If AC cannot handle more new members joining then dont give out pw openly. The pw was given to me by TU via pte msg. And i didnt know its opened up till i download Parlingo.
Raymond has also called me via phone, so what's all these..
This system was contridicting by itself. Ya...anyway losing one genuine member no big deal...there are more to come anyway.
Maybe i joined at the wrong time.

I did join Parlingo Group few weeks ago just to get a feel, and left the group after few day, since I was just starting my course then. But I will join in about two week time after I collect my TDVL and my Taxi from SMRT.
Junior Lex I do not know what are the problem you are facing with the group. I hope some one can help you resolve.
I do have a question about using Parlingo. How do you press to talk while you are driving? Anyway to press the ear piece to talk? or we need to press the mic icon on the phone?
But having said that i must thanks some bros esp joetanks who advised me when i asked live when i got advance call at 2200 hrs while i was driving ard in orchard and dare not moved out of downtown as my booking was at UE Sq to Airport.

And i think ac did also advise meyet also request me to take picture of my mdt bearing my name and plate no. But i depend on my fone for route direction when with pax..and only normal street fetch then mdt will show my name and car no....but not sure.... as blur on 1st day...trying to do my part well while earning money.
Why need take picture of MDT bearing my name and taxi no.? Just drove ytd, only when normal pickup then i can take picture of it. But it sounds silly. Does everyone undergo such 'ritual'?
Junior Lex, How do you know you need to provide a picture of MDT?
Few weeks ago when I first joined, there wasn't any such requirement. Anyway as I said I left the group on my own accord since I was not active driving yet.
I didnt know too when i joined 1 month ago after TU msg me pw. After i joined another admin Raymond called me. Also nice guy, i shared with him details which he asked from me. But i seldom online as im not driving.
Only till ytd nite, i started my 1st driving at 19hrs and intro myself in parlingo while waiting at my pax place. Then about before 2100hrs or so...AC asked me for mdt picture bearing my name and plate no.
As i find inconvenient for me, so i posted in forum asking why need take picture as after my 1st nite drive, noticed only street fetch will show my details on mdt. But i need fone for direction. Even red light traffic, do not wish to take chance to hop for a quick snap...while im trying to learn the momentum of taxi driving.
Anyway as said earlier.....i will learn from the hard way instead seeking parlingo for support. Though inside there, there are indeed very friendly members who are understanding enough.

There's a P menu icon at top right hand. Click on that...a string of features will appear. Tap and hold on mic icon and speak from your ear piece. I have not tried ear piece control though.
Hi Lex. I'm sorry that such thing happens & I seldom visit the forum nowadays. I did not learn of this issue until I see so many email prompts for this channel.
Anyway, I 'll look into your matter when I'm back OTR tonight. In the mean time, please do not feel down due to such incident. Afterall, taxi drivers are all on the road to earn for a living, not to find trouble for anyone else. cheers ^_^
Really cannot understand the point behind.
Other members join no need such request, why I join need die die take picture of mdt.
Moreover when my 1st day i already been active in sharing otr conditions. TU also online, May, joetanks, etc. I even seek advise
regards advance booking....i eat full nothing to do join parlingo just to hear and contribute for nothing?? Whats wrong with this Alex Chan?
Ok.. Been in the channel for three weeks, also met Sam hwang, he has sat in pruis too.. After junior lex comment.. I check on parlingo.. And received the same request frm AC to take picture of mdt???
I been sharing whenever I am on the road.. Not sure why the sudden request?? Anyhow my hirer met an accident and cab is in workshop.. So for the mdt request.. Please wait till cab is ready for collection????
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience & any disturbance caused to you all & other new members to the channel. Please do not feel sour about such issue. In the mean time, all the Admins are trying to arrange a meet up (in progress as we drives in different timing) to fine tune such problem and I hope we can settle at least some issues ASAP.
So for the time being, please do not feel negative towards this channel and Alex is actually just doing his job. No one here is being bias towards anyone and we just want everyone to have good information & try to earn more income.
@ Junior Lex: Kindly contact Raymond (2248, who did talk to you before) again and he'll give you a better explanation of the scenario.
Thank you for the patience and I hope we can bring a more peaceful & friendly environment into this channel for every members to enjoy & be comfortable in with and to get on-the-road experience as fast as possible. cheers ^_^
Don't feel any apologetic, Rom. Like u said, everyone just yearn for good information and try to earn more income.
Thus, if members has already witness our participation as a true taxi driver, such action like taking mdt, though may seems easy job to seniors, but please spare a thought for newbie esp. those who depend on phone for conveying routes.
From this matter, apart from contridicting system, it clearly shows there's a lack of communication among members on such matters, apart from daily info sharing.
My personal view: till this stage, it seems fine for me whether to join in this channel or not...as it has shown several complication that is not favourable to new members just bcos the PW was open to everyone. And admin is covering up the own-created loophole with own means that is restricting new geniune members from joining.
How to expand further this potential channel with such actions and procedures that are in placed? before I can contribute further, I was not treated as a team member.
At the end of the day, let's not forget the objective you guys set up this channel for.......
