  This thread reminds me of the time when cellular phones were just introduced.
  The phones were as big as bricks then.
  And those who have them would swagger with them boastfully.
  But when a call comes in, they would say "I'll call you back"
  Then go to a public phone to return the call.
  It is amusing to see a tai kor, using a public phone with a tai ko tai beside him

  I don't really bothered with such things.
  
  But if the person got a land line then I would asked if they can call back with the land line not only its cheaper.. its clearer with no fear of no reception.

  Hi,
  
  I am new here. (although i joined in 2005). So can consider me as an old new forumer or new old forumer.
  
  I received similar calls too, i.e. ring for 2 times and phone hanged up before I can answer.
  
  At first I was wondering why, then I realised that the caller was using Starhub. He was smart and try to save money. As I m using singtel and i dont bother about the costs, I just called him back.
  
  But after a few times, I cant help, but find that it is a nuisance and it is too much.
  
  I also seen some people, especially property agents, carrying 2 handphones.

  It is quite irritating if it happens too many times.
  
  Sometimes I feel like I am damn stupid and my friends who make me call back are smarter.

  This problem has been around ever since starhub introduced this .
  
  Not only this , I have encountered people smsing me to call them back, giving me one million reasons why I should call them back. Phone bill too high, parents scolding them because of expensive bill ...etc LIKE AS IF I DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR MY PHONE BILL.
  
  I am not targetting any of my friends or collaegue but please be more considerate to others, if you can't call , sms . If it's not important , tell me on msn at night or something.
  
  Once in a while it's understandable but you can't do this to your friend all the time.
  
  How about you guys, how do you all deal with these kind of people ?

  If things is urgent.. they will call til ur pick up the damn phone..
  if not seriously.
  u can dun reply also
