TYM 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Oops, sorry my fault about that "political" misunderstanding. But agreed that talking about RCs and volunteering for our estate is still a relevant topic here. This is my neighbourhood folder, so its okay not to be talking about reno, electricals and furniture, but let's try to steer away from politics. BTW just did my mod's scanning duty earlier, can't seem to find the posts that forummers complain about our Tanglin's page - would you kindly direct me? Might want to explain to them lor, dowan anyone to be unhappy... Lastly, really like your enthusiasm in raising issues for our estate; would you be keen to join TYM and me in exploring if we can volunteer our services for Tanglin Halt? There is no higher satisfaction than to act personally on matters that are dear to ourselves...Just back from a few days of R&R in Bangkok and seen my name being volunteered here liao. Will register for the volunteer thingy and see what is the reply like for the briefing dates.Our forum political meh? Dun think so leh. Anyway, soccer meet-up anyone this sat , Arsenal vs Liverpool, 8.45pm i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, anything can be said or done online, just a matter of realising things in real life. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

countrylover 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 of course need to scold... told me will take a month its just opposite block impossible cannot be done. its their job to get things solve and not their inefficency become my problem. Usually, each area is served by 1 or a few exchanges (depending on the population). Therefore, even if we stay next to each other, our telephone numbers might start with different prefixes. When customers request to retain their old numbers and their new location doesn't reside within the same exchange, they will need to subscribe to Number Retention Service or Call Routing Service. Actually for such services, there is a phantom number assigned to the household (ie prefix belonging to the exchange), which customers are totally unaware of. Calls to the retained number will still reach the old exchange, then routed to the exchange which the customer is staying. I don't know how to explain the technical details, hope I'm not confusing everyone here. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sakae sushi 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 LOL technical details not my kind of things. btw, the issues i had was they mentioned that the exchange is not ready for call diversion. holy cow leh. build 3 brand new blocks and know that the population here will be from en bloc side and still not ready when the blocks are up. dun tell me all the people affected by en bloc are getting new tel no? btw, i'm not 1st to move in olso... its more den 6 mths after they release the keys.
