Hi bro,i read what you mentioned above in the news before. Hmm...actually i just bought a new Vivo HP during Singapore Covid time (in 2021) to replace my (very old) Sony Erricson phone with telkomsel sim card. It works pretty well.

I think it has something to do with the 3G/4G thing that is affecting the sim card & phone connection (for my case). I chose a phone that is able to support both 3G as well as 4G.

However having said that, my other Telkomsel sim card number whereby most who knew me in this forum has it when switch to my Samsung J2 which i bought from Batam 2-3 years before 2019 December (the month when covid officially starts), i have intermittent connection issue when i use it to make a phone call my Vivo's number (sometime works,sometime it just doesn't). But my new Vivo phone has no problem calling my J2 phone.

I still maintained my Indo line to date tho. Just too bad i don't use multi media apps like whatsapp, wechat, facebook, etc.

Thank you for sharing this, well noted on this one.

My 1st step now is to get a new passport (old one expires already).

Here's a small joke to share, in order to maintain my 2 Telkomsel phone line (for more than 2 years by now), i have already chalk up more than 1 juta pulsa over the last 2 years to prevent it from "expiring".

I looked forward to go Batam too. This time it'll be be via Tanah Merah to Harbour Bay. I will have to get in touch with my favorite hotel's manager to see if it has reboot its operation first tho.

Followed by "bringing" my favorite girls back to Batam from other parts of Indonesia. Very sad to know few of them actually passes on (couldn't get vaccinated on time).
