More WHOA with iTALKWHOA!!

We all know that talking is an essential way of communicating and getting to know each other whether it be relatives, friends or just your loved ones.

However, as life moves on, people have to go somewhere and talking face to face is not that simple especially when one goes overseas.

Sure, you may have S**** for this but is your loved one always at a a place with internet connection and even so, are the rates affordable enough for us Malaysians?

And on another note, it's easier to call loved ones that are less tech-savvy by phone, for example your grandparents who most likely don't have any idea on how to operate S****.

As I have mentioned before in my earlier posts, iTalk has a solution for us Malaysians to talk affordably whether you are in or out of Malaysia which is iTalkWhoa and it works even when you call back to Malaysia from another country, provided your internet connection is stable enough.

But think about it, you are calling back home at only RM0.18 per minute which is very cheap and to top it off, it applies to all mobile and fixed lines to Malaysia.

And best of all, in conjunction with Ramadhan and Aidilfitri, starting from 1st September 2010 until 31st October 2010, you can enjoy 20% ADDITIONAL talktime automatically credited into your account if you activate/reload your iTalk card from 1st September 2010 until 31st October 2010.

Denomination	Free Airtime
RM50	RM10

So what are you waiting for? The promo ends at the end of this month.

So don't miss it.

Talk more this Raya with iTalkWhoa!!

As we all know, this month is the holy fasting month for the Muslims, know

n as Ramadan, before they celebrate Hari Raya Puasa.

This is the time when we are encouraged to ask for forgiveness and I must say, even though I’m not a Muslim, I think it is also good to do so especially towards our parents and whoever who has helped us along our journey in life.

Although we may not have a chance to meet all of them in person, spare a thought and give them at least a phone call to appreciate what they have done.

If you are afraid that the phone call is going to cost a lot especially when you or the other person is overseas, fret not as iTalk has come up with iTalkWhoa to help you.

As a special offer during this Ramadan, iTalk is having a special promotion for those who activate their iTalk cards gets 20% free talk time and get additional talk time up to RM7 when you buy it online during the promotion period which is from 1st September to 31st October 2010.

Denomination	Free Airtime
RM50	RM10
RM30	RM6
RM20	RM4

And not forgetting the hardworking Muslim workers who can’t go back home, iTalk also has a promo for them to call back home and greet their loved ones which are much cheaper than other telcos.

The offer starting from 10th August 2010 until 30th September 2010 starts as low as 9sen/30second to 3 selected countries namely Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan and the best part is that the calls cost the same whether you are calling a mobile phone or a fixed line.

For those who haven’t called their loved ones for a while, now there is no excuse not to do so and to the Muslims all around the world, I wish you “Selamat berpuasa”.

IDD with iTalkWhoa!

Before there was IDD (International Direct Dial), the only way to call a friend or family member overseas was to call the local operator to patch your number through.


It may sound convenient but it is actually more expensive this way as you need to pay the operator fees before you get connected and strangely enough this service is still available.

Although I did not really experience any of this first hand, I remember my dad saying that it was a hassle just to call somebody overseas.

You need to send a telegraph to set the time and place to call and someone must be at the other end to receive it.



What I’m saying now is what happened more that 10 years ago (or was it 20?), when handphones were not cheap at the time period.

All that changed when IDD was introduced, people had a choice of not calling the operator, which can be quite expensive, and instead just call normally with the country code which is normally after the (+) sign.

For example, the country code for Malaysia is +60 which is easy to remember as we only have to add +6 to all our existing numbers.

IDD is now available for all handphone users which is on by default for prepaid users although postpaid users would need to activate it first.

IDD for fixed lines are not that simple but possible when using IDD cards such as the ones from iTalk.



As we progress into the era of globalization, call rates are becoming cheaper almost every year.

VOIP has made it even cheaper to make calls; local or international.

As I recently found out that iTalkWhoa is having a promotion, making its international call charges 10% cheaper than that of iTalk.

So you get to talk 10% longer!


It may not sound much now, but when you are talking to someone you’ve not met for a long time, you would want to catch up on the things which have happened and every minutes counts.

So why are you waiting?

New stuff from iTalk!!!!!!

iTalk, if you never heard about it , is a prepaid dialing card system where you enter codes before you can dial a number.

However, these days the emergence of affordable prepaid SIM cards seem to have slowly reduced its popularity.

And in the wake of the online revolution like e-mail, VOIP, IM and social networking, it seemed out of place or so I thought.

iTalk Whoa is an online platform created to unify the usage of e-mail, social networking and Instant Messaging.

What this means that now instead of opening a few tabs, you only need to use one tab to check out your e-mail, twitter and your IM which is quite convenient.

With iTalk Whoa Voice, you can call or SMS local and overseas land or mobile lines at lower rates than your usual mobile phone rates and best of all you can call other iTalk Whoa users for free! All you need is just an Internet connection, access to iTalk Whoa and a microphone, and you are all set to go.

Normal Calls (Fixed Lines): 10 sen/min NATIONWIDE Mobile Calls: 15 sen/min NATIONWIDE to ALL NETWORKS

I know Skype has the same features but the rates are a bit higher for the local calls and you need to have a credit card to use Skype to be able to use these features for outgoing calls.

For iTalk Whoa, you can just buy iTalk cards to top up your iTalk Whoa.
There is a Calendar feature to record what events you have planned or places you plan to go and share them with your friends instead of telling them one by one.

You can even synchronize the events and your contacts from iTalk Whoa with your phone if your phone can support it.

If you are a person who regularly checks your email, you can set up the Push Email feature on iTalk Whoa. After configuring your email account, you can be prepared to receive an SMS when a new email arrives as iTalk Whoa will send one, when there is new mail, after checking every 15 minutes. Alternatively, you could also receive the update from the email client of your mobile phone.

Having friends scattered across different IM platforms can be a major headache. Opening multiple chat programs at once can significantly slow down older computer. With iTalk Whoa, you can sign in to MSN, Yahoo, Google talk and Facebook chat simultaneously and I heard that there is also support for other IM platforms.

With that many features in store, you would think that a lot of money is needed to join iTalk Whoa but the fact is that it’s free. And if you are one of the early birds, you even get RM5 credited into your account for you to use.
