you are posting in this section, so I think you are referring to mobile internet package and not wireless broadband, right?

another question, you want prepaid or postpaid?

I asking again, you want mobile internet package and not wireless broadband, right?


hmm, Umobile throttle speed is 64kbps, Maxis, 32kbps/64kbps, Celcom [unsure] but mostly said 64kbps, Digi throttle speed is 2G speed[not even EDGE, 2.75G speed]

I also wonder which telco can provide more speed after throttle sweat.gif

Hi all,

Is it possible to add mobile internet plan on top of my prepaid service? I'm using Celcom Xpax now.

Haih, so long didn't read this thread...
Most of the prepaid are similar since you dont want to pay any FEE.

And, most of them require top-up and reload to maintain/lengthen its validity.

the longest validity that I know is = Happy Prepaid, Top-Up any value[of course min is RM5], validity is 60 days, The starter pack is available in Kelantan and Terengganu. There are many telco shops that still sell it

other than that is

Umobile

BUT, I still recommend that Celcom Xpax package[with fee] or Digi Super Long Life[Best Prepaid, also with fee]
that can last 1 or 2 years.. it is cheaper than just reload and reload...
go for Maxis/Hotlink prepaid broadband for faster speed, wider coverage... you won't regret
do you only want internet plan or with voice plan?

if you already have your own voice plan, what voice plan that you subscribed?

cheapest,

Mobile Internet Daily [500MB]        RM5/day
Mobile Internet Weekly [1GB]        RM18/week
Mobile Internet Monthly mLite [300MB] RM28/month
It still didn't covered Kuching yet.
Only some place around Klang Valley area.
hope can wait
LOL... there are many smartphones that you buy in Malaysia that can support Maxis 4G network, Nokia Lumia 920, Nokia Lumia 820, Asus Padfone 2, HTC One XL,
long short story

now, they only launch 2600MHz, Later, possibly around this year, they will launch another spectrum such as 1800MHz

yes

if you reload with Kaw Kaw [something like Hotlink Hot Ticket], you could get some internet data too tongue.gif

or subscribe
RM 5/day [500MB] or RM18/week [1GB] , it is unlimited though, after throttle = 64kbps speed[need to be confirmed]

Just dial *118# and select Broadband to subscribe

Hey Kae, thanks for the reply. I have already narrowed down my choice to Hotlink but the fee charged for a prepaid data plan over a month still bothers me. It goes up to RM50 minimum just for internet, however the data offered is more than I need.

I am really just looking at doing whatsapp or facebook browsing. Estimating to use around 200MB per month. Is there a way to subscribe to such service?

i hv a situation here.
I'm on U28 postpaid.
Father on Digi subline with sister - monthly total bill ard rm37-40, call charges ard RM10-15
mother on digi prepaid, top up ard 20-30 monthly but she don't use all those credits.

Both father & mother don't sms & surf net at all. They just make calls and not those talkative, long winded type.

I'm planning to consolidate father & mother into same account with either one as main line. but which one?

Thanks for help

Hi guys, Can I know whether there's any telco that offer supplementary plan with at least 1GB to 3GB in data for both lines and free calls among principal and supplement line?

For most I saw, the supplementary lines have really low quota for data. Please update me if I missed out something.

Thanks.

Suggest not bothering with primary/supp. If both lines have data, no benefit to being supp as you can do the free calls/messages things using apps (skype, viber, line, whatsapp, up to you).

Supp line (IMO) is for low-usage user who primarily contact the primary line. Like your children etc.

Thanks for reply smile.gif However I would prefer normal call considering the voice quality. smile.gif

btw just sharing, Digi smart plan can be used as both principal and supp line smile.gif well the primary benefit is enjoy free call among lines in the supplementary plan.

Everyone got their own personal needs, of course.

A lot of the telcos have 'add-on' free calls/minutes with favourite numbers from same carrier (Maxis and U-mobile have, that I know off). I personally think that call over data anytime is clearer than Digi due to Digi reception problems (personal experience with friend who travels up/down Semenanjung on a Digi line....), but if you really want 2G calls just use those add-ons? I think for U is called U Buddy, Maxis not sure, just one of their VAS.

Yea smile.gif did some reading before this, for the U Buddy service, you have to pay RM10 for 5 hours call among U Mobile users. As for maxis, I'm not sure about their VAS but like you said earlier their supplementary plans are not suitable for data user. For Digi they do not impose extra charges for supplementary lines and offer unlimited call from principal to supp lines but no doubt their reception always failed their customers sad.gif so I guess there are pros and cons for all the telco here rclxub.gif

If you're using Maxis VAS no need supplementary , use both primary (but Maxis is exp of course).

Perhaps you would like to put both numbers on U-mobile prepaid (UMI28 gives 500 MB data, or UMI48 for 2GB). When you reload they give you daily free minutes, check their website, at no additional cost.

Hi all..

I'm planning to convert celcom postpaid for my wife and my mother. Currently my wife as a mainline and both my mother and I as a subline. Just now I heard about celcom xpax kaw kaw and try to google about it but unfortunately my 3g signal not strong enough to load a xpax website which have a lot content and image. I hope someone is kind enough to tell me latest call/sms rate within celcom number, other telcos and also rate for 8pax.
