Roaming notice from malaysia operator while still in Singapore

[aryanto]

Hi, apologies if this has been discussed before. I searched with google on clubsnap.com site but no keyword is found so I guess it has not.

My mobile is on Singtel operator, same as my wife.

A few month back I have received SMS from malaysian operator (I have auto-roaming plan). The issue is that I recieved that message when I was in office (in CBD), at daytime, weekdays. Cant remember exactly when as I have deleted the SMS.

A week ago, my wife while at home, recieved same SMS. We live in AMK.

I understand if I am close enough to malaysia like when I ventured in Sungai Buloh, then my mobile phone can pickup the signal, but in AMK??? or even in CBD ????

Is LG phone super sensitive or what?
Has malaysia telco operator decide to move the "border"? :sweat:

I am using and old cheapo ($0 from Singtel) LG GT505.
My wife phone is new, LG P500 (optimus one).

Yes, my friend from M'sia has even use his M'sia SIM card phone sending sms using his home network near Tampines Central area. However, the signal was too weak for voice call.

if you are afraid of being charged for auto-roam, then change the service receiving mode to manual and select the correct operator.

I got connected to Lippotel at Marina Barrage... To Maxis / Celcom at Yishun Dam... :bsmilie:

NM, your passport can be in SG but there is still no proof your phone is in other country. Better be safe. I only use manual selection as my workplace and home always have Maxis signals.

that's true, but if i have made calls that day?

i'm sure singtel or any other singaporean operator would not be so unreasonable..

anyways, i have data roaming off... and i always check the operator before i send msg or answer or make calls.
