Can't call, won't call...
Posted @ 11:03
The tone of my blog seems to be rather tame recently, but trust me, I am as cynical and critical of the world as usual.....
The story started just over a year ago, when I went to Amsterdam for a few days. [No, not *that* kind of story!] Anyway, as I have a monthly contract with my mobile phone services provider, I can use my phone in many destinations overseas without special arrangements (supposedly). I even checked with the staff to make sure that I can indeed dial from Amsterdam, and they said everything was fine. Guess what, I had reception, but I couldn't dial!
I haven't given this much thought since then... until now. I will be away for a few days again, and I wanted to make sure that I've got the mobile phone services sorted out this time round. It turns out that I have roaming enabled, but dialling disabled (default option)?! In other words, I have reception, but I can't dial.
What's the point?
More importantly, if this is the default option, shouldn't the staff who handled my enquiries last year know about this?

By the way...
This is only a personal website, it is not supposed to (and impossible to) cater for all tastes. Whilst the mood of the entries vary from "serious" to "random", please forgive me for the liberal use of "cynicism" and "sarcasm". If an entry isn't your cup of tea, just skip it...
