It’s no secret that the rock band Deftones is coming to KL this Valentine’s day. It’s no secret either that the offbeat prepaid telco Tune Talk is the one that’s behind the concert.

What is a bit of an unknown is this funny promo video promoting the upcoming concert. It’s a pity that the video is getting very little attention because in all fairness, it’s really funny. We thought we’d help Tune Talk out and share it with you guys.

Head on to after the jump and get ready to laugh.

Ok we’re not terribly excited about this — actually not excited at all — but we’re pretty sure there are quite a few tinny bopping tweens, their moms and maybe some of their guy friends out there who are jumping over the moon when they found out about this.

Yes people, Tune Talk is bringing Justin Bieber to town. God save us all. Even some powerful tycoon types and former rock stars are not spared from Beiber fever

So Bieber beavers, Justin will be in KL on April 21, 2011 and Tune Talk subscribers get first pick on tickets next Saturday, January 15 at Bangsar Village 2!

For more info, keep a close eye on Tune Talk’s Facebook page or official Twitter account. We trust the many eager Bieber beavers are already doing this.

Tune Talk, arguably Malaysia’s most value driven prepaid telco will be introducing a points collection system tomorrow.

Announced by chief talker (aka CEO), Jason Lo, the system will offer points for every top up made with Tune Talk and are then redeemable for flight tickets on Air Asia. Jason says the points don’t expire.

It’s an interesting concept but details have not been revealed yet, we’ll keep an eye on Tune Talk’s website to give you the latest as and when it is available.

(UPDATE 2003hrs 12062010) Tune Talk has just uploaded of Jason’s jump here.

No, it’s not a suicide attempt but apparently Jason Lo, the CEO of Tune Talk lost a World Cup bet.

He bet that if South Africa didn’t win by three goals he will jump out of a helicopter – with a parachute of course. By now, you would’ve already known that the Bafana Bafana were out of luck, ending their opening game with a draw with the Mexicans.

Lo lost the bet and made the jump today.

What surprised us was the fact the he didn’t do a tandem jump but instead did a solo. Usually, first time jumpers are tied to their instructors in what is called a tandem jump. So for Jason to do his first jump solo is a big deal.

Now we’re wondering if he’s a veteran jumper. If he is then, the bet is off because it’d be a piece of cake for him.

Are you a veteran jumper Jason?

Budget MVNO Tune Talk is looking to offer its subscribers more cost effective roaming services to Singapore as early as the third quarter of this year.

Once available, Tune Talk’s subscribers travelling to Singapore will be able to roam using their existing prepaid cards. Interestingly, the customers will be charged local Singapore call rates.

Tune Talk CEO, Jason Lo said under its current MVNO arrangement with Celcom, Tune Talk customers can roam in Singapore but it rides on whatever roaming arrangement Celcom has with Singapore operators.

Jason said in an announcement Thursday that Tune Talk is “trying to by-pass the current roaming platform and link up with a Singapore telco“. Jason added that Tune Talk is in talks “with a company” in Singapore at the moment and “hope to conclude the deal soon“.

According to Jason, the cheapest Singapore call rate currently is about S$0.08/min or about RM0.18/min.

At the same time, Tune Talk is also eyeing to offer a simillar roaming arrangment to Indonesia early next year and aims to enter into three other countries in the next 12 months.

Jason said Tune Talk plans to be in all the Asean countries in five years.

As it stands, Tune Talk has about 860,000 activations and hopes to hit one million activations next month.

Tune Talk offers the lowest prepaid flat call rate in the country at 16 sen per minute to any domestic operator.

For your information, a roaming call from Singapore with Tune Talk costs a whopping RM5/min! Picking up incoming calls will cost you RM2/min. SMS is RM2/sms. Whoa!
