I know of a friend staying on a high floor, uses his Indonesia mobile to call his gf in Jakarta. It's on the Indonesia network, not roaming, so it's dirt cheap Indo rates!! You might want to give it a try.

Not applicable as I think most of the bros here dun stay on hogh floors. And also, not all, or infact most areas could not receive indo signals. Correct me if I am wrong:rolleyes:

How abt using skype ?

That's provided his gf knows how to operate a PC/notebook and get online.

TS, do you stay at the southern part of Sg? Why not try using an indo mobile line in Sg like 1 bro suggested?

Where is ur fren staying?? How come can receive indo signals??:confused:

AMK/Bishan area. Sounds unbelievable, when we can't even get m'sia signal..

The signal should be OK, or he won't be able to call for hours.

Go to East coast park, confirm can get the signal...buy plenty of top up cards too...

Bro, You might want to try signing up those budget call service provider like Sunpage, Zone, mediaring etc........Dun use those calling cards, very troublesome.......

Hope this will solve your problem.......

All the best.......:cool:

Up me points ok...it does works.

Re: Value for Money Phonecalls to/fro Batam
 

buy their local phone card to call in and out of IND...I bought for Rp63,000 with RP50,000 stored value. However you need local NRIC to register the line via SMS before any usage. Try getting the locals to buy for you.

I just buy the Homeconnect card from Starhub. $8.50 for $15 worth of calls. Press "3" for the "special rates". It's worth abt 1hr & 5 mins of talktime. I sometimes buy up to 2 cards a day.....

as 1 bro mentioned using skype, the other party need not have a phone just purchase credit n u are able to use ur computer (online) to call a landline. its quite cheap a few cents per min.....
