SG phone companies slash 30% off phone call rates

Singapore and Malaysian companies move to reduce bilateral roaming rates.

According to the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, they worked closely with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and the mobile operators in Singapore to bring about these reduced roaming rates.

From 1 May 2011, Singapore and Malaysia mobile phone subscribers will see price reductions of up to 30 per cent for voice calls and 50 per cent for SMSes, when they ise the mobile roaming service provided by all mobile operators in Malaysia and Singapore respectively.

The price reductions will be implemented by mobile operators over two phases, for both prepaid and postpaid subscribers. Both the wholesale inter-operator charges and the retail subscriber charges will be reduced to effect the lowered prices.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
