yep, i did that a lot of times when i was in college. well, my phone is not post paid, i have a prepaid line, so there are really times when i run out of load or my load is so low, i have to do miss call, but most often, i would judt send sms or text to save load or money. i still do that now, but rarely though. comparing when i was still studying and money is really tight will i was still going to the university.

missed call are very improtant for me because my husband talk to me by the method of miss call because the scheme of company is such that his no is free from my no. but my friends often laught at the misscall. for me miss call is not a balance problem. i also use a misscall as signal . i acompany my friend for office . for her the misscall is collect me from my house. she reply me by misscall 'she is on leave' this our signal of misscall and we save the money .this is intresting method of misscall.

i definitely agree with you. sometimes i even do miss call from our land line phone to my brother's phone number and that's an indication that he needs to call me to our land line phone. it saves money. and of course it's not something to laugh about. definitely not.

I do . . . even when I have enough airtime to call, I know that sounds bad but yoy see, most of my friends are office workers and they are allowed to use their office phones to a given limit and they don't mind when I give missed calls for them to call me, in fact they usually ask me to when I am free to chat with them. I also miss call my husband as well!! He always has credit/airtime (business is mostly mobile and has to be on the road a lot), and of course he doesn't mind either!

I hardly call anyone, but if its important. Yes I'll give them missed calls if I simply don't have enough money to top up. If its something unimportant like just for chit chatting, then I won't give them any calls at all.

Yeah, I did that in my college. It can really be of some help when u r in a tight budget or when u have low balance in ur cell phone. I believe a lot of people might have gone thru this situation when they lack of money badly.

...ah well..me? during my college days.., we used to do that all the time, it is very common to all college students..slightly different with missed call...it was called "drop call",..especially if im waiting for some one... i made a call and drop a message in a matter of 3 seconds then turn off the phone automatically.. in order to avoid call charges.. ..now, the service providers cut it off... so missed call is the new trend... though SMS is common in our country, so its not that difficult to make contact with anyone.. SMS load is more cheaper than making a call..
