Free Calls

At the end of last year I started using a free application on my mobile phone which allows me to send text messages FOC to users which are using the same application. In these seven months I think I have virtually sent not only hundreds but should be more a thousand of messages.

Tonight through a friend at Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Queensland, I discovered another application that allows me not only to send FOC text messages but make calls as well. I called a HK friend and the line was quite good for something that is FOC.

So cool.

Upgrading

Went to Usagi Japanese Restaurant at Karamunsing Complex after being able to find a parking bay at the usual place where I park.

I had the following and took my time in having my lunch.

After lunch I went to a few shops to enquire about 16GB Micro SD Card and battery for my mobile phone. I was glad that I found both of these items in a shop in the Lower Ground Floor.

Then I went to colour and trim my hair.

I dropped by Salvation Bookstore hoping to find some materials for my own personal bible study but to no avail.

Taiwan SIM Card

Today I called a friend who works around the area where I work in. She told me she would be on leave from tomorrow onwards for a tour to Taiwan for a week.

Since there is still credit in the Taiwan SIM Card and I had it with me, I decided to give it to her to use.

I had wanted to give to another friend but she left for Taiwan before we managed to meet up.

DiGi Free SMS

Received the following text on my mobile phone tonight.

Thank u for participating in “300 FREE DiGi-DiGi SMS” promo fr 27-29 Jul. Balance FREE SMS is now been credited to your account. MAX FREE SMS is 500. T&Cs apply

DiGi Rewards

Received from DiGi the following announcement by texted message on 28 July 2010.

‘Reload RM30 get 300 FREE DiGi-DiGi SMS from 27-29/7! 100 SMS Now & 200 next mth. Max FREE SMS is 500. Reload more for Reload Bonus payout in Aug. T&Cs apply.’

This year during my birthday I did not reload any amount cos my colleague changed to another mobile phone service provider and therefore I do not have to Talktime Transfer to her anymore except occasionally when she requests me to do that for her children. Therefore I do not need large prepaid amount.

(For DiGi prepaid, if one reloads three days before or after one’s birthday, 50% extra of reload would be rewarded)

On 29 July 2010, I reloaded RM50 and the following message appeared.

‘You have been awarded with DiGi-DiGi SMS: 100 unit. Thank you. Press *128*1*5# then send, to check your freebies balance.’

When I pressed *128*15#, the following message appeared.

'Freebies available: DiGi-DiGi SMS: 158 units'.

I wonder why the units are not a round number.

For four days now I have used up 24 units of them.
