I’ve been recently making a lot of international calls. Some are to friends and some are to my clients and suppliers from oversea. Well, that’s what I get for working in the travel industry. The world is my classroom yo!

My last trip to Phuket, I was using the iTalk Whoa to sms back home using local Malaysian rate. Thanks to technology, I can do so. I even got to call home at local Malaysian rate. How cool is that man?

Then recently, a blogger friend told me about iTalk Whoa’s IDD and told me to check it out. He told me that it saves him a lot of money while calling Singapore and boil porridge with his girlfriend.

Feeling the itch, I did gave it a check and trust me when I say this. iTalk Whoa’s IDD rates are a lot cheaper and I mean a lot with capital A!

I’ve pretty much compared the rates for IDD by three big telco giants here in Malaysia. I’ve got a wider understand how these telcos charge and what not, but afterall, iTalk Whoa’s plan got to be the most comprehensive and not forgeting, cheapest!

Here’s a table of comparison I’ve made based on the few countries that I frequently call.

Country/Telcos Orange Green Yellow Blue**
Australia RM 0.81 RM 0.99 RM 0.93 RM 0.92
India RM 0.50 RM 0.62 RM 0.62 RM 0.62
China RM 0.11 RM 0.43 RM 0.43 RM 0.48
Hong Kong RM 0.14 RM 0.50 RM 0.43 RM 0.48
Thailand RM 0.35 RM 0.43 RM 0.43 RM 0.48
Indonesia RM 0.32 RM 0.33 RM 0.72 RM 0.72
Nigeria RM 1.35 RM 2.39 RM 1.28 RM 2.28
South Africa RM 0.70 RM 2.39 RM 2.38 RM 2.28

All call rates are charged based on per minute

** Promotional rates till June 2010

Look at how much the difference is? It’s like literally WHOA! I wouldn’t believe it until I compare and see it with my own eyes. I feel cheated for not knowing it earlier that I could save a lot more with iTalk’s IDD. What more even with iTalk Whoa’s IDD rates.

Now you know eh! I ain’t no lying to you my friend. You really gotta check it out.
