hi help me lah,

do note that digi rm38 is smartplan 1gb with 12months contract without device (rm5/month) and signup with autodebit (another rm5/month but this for 6 months only).

if in klang valley area, u can still count on umobile ~
outside, prepare to live with 2g network ~

actually i did knew it.

even normal broadband simcard can also use in smartphone.
now got maxis 1gb rm18, digi 500mb rm15, digi 1gb rm19, etc.
in other word - as long as it is a simcard

previously i also using maxis home broadband (big modem with lan cable only) that can make a call too, so i use the simcard inside a pda. now maxis change the modem to wifi and rename it to home wireless broadband

but yes, all cant send sms.
but here usually people want a plan for a phone, and keep current number.

IF:

1. call about 400mins & 200 sms per month, go for talkmore48.

2. call about 200mins only & 100 sms per month, go for talkmore28.

3. call about 600mins & 500 sms per month, go higher at talkmore78.

it is a good plan, if, ur usage is between the free allocated offer

there is no catch.

for data plan, once u reach the quota, maxis will charge u at 30sen/mb.
so u need to install apps that can monitor ur data usage and alert/disable data after reach the quota.
its good if u have wifi at home/office so the data will be use only on-the-go.

me and my wife both using talkmore48. but we under biz plan. no extra charge after reach quota. but biz plan is another thing, here we talk about personal plan

the only 'hidden charges' is u'll be charge once reach quota.
but thats not 'hidden' coz already stated in t&c

others 'catch' is:
1. if u not a maxis postpaid customer for than a year, u need to pay advance payment rm1000. will be credited back in ur bill over a 5-month period.
2. terminate plan within contract will get penalty.

htc warranty is 2 years. u can just go to any htc center for warranty claim.

cant compare to other telcos coz other telcos didnt charge after exceed quota

digi/celcom/umobile will throttle / lower the speed but no extra charge ~

ya that issue also being posted here in LYN.

digi smart plan 48 and celcom first data 48.

in my house have digi smart plan 68 (x2), digi supersim15, and celcom broadband basic + voice 48 (also celcom 68).
but both digi and celcom didnt cut off data once reach the quota.
maybe, maybe, bcoz its an 'old' plan (registered in 2011, eventhough i just replace celcom sicmard due to chip faulty and they give me smartcard and booklet with "celcom first data" words).

need to ask for the real owner for 'affected' plans.

if u live in klang valley, u can port to umobile28 postpaid. rm28 with 1gb and free 200sms

go check which network signal is the best at ur place 1st

celcom: http://coverage.celcom.com.my/CelcomCovera...comCoverage.jsp
(look at Search Result, if HSDPA: Yes then its the best. if HSDPA: No but 3G: Yes then can consider)

digi: http://coverage.digi.com.my/broadband
(choose 3G instead of broadband)

maxis: http://58.71.131.131/mimsgoogle/gmapform.aspx
(untick EDGE and tick DC HSPA+ to see if got higher speed than HSDPA/3G)

do note maxis will charge u after exceed the quota. u need to install app or set the limit (android 4 & above) to cut off data once reach quota.

for 100-200 mins voice, seems maxis talkmore28 is the best. 50 mins to other network will be charge extra rm7.50
but 1gb data is rm48. so min rm76/month. for Gi Joe, 2 numbers is rm152.

Gi Joe, for celcom with less call and sms, get the first data lite + voice. this plan need to sign up with android tablet.
u can refer here - http://www.celcom.com.my/devices/tablets/a...xy-tab-7.7.html
rm48/month for 1.5gb, call rm0.15/min, and rm0.10/sms
100 mins will be rm15 so monthly is rm63

stalielim712, since ur usage is 250 mins + 100 sms, u can go for celcom first voice prime rm40/month.
ur usage will cost u rm52.50 then u can add 1gb data for rm38 so monthly is rm90.50

umobile, u can go for u58. rm58/month with 2gb and free 200 mins.
extra 50 mins is rm10 & 100 sms will cost u rm12. so monthly is rm80.
or u can add-on pack voice plus rm8 for 80mins and add-on pack sms plus rm8 for 80sms. balance 20 sms is rm2.40. so extra rm18.40 only (compare to rm22 a-la-carte) and monthly will be rm76.40 - the cheapest

if u guys dont mind have contract, wait till celcom/maxis/umobile come out with their bundle package so u can get the device with subsidy (cheaper price) ~

all above is postpaid plan and excluding stamp duty and 6% govt tax

my comment is still cant beat umobile u28 prepaid plan

yes

DC: Dual-cell, allowing a user to connect to two cells at once, thereby theoretically doubling the connection speeds for the user. An HSPA+ network can theoretically support up to 28Mbps and 42Mbps with a single cell although real life speeds are far lower.

So DC HSPA+: theoretically connect to two cells of 21Mbps at once, so can get 42Mbps ~

Added on October 18, 2012, 1:21 amHSDPA max speed is 14.4Mbps (malaysia at this speed).
HSPA+ max speed is 84Mbps (malaysia so far is 42Mbps).

if mostly use for internet, better celcom than maxis, coz maxis will have additional charges after u reach quota.

yes u can

Added on October 18, 2012, 4:45 pmumobile prepaid UMI28 is rm28 with 500mb and 100 mins. no additional charges after quota.

umobile can add booster plan rm10 for another 1gb, so for rm38, umobile can get 1.5gb with 100 mins.

tunetalk doesn’t seem to have a USSD activation option (e.g. *133#) and each SMS request to 2222 including check of status is charged at 10 sen per SMS.

even umobile postpaid 1gb rm28 (1gb and 200 sms) and 60mins call (rm12) will just cost u rm40. extra rm2 for 200sms, thats 1sen/sms

but if tunetalk coverage is better than umobile at ur place, then go for tunetalk lah ~

seems u not rarely make call or sms, then yes, thats the best plan for u ~

i also not sure either can upgrade current hotlink simcard to hotlink broadband or not.

try call 1300820120 and ask them. sorry me lazy to call

but current/previous maxis prepaid boradband will automatically upgrade to this hotlink broadband.

the setback is, u are not allowed to browse once your quota volume has met the pass volume.
u will be directed to portal to purchase a new pass.

or u can also try celcom first data + voice.
but this plan only available if purchased together with android tablet and have contract.

i recommend u maxis postpaid TEXTmore28.
rm28/month and u get 200 sms to all network. thats rm0.14/sms (and u also get free 100 mins to all network).
besides u can add value sms rm8 to send 500 sms to maxis.
so rm36/month for 500 sms to maxis and 200 sms to others, plus free 100 mins to all network ~

Added on October 19, 2012, 12:28 amor if with data plan, its umobile postpaid U28.
same rm28/month and 200 sms to all network.
no free calls but free 100 sms within umobile network, and free 1gb data.

This post has been edited by erry-: Oct 19 2012, 12:28 AM

prepaid plan, mostly cheap sms only within same network

so 1st u need to check which network u sms most.

celcom xpax same network 1sen, others 5sen.
maxis hotlink same network 5sen (activ10 is 1sen), others 10sen.
digi easy prepaid 8sen to all. or free to 3 digi numbers of buddy.
digi best prepaid 10sen to all, but got super10 (1sen to digi after rm1/day) and super10+ (same as super10 plus 5sen to others after rm1/day).
umobile same network 3sen (free 20 after sent 6 or in other word 18sen for 26 sms), others 8sen.
tunetalk 5sen to all.

ur motif? spammer? LOL

it still under category of spammer.

u should purchase bulk sms-pack instead of using normal prepaid plan ~

business but lazy to research about sms rate

both dont have 'best' prepaid plan for what u want

maxis hotlink, only new hotlink broadband plan wont charge u after exceed quota, also not slower speed, coz u are not allowed to browse at all! unless u top up the broadband value

call rate is not cheap (36sen/min) and sms is normal 10sen to all.

while celcom prepaid is rm18/week so thats rm72/month - for data only!

i went to all places u stated with maxis. all ok.

except, at tubau, bintulu (after bakun damn, going deeper inside, need to take a boat to cross river), digi seems better than maxis ~

no need to wondering, celcom just want to gain money from their prepaid cust

yes the bb plan can work as well on other smartphone, but rm25 for 250mb?
better get another telco

even celcom postpaid can get rm38 for 1gb
