I'm Lost...

I am on UMobile's U58 Postpaid
However, i want to get more data but don't want to suffer the slower speed. Therefore, i'm thinking of Maxis' Internet Value Plans.

There are two plans, RM75 and RM48 which I am considering.
RM75 a month for 3.5GB (extra @ 30c/MB)
RM48 a month for 1.5GB (can buy extra 500MB at RM5)

Since I can check the internet usage by just *100#, which is the better choice?

And!

Celcom has their Celcom First Data plan.

For RM68 they have 4GB internet (wow!) but then capped at 1.5Mbps sad.gif

Help me decide!!!
*
1. do you really need high speed ?? 1.5Mbps is consider fast , can play youtube video [480p] smoothly.. ,


Maxis IVP plans is good.. , it is worth for you...

you just need to choose which package that you want.. biggrin.gif

since previously you are subscribing the U58 plan.. I assume you need around 2GB to 3GB data.. so , the IVP plan RM 75/month is good thumbup.gif plus it is not a contract , while the RM 48/month package is 12 months contract package biggrin.gif

Guys, want to ask for recommendations on what mobile and data plan suitable for me. I'm from Melaka.

My general mobile usage is:
-occasional calls
-more sms

As for internet, I expect to use for:
-website browsing
-checking email
-whatsapp or similar apps
-occasional facebook
-maybe occasional update of apps

Please recommend suitable telco and plans for me. Prepaid or postpaid also can so long as monthly commitment not so expensive, preferably below RM40. Also, for those with experience of quality of coverage in Melaka, please do share as well. biggrin.gif From what I gather, U-mobile U28 plan looks good, but unfortunately they dont have 3G coverage in Melaka. sad.gif

Please advise me. Thank you very much. notworthy.gif

long call around 5 minute = celcom xpax
short call around 1 minute = xox or umobile

tunetalk using 60 sec call block, xox/umobile i think 30 sec block. xpax using 5 minute block non celcom or 10 minute block celcom - celcom

I'm currently on Hotlink prepaid. Usually I spend only about RM30 for top up. For internet, I have Streamyx unlimited package at RM66 per month. I'm looking to cut down my cost by terminating the TM fixed line, so I can save about RM26+ on the fixed line monthly charge.

I'm looking for a package about RM100 (being RM30 + RM66). I'd like this package to include about RM30 talk time or less, and unlimited internet bandwidth. I'm open to both suggestions on prepaid and postpaid. Does anybody know if such a package is available?

Edit: I use about 13GB bandwidth a month. I'm open to any service provider. I'll be terminating the fixed line and Streamyx. I'll then surf from my laptop with my handphone connecting to the internet and my laptop via bluetooth or wifi.

Thanks. I am open to any service provider as well. Not necessarily have to stick with Maxis. By the way, I use about 13GB of bandwidth a month. Hence, unlimited is important for me. Otherwise, I'd be paying through my nose for the internet access.

others like Umbile, Digi, Celcom also cannot fulfil your requirement .. they do have quota 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 6GB, etc..
