Guest Ev Ooi Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi all, I recently moved to Australia and I have this problem bugging me much. During this transitional period, I still maintain my home country mobile and I'm getting calls on it frequently. I don't want to take my calls selectively, but I also don't want to pay exorbitant international roaming fees. Can anyone suggest a service that lets me receive calls on my home country mobile without the roaming charges? Some sort of international call-forwarding. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Ev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Ev Welcome to the forum. The typical way would be as described on this page - http://www.ausbt.com.au/how-to-divert-your-mobile-through-skype-to-avoid-global-roaming-fees Unfortunately, as I believe your home country is/was Malaysia, the method described wouldn't work as I don't think you can get a Malaysian number through Skype.

Hey thanks for the reply bud. That's right; I'm from Malaysia and Skype online number is not available there. Looks like I'll have to look for another solution. Thanks again.

Guest Ev Ooi Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I found me a solution. Could you check this out and let me know your thoughts? http://whypayroaming.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my thoughts are that it's probably not a very trustworthy company if the owner has to resort to posing as a potential customer in order to plug the company:nah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktee Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Really Ev??? Not very good business practise is it. You have probably damaged your companies reputation more by pulling this stunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
