Downgrade your DiGi SP48 to DiGi SP28 ? Or convert your DiGi line to DiGi best prepaid and MNP to Tron one month later ?

Best quota/RM should be Celcom Xpax Magic SIM Burung Hantu (RM10 for 10GB but it is only for use between 1am - 7am)

It's probably DiGi Smart Prepaid. RM88 for 10.5GB.

Are you looking for prepaid or postpaid ? From the first 3 points it looks like prepaid (low usage) but then you mentioned low cost member line which suggests postpaid.

Anyway, have you tried Tunetalk (rides on Celcom network) ? Or you can consider Tron (rides on DiGi network) too. For low cost call Tunetalk is probably cheaper but it will still be more expensive than UMobile (provided you're on Power Prepaid plan with RM0.05/30 sec. For the cheapest call rate on prepaid, UMobile is the undefeated champion.

It's probably DiGi Postpaid 28 More Internet then. It comes with 1GB data, 50 minutes call and 50 SMS.

What happens when the 28 months validity is up ? Can we extend the validity by another 28 months or am I asking this question too early already ?

Thanks.


Postpaid is gonna be expensive. Besides, most postpaid plan comes bundled with data these days.

How about Tunetalk ? They ride on Celcom network so call reception should be fine. RM0.16/min and RM0.10/min from the 3 minutes onwards.

You can just port-in your mom's number to Tunetalk. No change of mobile phone number is necessary. As for reload, you can help her to reload online.

What's the average usage of your calls and SMS in the past 2-3 months ? You should be able to get a clue there. And do you always fully utilize your 3GB data ? Or 3GB is accessible for you ?


First you should check the IDD call rate. For instance, my dad always calls to the US. Previously he called using his Maxis Postpaid line but he later found out it is a lot cheaper to call from Hotlink number (RM0.16/min from Maxis Postpaid vs RM0.04/min from Hotlink). He had checked DiGi Prepaid IDD call rate to the US and Hotlink is much cheaper.

Hotlink Postpaid 40 doesn't come with unlimited data though. U Mobile Giler Unlimited Prepaid 38 (RM35/month) perhaps ? Do make sure U Mobile reception is good at the places you frequent by buying a prepaid SIM to test it out first though. Can't think of any postpaid plan that comes with unlimited data priced below RM50/month.


Most postpaid plans have no separate hotspot limit. Only some postpaid plans that come with unlimited data have hotspot limit, such as Digi Postpaid 80/100 Infinite, Celcom MEGA Unlimited M/L, U Mobile Giler Unlimited Postpaid GX50/68 etc.

If you are talking about the regular postpaid plans such as Hotlink Postpaid, Maxis Postpaid (MaxisONE 98/108/128/158/188), Digi Postpaid 80/120/160/190, Celcom MEGA Lightning M/L/XL, all these plans do not have separate hotspot quota. You can use your data directly from your mobile phone or via hotspot.

Digi Postpaid 150 Infinite is truly unlimited - high speed unlimited data unlimited hostpot.


Celcom MEGA Unlimited L capped speed of 15Mbps is applicable only to video streaming sites, the rest is high speed. Assuming high speed in your area is 30Mbps, then the real speed is 30Mbps when surfing all websites other than video streaming sites.

As to why Celcom MEGA Lightning M/L/XL is only 30Mbps, this is area dependent. In some areas you may get over 100Mbps, in some it is 10Mbps or so. Generally any mobile carrier can give you a stable and consistent 4G speed around 30Mbps to 50Mbps in this country is considered quite good, for now.


For Digi Postpaid 80, your total data will become 80GB after this particular line of yours has been active with Digi for 24 consecutive months. Basically you will get an extra 10GB loyalty data every 6 months for 4 times.

As for hotspot for Digi Postpaid 80, the data quota displayed on your app is all good for hostpot. There is no hotspot restriction for Digi Postpaid 80 or any or its supplementary lines.

FYI, Digi Postpaid 80 Family lines each get 40GB data + unlimited calls only. Only the principal line get additional 300 SMS per billing cycle. The loyalty data i mentioned earlier does not apply to Digi Postpaid 80 Family lines. So it means after 24 months staying active with Digi, your principal line will get 80GB data whilst the data for all supplementary lines will stay 40GB each.


No. There is no difference. Supplementary line for Maxis Postpaid (MaxisONE) is optional. A lot of my friends on MaxisONE 98 do not have a supplementary line.


Besides Unifi Air and Digi Postpaid 150 Infinite the previous poster mentioned, you can also consider MaxisONE Go WiFi. The price is RM138 for non-Maxis Postpaid subscriber and RM108 for Maxis Postpaid subscriber and the RM108 monthly fee is applicable for 12 months only. After 12 months the monthly fee will revert to RM138.

Digi has both prepaid pass for RM28/month as well as Digi Postpaid 28 also for RM28/month. The Digi Prepaid bIGbonus 28 pass offers overall better value since it offers more data but only for certain hours every day on top of all-day data.

Check out Unifi Bebas Prepaid.

Digi Postpaid 150 Infinite.

The plan you subscribe to is the base Celcom Mega plan, not Celcom Mega with Lightning M Pass because the said pass comes with an extra 10GB data (total is 50GB).

Area dependent and performance between day and night could be very different too. Best is to buy a Celcom Xpax to try it out first before you MNP your Digi line over to Celcom.
