use the *111* callback service

in some countries/networks you can just call out like normal BUT the rates are much higher than under callback

Indeed, DiGi improved the reload validity for this plan. However, since they bar access upon reaching quota, an even smarter move would be for DiGi to drop validity altogether on this plan.

why you need to know? plan version izit?

Only the DiGi Customer Service can check this information.

Exactly, DiGi prepaid tariff is like the stock market. Sometimes up sometimes down. And we never know when it will change. Quite risky we invest in it. If DiGi cannot commit on its pricing, why should we user commit on the plan?

The default time is only 20 seconds. It can be extended to 30 seconds if you set up a call divert on unanswered.

Voicemail is waste of money. These days got Missed Call Alert good enough.

Once your top up validity has expired or your credit reached zero, all you can do is receive incoming call and sms. All other services are barred, including data.

What I know is this:

Hotlink allow you to continue surfing (using a data subscription) even if your credit reached zero.

U Mobile Prepaid Broadband, no credit balance necessary to continue surfing, and so long as you subscribe before credit expiry, you can continue surfing after expiry for the remainder of the subscription term

Different rules apply to U Mobile's UMI - believe that case is more like DiGi's practice.

For Unllimited Mobile Internet 18 or 28, no cannot:

What is Unlimited Mobile Internet?
Unlimited Mobile Internet is a prepaid subscription service for internet on your mobile phones.

Available in both RM18 and RM28. Both plan is valid for 30 days. Your USIM must remain active in order to enjoy this bundle.

For U Broadband, yes can:

Will I be able to use U Broadband if my credit validity has expired?
If your credit validity has expired, you will still be able to use U Broadband until the U Broadband validity expires.

DiGi will deduct RM30 from your main credit for the SuperLongLife subscription, so you cannot use the RM30 for anything else.

Agreed. 600MB/RM30/30 days suits me. Hope DiGi stick with that.

Just be aware that under Prepaid Smart Plan there is no unlimited internet. Reach the quota of 600MB before the 30 days expire and your data access will be barred until you reload.

still dissecting the plan in my laboratory, details here

call rate very complicated one (starts cheap, then gets more expensive the longer you call...)

good point, 4 non-DiGi FnF number now get a lower sms rate of 06 sen

basic sms rate is 08 (same as Easy plan)

includes the new RM5/5 days/200MB data option (same as New Easy plan)

note: grace period reduced from 90 days to 75 days for this plan

SuperLongLife still available on this plan - RM30 for 365 days validity

Gentle reminder

On the new plan, a 30 second call will cost more than under

DiGi Old Best

DiGi Easy

U Mobile prepaid

New Hotlink plan

New DiGi Best vs U Mobile Prepaid

Ignoring FnF, I calculated the break even point for normal calls is at 7 minutes.

A 7-minute call will cost the same under both plans, RM1.26.

After that, U Mobile will be cheaper since it is 18 sen vs 20 sen, plus U Mobile charges in 30-second block compared to DiGi's 60-second block.

I wonder if the new Best will encourage long callers to keep hanging up and calling back every 2 minutes??

Actually, 26 sen per call buys 2 minutes 10 seconds. That is cheaper that 20 sen per minute.

I agree there are better plans for longer calls. It's kinda strange that DiGi have three prepaid plans and with this change none is good for long calls (apart from the Easy free calls which is confined to three DiGi numbers). Perhaps DiGi realized that calling is going out of fashion among their younger prepaid users?

I really dunno what is DiGi's game these days, certainly not customer convenience. It's also impossible to switch between any of the three current prepaid plans. I've been at war with DiGi on that one for over two years.
