Just go to uMobile, and request them to MNP over. Make sure you don't have contract with Maxis or else the process will fail...

this I agree. it's like a "deposit".

if you terminate your celcom, you shall get the advanced payment back. umobile is charging this advanced payment too. so this point is not valid for comparison.

you got your refund automatically or had to go thru mcmc? their faq states the advance payment will be used to offset the first month's bill but that didn't happen for many.

had digi before, and the advance payment was returned as rebates over the first few months. very different from celcom.

is it mean i need to end the contract with maxis 1st? by going to maxis first ?

If you have existing contract with Maxis (eg. you bought your phone with 24-month plan), you CANNOT MNP out.

If your post-paid plan is not tied to a timeframe, you can MNP out. No need to go Maxis. Just go to your TELCO and they will do the necessary.

using hotlink prepaid for the last 15yrs i think (student time)

I believe you just need to buy the plan. For Hotlink, I think they have 1.5Gb + 1.5 (owl hours) for RM 30.

No need to switch plan.

I have using digi for 10 yrs plus, using an old obsolete plan. Smart plan 68. Monthly bill, including sub line (have 2 lines) total up to around rm 140-rm 170. only have 3GB data on main line, other 2 lines no data.

What is the best option available in today's market. Looking U-Mobile Hero plan, looks good, don't really understand the Celcom gold plan or any other plans in the market right now. Any comments from folks that had recently switch to a new plan.

Priority would be data, and fixed payment. So with u-mobile my commitment would be rm70+rm50+rm50, would be rm180.2 (gst incl.), data would be 17GB/month? Any other hidden chargers?

Is there a suitable 3G plan for me?
For now, I used Prepaid only....montyly around rm40 spent (total +- 4Gb)

Pospaid or Prepaid better?

you were but data is only 13gb (7gb+3gbn+3gb) , i checked with umobile before both hero member plan must be under the same main line name.

yes, the data quota would be 13gb only. Thanks for noticing.

So is u-mobile the best plan available in the market? All data would be utilized to the max, i don't believe there would be any carry over.

There would be an advance access fee(to be refunded when you terminate) as well as stamp fee of RM10(not refundable).

More details: http://www.u.com.my/postpaidbill

Cheapest option if you want all to have data would be to subscribe 3 x U28 (28 ringgit for 3gb data + 50 min free call + 200sms) = RM84 monthly. I'm seeing that although your smartplan only costs 68, even with 2 subline (add 10 per subline?), it still can add up to 140 to 170 which means that your calls are quite a lot also.

If that's the case, you can opt for P70 (7gb + unlimited call) + 2 x U28 = RM 126.

Hi guys, simple question, currently on umobile prepaid but I'm going overseas for studies soon. What is the cheapest way I can do to keep my number active for the next 365 days? I understand that umobile doesnt have a 365 validity offer thing so which telco would be best for me to MNP to?

ALTEL

Digi & Tunetalk has 365 days validity that you can subscribe to...

onexox - 28 months validity

You're right. I did not get the refund even aftr the termination

im now using ivalue 1 plan maxis
pay RM 100 a month with 2gb data
fell like pay for nothing as im not into call/msg ..

would like to terminate my contract
which telco offer more on data internet ? 4gb and more pls ..
and of course with below RM 100 monthly and if possible without contract
thanks

prepaid if you are not into voice call and sms.

hotlink fast 4g, 4Gb for rm48, can add 1Gb for rm8.
tunetalk, topup rm50 get rm20 extra, enough to buy 5Gb for rm68.
digi, 3.5Gb for rm30, get 2 cards if you need more than 3Gb, but redemptions are troublesome.
