FlexiRoam offers Malaysian Travellers Unlimited Roaming Service for a Significantly Lowered Rate!
Malaysia-based ReapField Technology has launched a roaming service called FlexiRoam at RM10/day for unlimited calls at 15 countries.
The 15 countries are:
Australia, Brunei, China,France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macau, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, Vietnam.
How does it work?
Register & purchase credits from Flexiroam.com. Activate the service via SMS before departing from Malaysia.
Upon arrival at your overseas destination; buy a local sim card.
Activate FlexiRoam via SMS from your new number. Readhow Flexiroam works over here.
FlexiRoam directs all calls from your Malaysian phone line to your foreign line while you are travelling overseas. This allows you to remain in contact through your Malaysian number while enjoying the privileges of making and receiving cheap calls on your foreign line. It also means theres no need to inform your contacts of any new international mobile numbers.
CONS:
1. Calls are unlimited for RM10/day, but users will still be charged at local rates (Malaysia) as calls from their actual mobile number (not your new country of destination number) are forwarded to the local Flexicall number in Malaysia.
Also users wont be able to receive SMS as the mobile operators in Malaysia doesnt support SMS forwarding. Read thelimitation of Flexiroam here.
2. Flexiroam systems cant promise to displaythe Caller ID. Their system are set to send Caller IDs to the foreign mobile operators but it is up to them to decide what to display. So when you receive calls, the display may show private numbers or some random numbers.
My personal opinion:
Dare I say Flexiroam is a good service but not so much so for those who are very DATA roaming dependant? For instance, me. I probably need DATA more than anything. If Im on Flexiroam overseas, Ill still need to purchase another package just for data so perhaps FlexiRoam may not be the ideal roaming partner for me?
Lets face it, how many of us (lets just say the tech savvy, smartphone users) calls often? Ill probably call AFTER I had attempted BBM, Whatsapp, Twitter DM, email, FB msg (or write on the wall of their FB) & lastly, SMS.
If all the above fails, I normally assumed that the person is unavailable & will then wait for his/her reply on any of the communication medium I had used above.
But then Im only one person out of the whole human race out there. LOL.
