agreed. I was planning of just using it to receive calls last time, so I never had thought of reloading it and such

Xox 28 months service and coverage ok or not. I got a sim that number is nice and iwant to keep it.

I doubt that you can get a good answer here though

hahaha u all really think that they offer 28 months validity without any t&c ?

check this out http://www.xox.com.my/hopon/

ya really no need to top up, just call out then can stay 28 months, not like last year need to top up every 3 or 6 months best way to keep ur number stay alive

tbh, the 28 months of validity is only to make you stucked with their services since your boss, friends and family ald accustomed with that number, after that then

xox ok or not...hahaha... i think ask here can get faster feedback .... scare after hope to xox company financial not strong then close shop...

idk never tried their services before. If you're scared bout it going bankrupt, you may as well as be scared of friendi, tron going down as well lol. afaik, xox has been around much longer than the other two

I was told the reason U Mobile reduced their prepaid validity is a shortage of phone numbers, due to no new allocation by SKMM.

can explain more..... i not in telco not so understand this .... is that umobile trying to kill those inactive sim so can be release back to market ?

It should be more or less like that. If those who only uses the sim to receive call(aka rarely reload) let their sim expire, then it'll make way to new 'potential customers' that could use it in a more aggressive manner(aka will use more = will reload more = more money)

at least got more numbers for new users to choose, good reason too, since lots foreigners choosing umobile for prepaid broadband and reload 50-100 but just use for 1 or 2 months but the sim active for 6months to 1 year, sure lots numbers hanging

agreed. But some ppl like me still needs long validity for some reasons though

+1 here

@vostro78 - yes, it's a way to recycle the numbers more quickly.

And I hope at least one telco can offer 365 days validity for RM100 top up, as I feel that's a fair compromise for lighter users.

speedtest using XiaoMi HongMi HP dual sim at setia alam yesterday eneving. test mainly want to know how good for china phone , not the umobile




Attached thumbnail(s)

no umobile/maxis/celcom's 4g can't reach that speed la

Sorry, probably a very old and basic question but I can't find the answer:

Is the active period the same as number validity for U-Mob? Eg load $10 can use it 20 days then how long before number dies?

PS: Looks like next post is the answer. Most likely 60 days after last top up?

From the FAQ for the new prepaid plan

What is the lifecycle validity of the new U Prepaid Pack?


The new U Prepaid comes with a 30 days active and 60 days inactive period.


Grace period reduced from 90 days to 60 days for the new plan.

Yup all telco prepaid inactive or passive validity must be 60 days after expired, no doubt

hahah, miss those old days where after half year still can receive call / sms 1...
