Hey guys, so I'm really clueless when it comes to this telco business. So I wanted to ask if there's any pre-paid plan with very long credit expiry date, or better if there aren't even any? I don't really use my phone much, and it's getting annoying to reload monthly just to keep my credit valid.

Thanks.

My Digi postpaid (under my dad name) is experiencing some serious lagness in 3G, my active area is menara maybank, setapak, Cheras and maybe Sg Long area in near future.

Should I switch to Maxis or Celcom postpaid? Budget no issue looking for coverage stability.

Can I just print my dad latest bill and change in Maxis/ Celcom booth?

Thank you Ya.

Is Celcom prepaid the only prepaid plan with internet access without a time limit (as advertised)? I plan to use it as a backup phone with internet access.
So if I get on the xpax24 package and subscribe to CHAT once (RM5) once, will that give me 50Mb of internet downloads for the whole year if I pay for the extended long life (1yr)?

umobile - credit validity is longer compared the other 3 telcos. RM10 20 days, RM30 60days RM50 100 days? something like that

OR

hotlink - they have this validity 90/365 thing but it's not applicable to their #hotlink (which is their new hotlink plan i think)

i'm in the same boat as you. also my uncle.

Mine is still hotlink youth club, will ‘buy’ those validity thing once my HYC expires… it has been ages since the last time I top up. I helped my uncle, purchase "validity 90", extend validity for 90 days and subsequently automatic renewal, without top up.

not sure about xpax celcom cause limited knowledge.

Consider Tunetalk annual prepaid, no 6 month topup required.

Was called up by DiGi today telling me that my 3GB iDiGi 68 plan is no longer valid in the market...

They had advised me to sign up for 12 month contract to retain the contract with auto-debit at RM63, with the catch that now all packages NO LONGER have unlimited internet. It's capped at 2/3/5GB and only Whatsapp is usable and surfing via Opera Mini...

This sucks. Previously after my 3GB quota they'd throttle my speed to 128kbps, which is still fair enough.

Am now looking to jump telcos again (Previous Maxis user for 10 years...).

Am just looking for a simple data plan with 1/2GB with throttled/'unlimited'internet without contract, seeing that phones are now so affordable why tie yourself down to one? Hehe

I spoke to a Tunetalk customer service lady a week ago, she told me that the SIM is only valid for 30 days after it the credit has expired, after which the number will no longer be valid and the SIM will expire

Tunetalk annual

Of course prepaid will expire as normally. You must pay extra for the annual validity.

Unless it's changed within the last few months, look on the website. Or ask live chat.

Hi would like to ask about the prepaid plans available. I have a second phone which i would like to use as a backup. I am aware that most telcos provide some kind of 365 days validity plan.
Does this mean i can top up say rm10 or whatever and use it anytime for calls/sms within those 365 days?

what are the best plans which offer 365 days credit validity?

free basic internet would be preferred if that is available .

P.s: i am in Kuching Sarawak.

As you may refer from my signature below. I am a SONY Xperia Z1 and Maxis/Hotlink user, I am currently a student. Bought the phone without any contract, which means I don't have any phone plans or what so ever. I don't need internet access all the time, but I do find myself in a position of requiring a mobile data access occasionally. My current solution is to buy the RM2 per day for 100MB mobile internet plan whenever I need. Here are the problems. I can't even use up all the given 100MB mobile data access every time, in 24 hours. Usually by the end, I will have around 50MB to 60MB left of data limit. The rest will be wasted, leaving it there for it to expire on time. So, I need suggestions on this. Are there any plans from Maxis/Hotlink that suits me best depending on my usage? Plus, if I am gonna carry on buying the RM2 internet pass for the rest of the time, I might end up spending more than the other provided plans packages. Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

Get a TT SIM, pay for 365 days, physically swap in and out when you need data, starts at midnight 24 hrs. for 88 sen 50mb (plus 10 sen SMS each start/stop). Careful, auto-renews at midnight. Other times, 5 sen for quick bytes, no package.

Maxis: does your plan have annual? If new Hotlink, no annual, then consider Rm10 7days once in a while. If you finish the high speed quota, still got free 24 hr 64kb slow connection, and number validity 50 days.

Is it worth it to change to those new telco?
Umobile gives unlimited internet access..at least i will never worry about using more than my quota..which is the 1st concern to me..
next is..umobile gives free sms and calls though i just use rm18plan..
thus i wonder is it worth it if i change to altel or clixter or redone...
so far i dont see they provide free sms call like umob..
hm
suggestion?any1?thanks
