Starhub are at it again with their classic ignorance and typical Singaporean can-not attitude. Actually this is nothing new, at least its been around since I arrived almost a year ago now. Imagine this:
Let's just say you wanted to get a pre-paid SIM card for your phone. Simple enough. And let's just say you wanted someone to be able to call you, without you having to pay for the privelege. After all its normally the caller that pays for the call, so this sounds fair enough right?
Well you're in luck, because on Starhub you get FREE INCOMING CALLS ON PREPAID!!!*
Not sure about where you are, but where I'm sitting there are bells and whistles going off, and someone just realeased a few thousand baloons from an HDB flat over at Novena. Happy Days!!
* But hang on... that may have been a case of premature congratulation. I just checked the fine print, and there's actually a $0.59 daily fee for each activation (including re-activation) of on-demand 'Free' Incoming Calls.
Not sure which planet you are from but to me that means incoming calls are not actually free at all!! Feeling used and abused I tried taking to one of the Starhub muppets in-store about this slight 'oversight', and true to the script, they rattled off "sorry cannot waive lah, incoming calls are definitely free once you've paid the 59 cents". Fucking muppets.
