stable , maxis and celcom ..

Umobile isnt recommended for BIS plan

celcom is good but the quota is 250MB [but practically it is unlimited as long as you using BIS connection ]

Umobile as far as I remember , RM 0.05/MB

I would recommend Postpaid ,

since you only sms about 40 SMS per month and around 20 minutes calls ,

go for Maxis VPI [Value Plus Internet] 50 , for only RM 50/month ,
you will get 250MB data + 100 SMS + 100 mins calls , just pay RM 50/month..

or if the Umobile is okay for you ,

go for U28 plan , you will get 100 free SMS[to Umobile] and 200 free SMS [to other telco] + 1GB data , for RM 28/month,.

based on your usage ,

RM 28 + 20 minutes of calls [ 20 X RM 0.20] = RM 32.00

so overall you need to pay = RM 32 per month





you want prepaid right..? , i dont think there are prepaid package + phone ,

1GB is more than enough , but it depend on your usage , if you always youtube and download things from internet , even 6GB also not enough

well, all telcos are good , and cheap .. the thing is , i need to know your usage to find the best...

for just call and SMS , how much you call and SMS in a month ..?

if with data , how much the data that you need in a month ,

+ where do you live + coverage + other criteria ,

those things are important info to find the best and suitable telco for you..


as far as i know for uMobile prepaid RM 0.05 per MB

Hi,

I think XOX prepaid suits u the most. See the below features that they offer;

1. 28 months validity
2. call within 30 seconds only cost you 8sen
3. SMS probably 10sen per msg or even free to same network (Celcom/Tunetalk)
4. The cheapest Data (RM18/300MB for a month) - Definitely enough for you to surf twitter & facebook!

how about the coverage and speed and stability ?

i heard about XOX b4 this , but I dont have so much info about it..

Absolutely good as they are using Celcom coverage.. but they are not under Celcom..

As I know they only roaming using Celcom network[Coverage] but not in term of speed and stability..


Are they roaming using Celcom 3G network..?

Sorry that i do not really und ur ques.. did you just mean the data roaming?
The stability was good as the speed is average~ ard 384kbps~

Well, it's been fine to me for communication apps & facebook those thing..

not only data roaming.. but also call/sms

because well , for tunetalk and umobile also bad in this ,

thanks though.. 384kbps is more than EDGE[2.75G] speed

Never really compared it, but was wondering, what's the best telco in terms of call/sms rates? regardless of prepaid or postpaid?

Tunetalk seems to be the best AFAIK, but their call block is 1 minute, and their data, is, hm.. virtually non-existant, if they had a more stable data, I would have just used them.

Give me some suggestions

if you want to say the best in terms of call/sms rate , you mean by the cheapest right..?


if prepaid,

Tune Talk --> 16 sen/min , 5 sen/ SMS , 5 sen/ 1MB data
Umobile --> 18sen/min , 9sen/30sec[charging block for calls] , 8 sen/SMS , 5sen/1MB data
Celcom Xpax --> 28 sen/ 3 min , 5sen/ SMS

actually for prepaid they also have extra things such as reload Bonus , extra bonus and other things [promotions] , so Its up to you to find which one is the best..

because it hard/difficult to find the best, every time they come with new promo



well, for postpaid , it depends on which package that you choose.. , there are no flat rate for every package

Hm.. The "problem" I see with Maxis is that for their postpaid, the SMS rate to non-Maxis is really crazy at RM0.15/ea, might as well make a phone call instead.

Hm.. I didn't realise that U-mobile's SMS rate is a flat rate at RM0.08/ea, probably could consider that instead of Tunetalk which I'm using at the moment, since U-Mobile have an acceptable data speed compared to the pathetic Tunetalk unit

if you want speed + stability , go for Celcom and Maxis

actually that SMS rate isn't flat rate..

it is RM 0.08 to other telco , while RM 0.03 to same telco



which Maxis postpaid plan that you talking about..?

I suggest , you go for Maxis VPI 50 , RM 50/month



yes , the rate is RM 0.15/ SMS to other network , but you got free SMS allocated there..


for postpaid, to find the suitable plan and telco , you need to know how much is your usage for a month .. then, you can decide which plan and telco to choose

Again, thanks for the info. I've done some reading on U-Mobile's site yesterday after you mentioned it. Yeah, it's RM0.08/SMS and RM0.03/SMS, but I consider it as a calculation of RM0.08/SMS, don't think anyone I know is using U-Mobile What I'm actually worried is the network outage that happened to it quite a bit for the past 6 months, although this might not be my main phone line, there are still worries about this issue.

Maxis Postpaid plan if not mistaken is the same call/SMS rate regardless of the plan we take. And there's a new Internet plan available, Internet Value Plan, RM50 for 1.5GB of data(subsequently charged at RM0.30/MB) and for call/SMS is pay-per-use.

Here, manage to get the image off Maxis' site.


And another contractual based one where it's the same as above RM50 package but at RM48 with the option to add 500MB data for RM5, but with a 12-month contract.


If it's going to be choosing a data-based postpaid plan, I think it's a no brainer for me, I'll take this over DiGi anytime as I've had bad experience with DiGi's data connection for the past year or so(as compared to earlier on).

so , your usage is data > SMS/call ..??

you concern more about the data right..?

not all Maxis plan have the same SMS rate ,

if you choose Maxis Value First 30 , the rate is -->




anyway , if you concern more about the data , can go for Maxis IVP , if concern more about the call/SMS , can go for Maxis VPI ,

Hm.. Was initially more concerned about call/SMS, turns out I doubt I could even use up all the RM30 for call/SMS, might as well get a data centric plan and use WhatsApp more

Maxis IVP 50 is enough for you...

now i am using maxis postpaid value 50 that plan ...normal usage is about rm80-100 per mth for 2 lines.( 1 sub line for my dad)....

thinking to take a samsung note with signing up the contract Plan....will add 1 more extra sub line for my bro also....he is using iphone 4 now...concern on data also....

pls advice for the most valuable package for me...thanks a lot...

u want plan bundled with phone or not...?


well , I don't suggest u to take the plan that bundled with phone..

I suggest u buy the phone outside , and then, just subscribe plan..

ok,

--> how much is your call/SMS usage..?
--> for your bro , how much the data that he used ? seems that he use iPhone 4 , may need around 1GB


well, since you want supplementary line , I can't suggest Maxis IVP

Internet Value Plan by Maxis cannot used by supplementary line user



so , I think better go for Maxis Value Plus Family , [the one that you subscribed now]

you just need to add Mobile internet package




or can go for Maxis VPI,



if the data allocated not enough , can add more -->




mind that... you have free SMS and calls

thanks you 4 ur quick response....my call usage is about rm70..sub line rm10...jarang sms..hahha...lazy to type...
i think 1 GB for him is enough...

the phone bill i can claim company rm200 per mth...thats y ask all of them go under my a/c.....so u suggest me to buy the phone from outside la.....okok...will look for it then....thanks...

yup, better buy phone outside , cheaper also..

then , you take VPI 80 and your brother take VPI 30[supplementary line] , and then.. can add the data

okok.....thank you very much for the advice....tqtq
