I plan to port to umobile prepaid rm28 from maxis postpaid value plus rm50 for the data plan. But i do make
a) phone calls of about 250-350 minutes a month, (mostly to non-umobile number)
b) sms of about 80 (maxis) and 80 (non-maxis), (people who do not use whatsapp)

What is the best plan? I'm worried about the calls charges if i port to umobile prepaid rm28

And is there cheaper rate for friends & family on umobile? Like extra 10 for maxis

Thanks

for ur call & sms usage, should stay with maxis but change to talkmore48 plan. thats the best plan for u.
but for data, maxis is a little bit expensive and have extra charge after quota sweat.gif

since u want data, umobile28 seems suite u.

b4 u port to umobile, check their coverage at ur place 1st.

umobile28 prepaid free 100mins & 30sms. call charges is 9sen for 30seconds (take it as 18sen/min).

ur usage:
extra 150-250 mins can total up to rm45.
extra 130sms is rm10.40
in the end ur prepaid cost u 28+45+10.40 = about rm83/month.

If all telcos plans are considered (both prepaid & postpaid), which plan is the best for
a) phone calls of about 250-350 minutes per month
b) sms of about 150-170 per month
c) 1 gb data plan per month

seems that umobile28 prepaid the best for u. but data only 500mb, not 1gb.

lets look at the options for 1gb:

if u wont exceed that 1gb, then just stay with maxis and change to talkmore48.
talkmore48 comes with free 400 mins & 200 sms to all network (its in ur usage range).
maxis talkmore48 rm48 + 1gb data rm48 = rm96.

umobile postpaid u28: 350 mins is rm70 & 170 sms is free (included in bundle) so total will be rm28 + rm70 = rm98.

celcom (first voice prime rm40): 350 mins is rm52.50 & 170 sms is rm25.50 so total will be rm78, + 1gb rm38 = rm116.

digi (smartplan 1gb rm48): 350 mins is rm52.50 & 170 sms is rm17 so total will be rm69.50, + 1gb rm48 = rm117.50


Added on October 12, 2012, 3:53 pmor, IF, u dont mind buying iphone and got contract for 2 years, go for idigi plan i88 (rm60/month).
free 200 mins & 200 sms. extra 150 mins is rm22.50 so monthly will be rm82.50

If i take maxis talkmore 28 or textmore 28 plan, can i subscribe to value extras plan (RM8 for 500 sms or RM 8 for 10 friends & family)? It is not clearly stated on the website.
