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

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

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).

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
