Hey guys,

I'm currently a Maxis postpaid user, and I barely use my phone for local calls/SMS, almost 97% of my monthly bill goes to international SMSes. My gf is in SG so yeah, explains the heavy SMSing.. we sms ALMOST as though we're in the same country, ignoring the RM0.20 sen per sms rate. For her side its $.15. My bills would come up to RM 100ish per month, when I was only using RM50 plan.. parents cant handle that...and I did my research and found most (maybe all actually) international SMS for any plan is flat, RM0.20 per sms. I was wondering what would you guys recommend? Hoping to cut down my monthly international SMS expenditure. Or is there another provider out there, not a local one that may be able to provide cheaper international SMSes?

For those people in long distance relationships, would love to hear your opinions on this!

Anyways, thank you for your time. Any help is really really appreciated.

thanks for the advice fruitie. I'll have to check with digi about this cuz for maxis, if you use your maxis overseas, it's considered roaming. roaming means you're charged at roaming rates which override whatever plan you have in Malaysia.

SMS from SG telco in SG to an SG telco in Malaysia is cheaper?? and vice versa for Malaysia??

gotta check with digi about this. DiGi's supp meaning it's gotta be a prepaid line right?
