That will save you a lot of money. Never use Singtel or M1 auto-roaming here, it will kill you
As for transportation, i will advise you to spend a bit of money to buy an old motorbike. It will save you a lot of money. By the way, new motorbikes are not cheap here, so an old one will do.
Hope this helps.

Bro SingViet,
Seriously, I am getting worried, I think I'm being shortchanged by the company.
I am completely in the dark about what type of costs to expect over there. While I'm not expecting to live like a king over there, I expect at least not to worry about the daily necessities.
I'm just employed as a marketing manager for a small SME. How much can I expect to spend on food per day, just for sustenance, not inclusive of entertainment and extras?
Handphone: Mean the normal Nokia mobile phone or those specially for inserting a top up card type?
Transport: Read that motorbike is the best way. But need license?
btw, which district are you in?
Thanks!
