StarHub confirms 3G voice network disruption
StarHub says its 3G outgoing voice call service was temporarily affected in western and central areas but has been fully restored as of 5pm.
SINGAPORE: StarHub's 3G outgoing voice call service was temporarily affected in certain western and central areas of Singapore earlier on Tuesday (June 10), but the telco says service was fully restored at 5pm.
"We are monitoring the situation closely to ensure service stability for our customers. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and thank affected customers for their patience and understanding.”
StarHub earlier said the "intermittent 3G outgoing voice call issue" was being progressively restored, after complaints from customers on its Facebook page who said they have been unable to make calls since this morning (June 10). The telco had advised affected customers to switch to 2G networks to make outgoing calls.
Facebook user Abhijeet Kulkarni said on Starhub's Facebook page: "(I've been) unable to make any outgoing calls on my phone since 9.30am today." Another customer, Frasir Chan, also wrote on the page: "We at Bendemeer area are not able to make calls."
A viewer, Gary, informed Channel NewsAsia at noon that his network had been down for around three hours and he was unable to call out using his mobile phone.

SingTel introduces new 4G voice services
SingTel introduces new 4G voice services
SingTel has partnered Samsung and Ericsson to offer its Voice over LTE service suite, which touts faster call connection and clearer sound quality.
SINGAPORE: SingTel has partnered Samsung and Ericsson to offer its full-featured Voice over LTE (VoLTE) suite of services, named 4G ClearVoice, which it claims is the world's first.
In a statement issued today (May 19), the local telco said its VoLTE service will offer a suite of telephony services such as call waiting and forwarding in addition to making voice calls - all on its 4G network. A company spokesperson said while other telecom operators may have introduced VoLTE services, these are not as comprehensive as the one SingTel has unveiled.
4G ClearVoice will be made available to existing Samsung Galaxy Note 3 users first via a software update, which the telco said would be pushed out progressively between May 31 and June 1. Customers who buy new Galaxy Note 3 devices from May 31 will have the feature pre-installed, it said.
The service is available at no extra cost for SingTel's postpaid customers.
"Customers will enjoy the flexibility of making calls and using ultra high speed 4G mobile data services at the same time," Johan Buse, president of consumer marketing at SingTel, said in the statement.
VoLTE users will get to enjoy faster call connection services - in less than 2 seconds - and clearer voice quality compared with conventional mobile voice services, SingTel said.
While there are existing voice services delivered over mobile networks such as Microsoft's Skype, the company spokesperson said 4G ClearVoice boasts "carrier-grade" assurance in terms of reliability and quality.
He added the software update to enable SingTel's VoLTE service will be pushed out to other "popular handsets in the coming months", but did not specify a time frame.

Women shun fathers when ovulating, study reveals

A NEW study reveals women instinctively shun their fathers when they are most fertile, even as they seek out the companionship of their mothers.
The reasons, say the researchers, is evolution. Females in other species have also been observed to give a wide birth to male kin during periods of maximum fertility.
“The behaviour has long been explained as a means of avoiding inbreeding and the negative consequences associated with it,” explained lead author Debra Lieberman, a professor at the University of Miami.
“But until we conducted our study, nobody knew whether a similar pattern occurred in women.”
Professor Lieberman and colleagues examined mobile phone records of 48 women in their reproductive years, noting the date and duration of all calls with their fathers and, separately, their mothers over the course of a billing period.
They found that women called their dads less frequently during the days when the were ovulating, and would hang up sooner if the calls came the other way.
Overall, daughters were half as likely to ring up their dads during high fertility days compared to the period of menstruation. What’s more, the conversations that did occur lasted about half as long.
The researchers checked to be sure that the women were not giving their dads the slip in order to meet male suitors.
Nor were they simply trying to evade parental control: even when hormones were working overtime, the women were far more, rather than less, likely to give mum a ring.
Women have hard-wired mechanisms that protect against the risk of less healthy children, which tend to occur when close genetic relatives mate, the researchers concluded.
“It makes sense that women would reduce their interactions with male genetic relatives, who are undesirable mates,” Professor Lieberman said.
At the same time, when women are in their most fertile phase they are attracted to men with “masculine” qualities such as husky voices and competitive personalities, previous research has shown.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychological Science.
