Calling outstation the whole day for only RM 5
That’s right! Part of the Telekom Malaysia’s Good 2 Talk campaign, there is this new RM 5 Chit Chat promotion…
It started mid of this month until 30 September 2003. Applicable for all Telekom residential fixed-lines. Promo is valid from 7pm till 7am everyday and whole day for Sunday and for national/STD fixed-line calls only. Calls to mobilephones are not considered.
What it means is like this:
- Suppose you’re in KL and you call to Ipoh. Say the normal tariff will charge you 50 sen per minute (just a demo figure - not sure what’s the real tariff like).
- If you call for 5 mins, you will be billed RM 2.50 (50 sen x 5).
- If you call for 10 mins, you will be billed RM 5.00 (50 sen x 10).
- If you remain on the line after 10 mins, it’s no longer charged (charge will stop at RM 5.00) and you can remain on the line until the end of the promo period for the day (that’s up to 12 hours on weeknights and more than 24 hours on Sunday!)
For more info, you can refer to the Telekom website.
It’s about time Telekom make more offers of such sort… but I really miss that flatrate local call (imagine last time calling Jaring at flatrate of 13 sen per call and only paying Jaring for the 1 sen per minute Internet access!) before the tariff got changed to a time-based billing… 
So what you waiting for? Pick up that phone and call some outstation friends and relatives tonight! I know my mom will love this offer… kih kih kih

what if we call KL from Ipoh, and then cal Johor and then call Penang, will it be RM5 for the day, or KL RM5, Johor, RM5 and Penang RM5?
Also, what if i call KL in the morning, and then call in the afternoon and then call in the evening, will all calls only RM5 or RM5 for each call?
Guess the catch is there…
