Hi erry~,

It seems that the cheapest data plan is U Mobile for RM 28, while Digi is close at RM 38 (after minus off rebates or something?) but does coverage also play a part in it too?

I'm planning to get a smartphone but have no idea how the internet coverage is like in areas, let's say PJ, Sunway, Puchong area? What is your recommendation? Thank you!

Hi there,

I've got a question on whether postpaid and prepaid is better. I used to think postpaid has the most value for money, but am starting to think otherwise. For instance, U Mobile...

U Mobile postpaid U28 (RM 28/month)
Data : 1GB
Calls : -
SMS : free 100 to UMobile ; 200 to others

Sounds very decent but when I look at their prepaid...

U Mobile prepaid UMI28 (also RM 28/month)
Data : 500Mb
Calls : free 100mins (extra unused rolls over to max of 200mins)
SMS : free 30 to all (extra unused rolls over to max of 60sms)

Sounds less beneficial at first with the lower data and free sms, but when you think about it if you are a light user...in a month let's say I use 60mins of call and 20sms...I get a roll over of 40 mins calls and 10 sms-es. So if I topped up RM 28 for 1st month and I stay within the "free calls n sms" and at the end of 30days, I still have a balance of RM 28 in my credit untouched which after top up another RM 28 for next month I will have a credit of RM 56 to spare...betul kah?

Digi also have a sweet sounding prepaid deal...they even roll over data until 2GB max! What does the sifus think of prepaid and postpaid value-for-money? =)

Thank you all!
