Very shocked to see why I used so much for last month usage, then flipped through next page of the bills saw that most of the expensives charges come from Taiwan IDD! OMG.. 4mins for $20.

Actually we bought the HomeConnect card from SH for use in Taiwan and we thought that by calling the calling card number from overseas using number would be free. But, we are very wrong!!! I called and ask, they said that if we are using mobile to call the calling card number it will be based on the air time charges charged by the provider in Taiwan. … Then what is this HomeConnect card for? Further enquired, they said must use the local phone there and call back so it will be free.

Using 008 is a Premium phone service and it tends to be more expensive than others.

Got friends or family overseas? Perhaps you are going abroad yourself. HomeConnect card lets you make overseas calls from any fixed line, mobile line or payphone in Singapore. And, HomeConnect card offers you an economical way to call back to Singapore when you are abroad.

* Local call is charged at 10¢/min.
^ Availability of the service from overseas depends on foreign service providers, hotel and public phone operators. Additional local call charges may be separately charged by these foreign operators and hotels.
^^ Subject to expiry date stated on the card.

Luckily, I did not try my attempt to use all the credits of the 2 HomeConnect cards that I have bought if not… HAHA.. I can’t imagine that!
T&C is not clear.. sighz.. just an expensive lesson for not reading properly.
