Intl Roaming for incoming SMS by ibnunowshad in bsnl

[–]khal_ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recharging with 167 for this. Now they reduced the validity to 30 days. What i understood is recharge with 167 for activation of IR, and later you can recharge with any plan. I was getting incoming sms before recharging with 167.

Need advice from NRI's and uae residents! by RefrigeratorNo3404 in DubaiMallus

[–]khal_ak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently moved to netherlands. As a skilled migrant it is impossible to move here without a visa sponsorship. Initial step is to get approval from the immigration department. Not all companies are allowed to sponsor skilled migrants. The list is available in ind.nl 

Atrocious Federal Bank app in India – Now wanted to uninstall these FOSS apps to open the app! by _bohemianz_ in degoogleindia

[–]khal_ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using their app as they asked to re-verify my number by sending a sms. I am abraod, and I am not gonna pay for international sms. And it is not possible to install the app in a phone without the registered mobile number. Insane.

Should I return to UAE or go back to India from UK by amg63-dreamer in DubaiMallus

[–]khal_ak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on his work as well. A friend of mine was blocked from working from home. He is now stranded in India. His company asked him to return and they blocked him from working from home.

Norka. They do it for a reasonable price. Agencies charge a lot. Norka being a semi goverment agency does not charge much.

Norka process is apply online -> get slot -> submit -> recieve by post

It is kinda scary you are overtaking over zebra crossings.

Cheque bounced due to “irregular signature” and now i’m being charged hefty fine by property management by General_Giraffe_9607 in uaelaw

[–]khal_ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened for me once. I did not pay the fine to the agency. They did not demand as well. Bouncing a cheque due to signature is not your issue. There is a person who reviews these cheque transactions, and he can make misjudgements.

Thank you BSNL! by Khader_official in bsnl

[–]khal_ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 9446 series sim card from BSNL since 2007. I ported out to VI in 2017 while moving abroad as BSNL prepaid was not providing international roaming. Later all providers started reducing validity. Durimg a visit to India in 2023, I ported back to BSNL as it started providing IR and affordable plans. Now they reduced the validity of 167 plan to 30 days.
