My mom ah, always wants me to call her whenever I go on any trips. Well, all moms are like that lah hor? They never cease to be worried.

I used to carry two lines (wait, I still does) and one is personal and the other is business. When I travel, I always switch my personal line and set it to divert to my business line which is active throughout (*cough*company pay ma*cough*). I am still keeping both numbers anyways as they both have similar last four (4) digits. ;)

Oh! Separate news! I have BB Torch to play with for a few weeks… :P

Anyways… I am not too sure if you have heard of this company name Axiata? If you haven’t, you better kick yourself now! Hello! It is a Malaysian owned company! For the past one year, Axiata has rebranded itself as they are expanding over the South East and West Asia region.

They are currently operating in Malaysia (Celcom), Sri Lanka (Dialog), Indonesia (XL), Bangladesh (Robi) and Cambodia (hello) while having strategic stakes in India, Singapore, Iran, Thailand and Pakistan. Not bad huh?

What this tells me? I can now travel with ease of mind not thinking of what telco company to use as Axiata is all over the place man…!! Already in Malaysia, Celcom has a very wide coverage, they also sapu the region pulak now! Keng!

I was actually looking at Celcom website because I wanna grab a Blackberry service package so I can BBM with people around me mah, then mana tau, saw this banner running across their main page.

Whoa! Not bad! I am planning to go Indonesia this year end and Cambodia next year January. Seems like Celcom is already giving my Christmas and Birthday (Hint! Hint!) present already now. :P

The rates are quite attractive also lah! From RM 0.30 cents per minute I can call back and it’s quite cheap what! Compared to the usual which I am usually charged of RM 10-15 (when I was in Indonesia previously).

What’s more interesting is that I can Tweet while I’m traveling so, to make you jealous! RM 38/day for UNLIMITED data plan! OMG! *jumps with joy* Click HERE for more info!

call rates

At least, when I am traveling so many people can keep in touch with me.

The rates are from now till 28th February 2011. Okay lah, a lot of people are traveling during that period of time. Not bad huh! Celcom better give me some rebate for using their service so much!

Oh! Not only us Malaysians should be in joy, but our fellow neighbours from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Cambodia and Bangladesh who is using their respective country’s telco line can enjoy the same rate as well when roaming here in Malaysia.

Axiata! I will support you all the way lah! Please expand to Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Australia and Macau! I am planning to travel there also lah…

please PLease PLEEASSSEEEE…

I promise I will pay my Celcom bill on time next time okay?
