Flatrate in SE Asia

Hi!
I'd like to know which countries in South East Asia have
flatrates when it comes to local calls.
Thanks,
Kyle

   what for? that's why you haven't got a response. most local
   calls in asia are so cheap you don't need to worry if it's
   flat rate or not. a payphone in bangkok works with 2.5 cents
   worth of baht. i don't think i have ever talked long enough
   to put 25 cents worht in.

   HE HAS A GOOD POINT - BUT IT'S NOT SO CHEAP IN SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA.
   TIMED-LOCAL CALLS ARE A RIDICULOUS ANACHRONISM IN THIS DAY OF THE INTERNET.
   THE SOONER GOVERNMENT'S EVERYWHERE
   ABANDON THEM - AND THEREBY STOP SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING THEIR CITIZENS ON-LINE - THE BETTER WE'LL ALL BE.

3. here's why... Added by: Kyle

   I'm collecting information for our campaign against the
   metering of phones here in Europe. I know the data for the
   Philippines, and I do know that China and Vietnam both
   offer flatrate systems (no per-minute charges on local
   calls). However, I'd like to know the line subscription
   costs too.
   How much does it cost to call someone else in Bangkok for
   example and how much does it cost per month to have a phone
   line? I know that in Malaysia it costs 0.03 ringgit per
   minute, is there a connection fee for each call made and
   how much does the subscription cost? Earlier I was informed
   that Singapore also had a flatrate system, though it seems
   I was mistaken. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
