"Sorry, you are unable to make a call...."

Nikar 3 SG

i tried calling my home, as well as calling other people using my hp today, but i got this voice message that says "Sorry, you are unable to make a call with this prepaid card".

does that mean my prepaid card now has $0.00 balance?

if insufficient balance, then the message should be something like "Sorry, you do not have sufficient balance in your prepaid card to make this call" etc.

i'm using StarHub $8 Green card, btw.

pls advise before i buy another green card tomorrow.

the reason why you cannot make a call is because there is no value in your card...

me not prepaid card user... just logic... lol...

thanks guys........but i've thought about this before, just that it doesn't quite make sense to give this kind of message......i thought usually the error message will give more explicit explanation like "you've no balance in your card" or something.

thanks anyway. i'l ltry calling 7001 to check the card balance.

why don't you just get a normal mobile phone plan like most people?

Nikar 3 SG

no lah........because i don't have much friends, and seldom make phone calls......

so mobile plan is quite un-economical for me. ;-)

If you spend enough to buy at least 3 of those prepaid cards in a month, then you should start thinking about getting a basic plan in the first place.

ok, i just dialed 9850 0000 to check the value......and it's $0.

must have wasted it dialing to china. KNNB CCB, KPKB KNN, KNNB KNN!!!!!!!!!!!

have you even heard this message before to confirm that this is the message that will play when you have insufficient balance?

in any case, since you can call 98500000 anyway, really dunno why this thread existed...

Because he needs Obvious Man to confirm his next course of action.

TS's case works the same for my yellow card.

Which really didn't help on the 2 or 3 occasions where long-range communication was needed. =(
