QUOTE(Hico @ Feb 3 2015, 10:53 PM) how does this friendi's validity calculated? base on the amount reload? what is the 1 call= 30 days mean? every topup, including RM3 will extend your validity to 30 days. every call & sms you make, your validity will extend to 30 days. So as long as there is credit in your phone and u keep using to make calls, sms or surf the net, your validity will remain for long time..

For friendi the attractive plan is 1.5gb for only rm23 because when u topup rm20 and above can get free rm5

Just need your full name, ic number which is the same as u registered with your current number and your full addrress.. The charge will be rm5 for the sim and rm3 for the postage. Total will be only rm8.. Your number must also be active during the port out period and your credit inside is not transferable..max days will be 5 days process but usually will take 2-3 days..

Bonus data is valid for: Daily — 1 day | Weekly — 3 days | 10 days — 5 days | 2 weeks — 5 days | Monthly — 7 days Bonus data will be used first as in their t&c http://www.friendimobile.my/terms-and-cond...s-and-condtionsUnder Data Renewal 3.3 Hope this answers your question..

Frendi doesn't have mms/voicemail, thats the main difference with other brands in terms of services. I think Frendi/Tron don't have roaming as well.
It also doesn't have a a 1yr plan, you have to keep making sms/calls or use the data connection to extend the validity every 30 days.

Yup..thats one of the drawbacks of being a new telco New #hotlink plan also no 1 year plan and also digi easy plan..but as long as u have credit inside n u make call or sms before the validity expire, u can easily extend it to 30 days, no need to topup
