What is the cheapest monthly data package available? My dad needs it when he driving t unfamiliar places. Rough estimate is 100MB per month.

my own usage, i use only 3g/4g internet. i barely do any phone calls/sms at all.

when i was in uk i just prepaid 1gbp by 1gbp worth of internet whenever i run out of data. im a very light phone user. so by reading back a few pages, digi 3gb rm50 plan seems sufficient for me. i suspect i wont even use up all 3gb anyway, my monthly usage must be somewhere near 1gb.

U Mobile:
Reload 30 get 1gb free: http://www.u.com.my/prepaid
RM28 for 3gb: http://www.u.com.my/postpaid

Celcom:
Reload 30 get 1gb free: http://www.tunetalk.com/my/topup/topuphow

these 3 plans should suit you, but coverage depends on where you are so you may want to check out on that

Is there a suitable 4g plan for me? Is there any benefits for going for a 4g plan? For example much btr internet speed etc.

the three that I mentioned does have 4g support Faster speeds (typically from 10 to 30mbps, but there are people getting >50mbps at certain areas), as well as better latency(page loads faster). But the thing with 4g is it is still new, and our telco typically have poor coverage(3g/4g but cannot surf) so sometimes you may still need to drop back to 3g and see if you can surf on 3g

Need some feedback on which plan to go for. Im a heavy data user, a few years back i used streamyx but i stop the subscription since the time i spent at home is quite limited because of my job.

I work as an auditor hence move from one client to another on a regular basis. Recently got myself a dual sim phone which now im surveying a combination of data plan that can give me the best data quota. Need your input on this.

Currently have digi family plan for phone call, maxis poweruser broadband for data. And recently got myself the maxis magic sim. Here are some of the combination if i were to only use 2 plans. Using unifi cost as threshold since i view it as a mobile version of the fixed line for my usage

1) magic sim+ maxis broadband.
I live in bandar baru bangi and celcom connection seems pretty good here. So the rm 25 magic sim covers the heavy download part. While the rm 158 12 gb maxis broadband covers the peak period data when im working. The pros of this combo seems to be good coverage for network. Because from my googling, it seems that maxis and celcom have the widest coverage for 3g or 4g. I can also opt for cheaper maxis data so that i can alocate more peak data for the magic sim so that the two network are more or less balance outin term of peak data. The cons seems to be that peak period data quota is not the best and it is the most expensive combo. The offpeak data for maxis also will go to waste sometimes

2) magic sim rm58+digi 20gb quota all day long.
Magic sim covers the heavy lifting and digi covers peak period data. Pros. If i reload the rm58 magic sim + the digi, it will give me decent peak data quota. Cons: people said digi dont have decent coverage. Not sure how true is that. At least in kl, selangor, and sungai petani, the speed is acceptable. Theoretically, magic sim could cover when digi network are not good.

3) magic sim only
For the price of the maxis rm 158 plan, i could just keep toping up the magic sim which give similiar peak data quota but unlimited offpeak data. Hence the convenience of 1 telco. But if the telco fail in certain place than theres nothing much i can do.

Which combo should i take? Personally i like the second option the most. Im open to other ideas too

Magic Sim is good but if you make call
it is damn expansive because of the calculation per block
but it is good for data
i find that postpaid much cheaper

Digi Best w/ Super Long Life (1 year 38) + Internet IDD(64kbps basic internet) = Annual Commitment = RM38

I now use Digi Best prepaid V4. It does not come with basic internet. Which version does come with the Internet??

it is not out of the box. Dial *138# and subscribe for IDD Internet club

Guys,what postpaid has the best data package?minimal calls and sms so doesn't really matter

guys,

now im using old package from Celcom.. Platinum package...

monthly bills around RM70-80... RM50 for 6gb data + call usage...

so better to stick with this plan or change to other affordable @ better package?

Hi all which telco package offers the best internet package? I make very little calls and a few sms. Mostly use FB messenger and whatsapp. Dont need too much data either 1gb a month at 4g speeds is enough. Looking for a cheap package around Rm20-30 with long validity.

beware if you are getting celcom postpaid. the monthly fee may be low, but when you sign up, you pay two times the monthly fee for the first month. they call it advance payment, and you will never get back the advance money later.

Scenario: Getting a new contract, considering either UMobile or Celcom signing Note 5.

UMobile:
Device 1899
Mobile Internet 3GB
Free voice 60 mins

RM65/month, i believe can sup a line to share quota with main line for RM10 / month

Total cost RM 75/month

Celcom:
Device 2038
Mobile Internet 2GB + 2GB (Weekend)
Free voice 50 mins

RM 45/month, sup line 500MB quota + 50 mins add on RM30/month

Device discount is so so considering that street price is around 2300, something better than nothing i guess.

Just need a main line+sup line to work in Msia as main line will be out of Msia 50% of the time while sup line is out of Msia 80% of the time.

im currently using Maxis, postpaid.
if i wanna change to u mobile, what should I do? should I go to maxis centre to discontinue or staright go u mobile?
