  3. What are the charges for Missed Call Alerts?
    There is no registration fee or monthly subscription fee. The SMS alerts that you receive are also free of charge (because the overseas operators in the destinations you are roaming in do not charge for receiving SMS).

  6. What do I see in the Missed Call Alerts SMS?
    • If you missed a call when your phone was switched on but the call was not answered / you were engaged on the other line / you rejected the call. You will see in the SMS:

      For Postpaid customers "U hv missed call(s) from +65XXXXXXXX(21:59)(SG time)"

      To call back, dial *108*65<Tel No>#(operator dependent) or +65<Tel No>
      For Prepaid customers "U hv missed call(s) fr *123*65XXXXXXXX#(09:30)(SG time)"
    • If you missed a call when your phone was switched off or when you were not within network coverage range you will receive a summary MCA which consist of a maximum of three SMS.

      The number of SMS you will receive for this Summary depends on the number of missed calls that were captured for the first 24 hours from the time your phone is switched off/out of network coverage. However, if your phone is off or out of network coverage for more than 48 hours, you will not receive the MCA as it has gone beyond the normal SMS storage time.
