    I’m extremely impressed along with your writing abilities and also with the structure on your weblog. Is this a paid subject or did you customize it your self? Either way stay up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice weblog like this one these days

    How come friend finder need to ask for permission again? It was used friend finder long time ago

      I think it could be your friend remove the previous consent/permission.
      Another possibility is that the telco company itself revoke the permission because either you or your friend did not use the service for a long time.

      yyeaa i face similar issue sometimes..

      already spoke to their customer service, they said it shows a nearby area because the user recently passed through there..
      if im not mistaken they say it should be within 1-2km in radius..
      best way is u can try to reach out to their customer service and ask them directly to confirm the location is accurate or not…

    Why the message said that hotlink/ maxis number is blocked

      If I’m not mistaken, it could be that your number was barred before. 1 of my family members kena like this before and she went to Maxis customer service to settle this.

      Maybe you can give them a call to get your number unbarred and mention to them you want to use the Friend Finder service
