cheapest way is u assign the TAC number to one of your close relatives. when ever u want to use TAC the bank will sms to your relative. then thru viber, whatsapp or such he sends the code to you for verification. done.

Hi,

I was wondering which telco has the cheapest solution to keep a number alive.

I am moving abroad and would still like to be able to receive sms on my Malaysian telco.

For internet banking I also need to be able to receive TAC sms.

Do any of you know the best solution?

I guess I have the following requirements:

- Able to receive sms abroad
- Able to top-up via internet banking to keep the number alive
- Able to top-up for more than a month, so I do not have to top-up that often and still able to keep the number alive
- Able to top-up a small amount only, as I am not planning to use the number while abroad, besides to receive sms confirmations and such

I currently have umobile, but paying RM28 a month to keep the number alive is quite a lot of money (yearly) while I am not actually using it.

Perhaps there are alternatives for what I want too?

Thanks

I agree. Old fashioned. With my foreign bank account I have a small verification device that gives out a new code every few seconds. As far as I know perfectly safe, and easy to carry with me during travels or when I am here in Malaysia. But I guess I have to accept what we do have (better than no internet banking at all I guess)...

any update on what's relevant to current's circumstances? i'm moving abroad in 2 months time, and trying to find cheapest way to keep my number? any idea?

Is it confirmed already that the Hotlink 365 is no longer available for exist hotlink (extra) users?

Onexox.

Hey @kidmenot & @ultra_freeze ,

thanks for the replies. I've not used nor heard of OneXOX before and I'm not entirely comfortable using a telco that is not mainstream. I'm worried that the telco might disappear while I am overseas and have no means of porting my number over to another telco. what do you guys think?
