Which telco having different prepaid expiry day with call and data ?

Lets say if my expiry date for call is tomorrow but I subscribe for data plan for 1 month , can I still surf online eventhough the call is expired ( still can receive incoming call ) ?

it's like call expiry not the same as data date ? Plan to use it for browsing only not for calls.

Hi all sifus,

I just got a smart phone (sam galaxy note 3) and i start to feel the need to have data plan, mainly because I need to use whatsapp and GPS while on the road (when no wifi available), and I wish to keep the cost to as low as possible. i won't use it for high volume download-i'll do it at home and office as i have unifi there.

so far, i see that uMobile umi28 and umi38 like highly recommended because it gives some free casll minutes and sms too.

I'd like to ask: got any other data plans that beat this uMobile or not?

Thnks a lot........

p/s don't care prepaid or post-paid. as long as cheap!

mengsuan which telco separate data and call plan ?

I assume the accounts needs to be active. If you need only data, why not consider a broadband account? You cannot make calls out of it though

But I wanted to use prepaid rather than postpaid which need a plan to subscribe for the same amount even I didn't use up to 10% of the quota limits.

Not much people active here ? only one reply ?

Anyone using #hotlink how much free internet they give?

The free internet for #Hotlink is unlimited as long as your SIM card is active. The speed is more suitable for chat messaging such as WhatsApp, Hangout or even WeChat, but the experience isn't great if you're uploading big picture files or streaming videos.

For that, you can buy their internet passes, whether daily or weekly. See options here: www.hotlink.com.my/freeinternet

I heard that this plan is no longer available; has been retired The talk more 28 should still be available though.

okay thank you

currently using umobile umi48 for 2gb data, free 100 minutes, free 30 sms
so far so good
fast and good signal coverage

Just ported in Digi Prepaid_MNP_1GB (RM18) from UMobile Prepaid.
Network is fast, Voice Call & SMS is PAYU.

same here.. but too bad they didnt support 4G for idevice..

Hi, I'm currently planing to migrate overseas and am currently using the UMobile SP86 plan. As I would need the phone to do SMS notifications like online credit card purchases etc. After doing some thinking I started researching on online there was a few possible prepaid sims that I can port to that would have the 1 year credit validity.

After some research, I noticed that Hotlink no longer offers the 365 validity for new sim cards and was thinking of the Celcom XPAX one but have a few possible questions.

As I am planning to live overseas, I wouldn't be subscribing to the monthly plan but then use the Social (RM10 for 150MB data) until I travel. I was thinking of porting and then loading RM30 to extend the credit validity for 1 year and add a credit of RM100 (so that I can use the phone in case of emergencies.)

1) I presume that XPAX prepaid will allow me to use it while I am overseas (as they do offer IDD and International Roaming?
2) I presume that the RM100 credit that I reload will last for one year? (This is because I need to load of minimum of RM30 in 6 months right?) this is because I would be overseas and would be troublesome to reload it monthly.
A line from their terms: In addition to the above, the customer must reload a minimum of RM30 (e.g. Minimum of RM5 x 6 months) for a total cumulative period over 6 months from first subscription date of the Service.
3) The balance of data that I will be using can be carried forward for at least 1 year? (I may come back periodically and use some data).
4) Is there a better alternative (cheaper and better) then my current plan?

Thanks.

365 not allowed for #Hotlink

Go with celcom. Celcom have better roaming overseas than MVNO like XOX.
1 - yes XPAX prepaid have IDD and International Roaming. call 111 from celcom line to see your sim already enable International Roaming. I do nothing but suddently recived sms your International Roaming is already active ! credit balance always less than RM10.
2. Extended validity - RM30 fee for 1 year. After that must reload RM30 min first 6 month. That is. Never use or no sms/mms scam credit balance still there.
3 - Social plan 150mb only valid for local celcom domestic network. If u enable data while roaming u will charge with roaming fee. data balance can be carried forward until finish or credit validity expire whichever come first.
4 - umobile have limited roaming partner.

Thanks. Will likely stick to my plan then.
