Yes! you can use the prepaid card overseas. What's more there's no additional charges to let you use it overseas, and by this, I mean no roaming subscription costs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Roaming Coverage</span><br />You can pretty much enjoy roaming using SingTel prepaid card in any country (I haven't done the count but I put it above 120 destinations)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How do I make and receive calls and SMS?</span><br />Sending and receiving SMS is very much the same experience you have while using it in Singapore. So is it for receiving calls - you just answer it.<br /><br />But outgoing calls is made using a call back service. To put it simply, you need to know how to dial properly.<br /><br />You need to dial according to this format - <span style="font-weight: bold;">*131*<country><phone>(country code)(phone number)#</phone></country></span>. The starting string (<span style="font-weight: bold;">*131*</span>) and the ending character "<span style="font-weight: bold;">#</span>" is important. So is the country code and mobile number of your friend you are calling. One problem you may have is all your numbers are in the phonebook. Some steps you can try to make this easier<br />a. make use of the SIM tool kit option. Using a Nokia N98, I can access this via Menu->Tools->SingTel Menu->Prepaid GD121. This should rightfully allow you to pick up a phonebook contact and help add in the dialing codes ... though I couldn't get it working.<br /><br />b. dial out using a phonebook contact and stopping it. This should come out as an entry on your dialled numbers list which you should be able to edit and add in the format.<br /><br />c. rely on your good memory =) You need to remember the number to dial (country code as well) + the *131* code.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Minimal Balance to maintain while roaming</span><br />Keep at least S$8 if you want to use it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Checking Account Balance</span><br />Dial *133# to know how much more you have left.<br /><br />This pretty much sums up the key parts you should know to get you started.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189234176898192120.post-52943909026315456092009-03-12T11:27:00.000-07:002009-03-15T11:20:03.020-07:00Simplified Call and SMS chargesI think many people have difficulty piecing the prepaid call and sms charges.

Here's a quick look and later you can visit the actual site for more. The link is below.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How to use the card (activation)</span><br />When you first buy your SingTel prepaid hi card, you need to dial the toll-free IVR (interactive voice response) at 96767777. This will activate your line. If you are overseas, you should dial *130#. Remember this difference as roaming charges will apply if you try to call to activate your hi card.<br /><br />To re-cap<br />in Singapore - dial 96767777<br />overseas - dial *130#<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Check account balance</span><br />in Singapore - dial 96767777 (toll-free)<br />overseas - dial *133# (This allows you to check your balance for free even while roaming)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Setting up MMS (Multi-media Message Service)</span><br />dial *IDEAS (or *43327).

After getting the SIM card, you need to do the following<br />a. dial *130# on your mobile. This is a short code that activates your daily FIC plan.<br />b. expect to be charged a flat-rate of S$0.60 per day to enjoy the plan. This charge is taken off your main prepaid account balance - if you have just gotten the S$8 hi-card, you should have S$10 in the main account (I will get around to explaining the account balance part soon)<br />c. if you terminate the service, its going to cost you S$1.50 to stop it.<br />*rates may change so do check first.<br /><br />So should you take advantage of the FIC plan?<br />Well, if you are expecting to receive at least 8 mins worth of voice calls per day based on current rates, you should have recovered your FIC plan.

This should work with any phone comfortably. While SingTel only has 2G service today (correct as of 7 March 2009), it should not affect you much - I hope.<br /><br />Buying one should not be too difficult, you should get one at convenience stores like 7-Elevens, Cheers, money/ currency exchangers, mobile phone stores etc.<br /><br />Prices can start at $8, $18 or $28.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the basic charges?</span><br />You can use calls and SMS at the following rates<br />a. Local calls (calling Singapore numbers) - 16 cents per minute (Monday to Friday, 8am to 7.59pm) or 8 cents per minute otherwise<br />calls are charged by the 1st minute, then later by 30 seconds blocks.<br /><br />b. Local SMS (sending to Singapore numbers) - flat rate of 5 cents per SMS<br />c. Global SMS (sending to international numbers) - flat rate of 15 cents per SMS.<br />*Global SMS to users of Telkomsel's prepaid card (simPATI) is 5 cents only.<br /><br />d.

Show your passport (foreigners/ tourists) or NRIC (Singapore Citizen/ PR). Your details would be scanned and submitted - part of the national movement to manage the use of prepaid cards. It should be relatively painless.<br /><br />3. With each passport or NRIC, you can register a maximum of 10 lines.<br /><br />4. Select your lucky mobile number and you are all set to go!<br /><br />*The registration process is the same be it for Starhub or M1 prepaid cards.<br /><br /><country><number><country><number><country><number></number></country></number></country></number></country>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
