Suspect my maid has hp, advice needed

It's true. Some maids have 2 or more phones. I believe they use one for local calls, another one for Facebook. My question is how much does it cost them to go online and on facebook? Do they do it via a prepaid card or a subscription plan? I'm wondering bec it must cost quite a bit, especially given their salary. $40 a month?Well how would one know there is only one hp? My godma's ex maid had THREE hp and the family didn't bar her from using. She started stealing from the family to pay for the use.
Come to think of it, with the new legislation, Hmmm, maybe it is good time to buy telco shares. Afterall there should be more revenues coming in. -
How come yr maid can even specify which agency to go ? This means she has found herself an employer through Javamaids. :yikes:
If the maid's has the liberty to do that, it will make our life very difficult. I guess now they will have more chance to ask for transfer since they can go for off day next year. -

I have a debt collection notice for the unpaid telco bills that my ex-maid incurred, without our knowledge of course. we did not know she got mobile phone at all and all the while she insist she did not have mobile phone

So you're not liable right? How did your maid hide these notices from you before she was sacked? -

we only got the debt collection notice after the maid was sent off
we called the telco and told them the maid is no longer in singapore and please do not harass innocent employer -

I wonder how much these telcos charge. They must have a lot of instances of bad debts.we only got the debt collection notice after the maid was sent off

Very true about the Hp! today I discovered my maid has one more Hp. I noticed ear piece sticking out under the bed then I realized she has hidden her Hp there. I have already given her one Hp to use why does she need another Hp??? Running a multi dollar biz!!! And she needs to hide it?? If I want to stop her from using, would I give her a Hp to use in the first Place? Maids have very strange thinking.
Btw, her Hp was registered under my hubby’s name to buy a prepaid card. Can I just check can the maid also use the same IC to register for a new line or prepaid card? I just want to be sure the new Hp line or prepaid card registration has nothing to do with us. -

Some of them do keep two phones - one to call home and one for local calls as it is cheaper to use different services.Very true about the Hp! today I discovered my maid has one more Hp.

You should be able to check if any lines are taken out using your IC but you will need to contact each of the telcos to do so. -
