone so old and slow,

i let her use 10T Pro as long as she is still employed by me.

Her face lighted up after seeing how responsive the phone

oh but I use my iPhones for at least 10 years then change. I usually use until they end software support and security updates.

when I use android phones, I noticed only can use 2-3 years before it all slows down one leh, so I don’t really like to buy android phones coz don’t last long

Someone asked few days back this question whether if able to call sg from Malaysia using IDD.

answer:
I’m currently in Malaysia. Unable to get through calling Pizza Hut.

Yes, I did add a +65
Reply was “the number you just called is invalid”

can do a try on another number? see it works?
or connect to another network? or only one network in msia?

i let u in a little secret, actually i am in love with eight
if people say eight is bad, i will just agree and asked them change to zym/gomo/maxx/simba/vivifi!
a black kettle is a black kettle, a spade is a spade.
wun jump.
but what I will do if they still cannot solve the issue of receiving international sms 14 months later, I will change my mainline to simba, secondary line to eight as local data. xmas 2025 i will have heart attack episodes of porting between these two telcos-with-the-most-port-in-problems.

i usually buy 2nd hand flagship models 2 or 3 years old, and are supported by popular custom ROMs. can extend the support life. change battery and the phone gets a new lease of life.

the concept behind maxx is what i like, if i need to travel often. turn off for months i am out of sg, restore useage (buy plan) when i am back. too bad their coverage does not suit my residence and places i frequent.

 

[~sabaisabai~]

No no no, for @~sabaisabai~

@loganrunning

you dont so loud declared that he needs the bandwidth lah.. he paiseh lah.. else how to call all his teerak all over the place leh?

 

[TyL3r_DuRd3n]

you da boss! planted so many flags. must have learned many languages by now

luckily plant flags, not plant seeds regionally.
how is your Khmer?
I was surprised some uncles as cisco near to changi airport's immigration area (specifically, autogate area) know how to speak Khmer lah. I heard him telling the khmer tourists on how to use egate
