Hi, does anyone know why PM, or any similar carriers, offers international text for free for many plans, but they never offer international call for free? Is it much cheaper, or close to zero-cost, to send a text to any number in the world, than to d...

Yesterday I switched to the Lucky Mobile from PM, attracted by its unlimited data offer. But as soon as I put in the LM SIM card into the phone, I found I am in for a big nasty undocumented and definitely unwanted behavior from its network. I really ...

Hi, I have a question about PM's data usage policy. From its web site's small print, it says - Data usage is rounded up each session to the nearest 10KB. So does it mean, that, say, my phone connects to 3G, even my phone is only consuming one(1) byte...

There was no such behaviour the day before yesterday when I was still with PM. Then it suddenly came up yesterday after I put in the LM SIM card. So I suspect it must be LM's network specific (and deliberate?) behaviour.

But why no such (unwanted) behaviour when I was with PM?

Both Chatr and Lucky Mobile offer data usage round-up at 1 KB, much much better than PM's practice. Plus, Chatr and Lucky essentially offer unlimited data use ( you can continue to use data after the allotment, for free, at a slower speed ), whereas ...
