Not sure since when ppl leaving voice mail is charged to the subscriber's mobile minutes. Thought the person will be charged cos he is dialing to listen. Voicemail itself used to be a paid service, doesn't make sense that it is double charging the subscriber.

Posted from PCWX using GM1910

Now Voicemail is free alr, but once the dialer reached Voicemail of the recipient number, both the dialer and recipient will have to have the normal airtime charges even if the dialer never leave any message.

The reason is because Voicemail service is considered successful call forwarding.

U believe s/he is using MR line? Maybe come in here to make noise & talk down MR.

If you have to think this way with your narrow heart also can't help. I believe ppl are geniusely here to learn, ask questions and clear doubts. I dun see particularly anyone is talking down on any Telco.

Simply dial 1334 / +65 8754 1334 / +65 8874 1334 on your mobile to listen to your voicemail now.*

Thank you for sharing this.
Now I know why my mum's Uno plan didn't incurred extra charge. She often get missed out while doing housework sometimes not free to pick up but can also means the caller didn't reached voicemail.

this is the worst part. unwanted 'free' service.

actually i would to love to have 29 June delivery date since the extra lines i want to sign are not due to be ported over.

maybe i will try to sign up online on the last day of the promo to get the latest date possible.

besides, can anyone confirm what is the last date of the promo? seems to be different sayings so far in this thread.

some said 3 june and some said 4 june?

last date is 3 jun.

you can get new line new number and port in later when the other line no contract..

 

[hereiam7788]

29 May is on fri which number port take up to 3 working day exclude weekend.

29 jun is on monday so no issue

so 29 Jun delivered, will port successfully on 1 July? (becos of 29, 30 june + 1 july = 3 working day)

actually the line technically should be already activated during the moment of delivery right regardless whether it is ported successfully? so actually which day the line is ported over should not matter rite technically.

i know what the temp number given by the new telco can be used straightaway until the port over over is successful. since the temp number can be used, by rite the service should have activated meaning the account should have been created by then?

yes activated with temp number.... port no depend and might delay

 

[hereiam7788]

last date is 3 jun.

you can get new line new number and port in later when the other line no contract..

icic. ok.

so i will sign up on 3 june for the remaining lines instead to maximise the delay of porting in.

one of my line with singtel the contract is ending on 8 June 2020 which i can port it in to MR with one of my existing two lines now.

 

[hereiam7788]

yes activated with temp number.... port no depend and might delay

i see. that's good.

billing cycle starts at 1st of the month is indeed nice to have.

will monitor the online signup to see if i can get a 29th, 30th or even 1st of the delivery dates.

now i have one month starts on 16th.
the new line i am getting today will be 23rd.

All bros on MR plan and wanna prevent caller from leaving a voicemail, and since VM cannot be cancel totally. So i chat with MR Customer service and he taught me a "method" to bypass the voicemail.
Below is my chat transcript with him.

Mark: Please be advised that the voicemail cannot be removed but you can activate the answer service message as replacement of the voice mail so that callers cannot leave a message but only hear your recorded message.

Mark: Below are the steps to enable the answer service message - Dial 1334/ +6588741334 -
Press 9 to change settings -
Press 3 to change answer service message -
Then select option to record the answer service message -

IMPT Reminder, it is the *Answer service message* and NOT the "welcoming message"

Hope it helps.
