About the Hungry Ghost promotion
America has Halloween, Mexico has The Day of the Dead, Singapore has the Festival of the Hungry Ghost. During the 7th lunar month, the gates of hell are thrown open and the spirits of the dead are released on 'parole' to roam the earth. (Which just goes to prove that even after you leave this world, you still get to travel two weeks out of the year.) Food, prayers, incense and 'hell money' are offered to appease the spirits. Celebratory dinners are held, as well as performances of Chinese street operas or wayang.
There is a belief in Singapore that this entertainment would please the wandering ghosts. No marriages or dangerous journeys, such as sea voyages, are embarked on -- of course, this doesn't apply to Telestial clients who don't let something trivial like hell demons roaming the earth dampen their travel spirits. Finally, after 15 days of feasting and partying, the festival wraps up and the ghosts return back to where they come from. It sounds an awful lot like Spring break. No contract or monthly fees so how do I buy more airtime?
Your Singapore cell phone service is all prepaid so you only buy airtime as you need it. Airtime vouchers are available locally throughout Singapore at local convenience stores. Click the 'View Details' link under the included SIM card(s) to learn more about adding airtime.
Why rent or roam when you can own?
In the past your only options were expensive: to pay over $1/minute for a cell phone rental or more expensive: pay international roaming surcharges to your local home wireless provider. With Telestial's Hungry Ghost promotion, you can now avoid those exorbitant rental and per minute charges often associated with a cell phone rental.
Here, there and almost everywhere!
Don't forget that the cell phone included with your Hungry Ghost promo is capable of working in over 170 countries and can be used with any of our Local SIM cards or Roaming SIM cards!
All Special Promotions are valid until May 31, 2011
