Understand Global Warming

I have got 6 correct. What about you? Know it before too late.

Register to Get Bill Free

First of all, this is a follow up to the post “E-Statement…”. The major motivation for introducing to you this feature contributed by TM is to save more trees and petrol. So do you have your latest TM bill on hand? This is because you need to key in some information from the bill in order to get access.

So first step, logon to http://www.tmonline.com.my/, then find the REGISTER link shown below:

Then, you will be on the registration page. Just fill in all the required fields, and choose to either fill or not to fill the optional fields. In the form you will need to fill in your bill account number, date of bill and amount outstanding for any of your latest 3 months bill.

Then you are ready to go. Remember that you need to set the bill delivery setting to as below:

And, once you set the receive paper bill to NO, you need will only be able to change the setting 3 months after that. However, that does not matter because you could just want the setting to be forever. Why receive paper bills? Ya, the setting is reachable at profile>bill delivery once you login to the account successfully.

So, you then get bill free from TM. Anyway, you are not paying less, just remember (I hope TM could give a bit of incentive for users done so). Yet you are helping as human being to be more friendly to the environment.

E-Statements Instead of Hardcopies… Be More Friendly to the Environment

I have just got a notification HSBC that they will be no more sending me the monthly statement. It reminds me that CITIBANK as well, already stop from sending me the monthly statement since months back. They are now only give me the e-statement forwarded to my email every month. Don’t feel any inconvenient since then.

To me this is a good move. It helps to reduce a lot of paper waste, and more importantly, eliminate tremendous amount of energy for sending the mails. Of course, you may want to say that the savings is only benefit to the business people, because they have the cost cut. That’s obviously true, but we are not in any lost also. Maybe if the business could give some incentive for clients receiving e-statement instead of hardcopies, it will help to encourage people on accepting this concept. The best arrangement will be win-win for everybody.

So the trend do goes on. I just figure out that the telco company also provide options for users to stop from receiving hardcopy statements. Just one of the example, I have just registered an account with TMonline. With the account, you do have the choice to have no paper bill sent to your mailbox. Instead, you can view your statement online or sent to you via email.

According to another friend that is using mobile services from Maxis, they charge extra for any hardcopy statement sent to you. In another words, you are saving some bucks for saving paper bills.

No matter what, the best reason is by eliminating paper statements, you are saving our environment. Unless you are not online and do not have an email (which is unlikely since you are reading my article now), then what stops you from doing it? Maybe your feedback do make sense and worth thinking. Please do comment if any.
