I think the call rate is not that. The call rate for prepaid is RM0.09/30sec. So its actually RM0.18/min to all network.  smile.gif

thx for the correction

yeah.. RM 0.18/min wink.gif

When you subscribe, say 800MB data plan with smartphone, is 800MB refer to the amount of data that you download, or the amount of data combine with sent data?
*
depend on the telco ,

AFAIK, it is refer to the amount of download data ... smile.gif [browsing,streaming,etc ..]

and also some uploading data such as uploading photo to facebook, etc..etc..

I only call and use internet, but very limited (usually on wifi for data).

I am currently with Maxis, but I want to get out as I pay over RM150 per month and I am sure I could be off much cheaper. I also want to switch from postpaid to prepaid.

I am 99% of the time based in KL (near MidValley). My first choice would go out to U Mobile...because I can live with slow speeds (as I guess I am used to that with Maxis; which is also always slow when I use it).
*
my Maxis speed is fast smile.gif

so you need the call plan..

actually if you choose better postpaid plan... you will not get the high bill.. biggrin.gif


1. how much u call per month..?
2. how much u use the internet..?

1. since you need to pay more than RM 150 , i think you make so much call , prepaid plan call rates is more expensive than the postpaid plan biggrin.gif

2. internet , rarely... , so I guest.. the usage is below RM 10


So, Umobile is great.. but if u sign up for postpaid plan is better for your usage wink.gif

I have a data plan at Maxis. I hardly use the 2GB allowed but you pay RM99 for it. Add to that some RM50 family line and hence my RM150. I want to switch to prepaid so it is easier to cancel my (non-existing subscription)...as I might have to go abroad for a while soon.

I call less than 5 times a month, and always less than a few minutes max (only local). I only use internet when I am out for dinner or something; tracked it once; only about 200mb per month (rest is always via wifi).

Umobile prepaid is the best for you.. biggrin.gif

Which prepaid plan is the best for long expiry and calls?  No SMS, MMS or data.  I'm on DiGi but the new number can be with any telco.

Thanks.
*
1. Digi Super Long Life , 365 days validity , just need to pay RM 30 , only digi best prepaid plan can subscribe this Super Long Life plan.. thumbup.gif

2. Umobile
top up RM 100 = 300 days max
top up RM 50 = 150 days thumbup.gif

Im currently using Digi postpaid and wanting to change to either Celcom or Maxis... Need advice on which one is more reliable.

Here is my comment for current Digi package. I signed up for digi postpaid when i first got my Android Hero almost 3 years ago. Rm 58 (around) for unlimited internet, and rm 30 voice/sms. So minimum every month have to pay around rm 88. But almost every month I will reach its limit.. which is rm 110-rm120. The thing is... I dont think I actually did make so much call. I am a light user for phone... never really Chat on phone.. just normal calling once every few days. I think i have been over-charged. I choose digi at first because i thought it is the cheapest.. but now I think with the amount im paying.. i can go for better line like maxis or celcom.

My experience with digi 3g n its line quality is SUCKS. 3G is hell slow... I never really bother surfing net on the phone with it. And youtubing is out of question. People always calling me... usually needs to try 2-3 times to get through to me.. otherwise they will be sent to voice mail.. and i will receive " you have 3 missed call" sms from digi after that. Really give up with digi already.

So in between maxis and celcom which one is better? in terms of 3g speed, and coverage, and calling rates? I might be getting a new phone if their package is good enough. I ask about celcom already, about what will happen if lets say i reached my 3GB data ... the answer is it will slow down and no additional charges. Can anyone tell me how the maxis one works? I heard of friends having their iphone running overnight and get charge rm 300+ a night.
*
What phone are u using right now..? , and how much the data that you need..?

both Maxis and Celcom has excellent coverage..

Maxis

user posted image

Choose VPI 80 if you calls more than/around 300 minutes and send around 300 sms'

If not, better you choose VPI 50 , and then subscribe another 1GB

user posted image

if after exceeded the data, you will incurred the charge around RM 0.30 / MB thumbup.gif


Celcom

you choose the Celcom Exec 50 Postpaid Plan , and then + Celcom Broadband mBasic [1GB] for RM 38

Celcom got unlimited internet plan [no charged if exceeded the data,]

Currently im using HTC Hero.. and i almost off my data 3g all the time because the phone battery is dying... whenever i on 3g will sucks up all batteries.. But about to change phone... thinkin Samsung Galaxy Note... Then sure the data usage will b a lot higher.. im expecting 3GB is needed..

So for Celcom... I think Exec 50 + Madvance rm 58 = total rm 108 a month. Then I can probably get a Galaxy note for rm 1.6k

What is the similar package for Maxis? too bad it doesnt have Galaxy note.. then mayb go for galaxy sII.

For sms and voice call.. I think Voice call should be below 100minutes, and sms maybe around 150-200 sms.
*
Celcom package should be cheaper and better biggrin.gif

Maxis package is a bit expensive..

Should I get the Galaxy Nexus and sign internet package with Maxis or straight away bind a contract with Celcom?

Maxis or celcom is better in terms of coverage, speed and reliability?

And about the celcom package, the website says 53/month but when I went to see http://www.celcom.com.my/smartphones/android.php#android1, the lowest payment is 88/month, quite confused here.
*
Celcom ,
it is for early bird , RM 10 X 6 months rebate..

and for "non-early birds" << lol at the term that I use , u need to pay upfront payment , RM 300 ,

let say u subscribe the 12 months contract , the upfront payment will become as a monthly rebate..

RM 300 = RM 25X12 , so... from RM 88 per month , RM 88 - RM 25 - RM 10 = RM 53 biggrin.gif [for the first 6 months] , then another 6 months , you'll need to pay RM 63/month .. , then after that --> normal rate , RM 88/month


in terms of coverage,speed and stability , both maxis and celcom has similar performance , celcom might have better coverage, especially at East Malaysia..



anyway, what is your needs,requirement and usage..?

both Maxis and Celcom plans has it own advantage... biggrin.gif

If you guys/gals had to choose between Umobile and TuneTalk (prepaid simcard), which would you choose?

I noticed TuneTalk now also charges 5sen/mb....so I now am kinda confused.

the thing is what are your need and requirement..?

cheap call and sms rates?? cheap data rates..? or others...?


Both are nice.. biggrin.gif

Almost don't call and don't sms. Mainly need it to be available by phone, and actively use it for data. I heard TuneTalk roams via Celcom. Not the fastest 3G, but all tests that I did once were faster than my RM150+ Maxis 3G plan...so that's why I want out.

Both data rates are the same, 5sen/mb...which is ok to me. Both charge per mb (session). Calling rates and sms rates are not important as I will not use that so much.
*
Umobile also roams via Celcom , smile.gif ,

what is your RM 150 + Maxis 3G plan ..?? there are many better plans for Maxis sweat.gif
