As a new telco, they have alot of interesting offer at the moment...





Downside is at the moment is they don't have 4G LTE service, no unlimited quota data..

Still..better stick with either celcom..maxis..or digi..

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..

hmm, if i hv RM5 credit and validity till Feb 6, 2015... on Feb 5, 2015 i make a call, will the validity extend another 30 days without any reload/topup? thanks.

why people always looking for LTE ?

yup that is correct...

coz lte almost instant load when opening social app like fb, twitter and instagram..low ping..

better upload speed?

really kenot brain with lte + open social app. i can understand if download big file coz reduce waiting time.

look like social apps already influence our life too much.. IMO a 'lil waitin time never hurt. it's not like opening dat apps is compulsory in ur life like breathing or eating..

btw, are u dis prepaid seller?

yup, got sell...since nobody open thread about this telco in this section i thought i open one..

im thinkin of mnp my hotlink.. can? how bout internet plan? my usage will be on9 for wasap onli, so no nid speed. heavy usage use wifi at home. plan #Hotlink really gooding, but kenot extend validity hold me from changing to dat plan..

Yes can do mnp, internet plan can see at http://www.friendimobile.my/prepaid-mobile#internet-rates

The most can get for 1 month plan is only 1.5gb..no 3gb or 5gb plan
After quota finish got ppu 7sen per mb..unlike #hotlink which have no ppu..
For friendi the attractive plan is 1.5gb for only rm23 because when u topup rm20 and above can get free rm5

wat documents and procedure to mnp? the sim card will post to the user? how much charges?

i used hotlink too. and i seldom use to call or sms and the money inside keep on piling up. and currently hotlink network in my area is not so good too..the validity of this friendi kinda attractive..

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..

man.. ppu.. i thought skmm already ban telco from charging ppu to user?
hmm.. btw got more Q..

- how bout topup? online banking can?
- coverage? call and internet wise..
- how the heck that bonus data work? 1gb free 500mb.. which one use first? or the bonus will be automatically added to a total 1.5gb and can direct use?

still got alot of telco using ppu ...altel, celcom, tunetalk, hotlink before #hotlink plan all ppu..

1. since they are still a new telco, their topup is still not available at cimbclicks/maybank2u. but should be available at most petrol stations, giant and tesco. more info if your nearby shops are selling the topup is available here http://www.friendimobile.my/dealer-locator#dealer-locator

2. coverage same as maxis and umobile.

3. 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-condtions
Under 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

no voicemail/mms is nuthing to me.. heck i happy no voicemail coz dat service is really2 annoying. u call, go into voicemail u're charged. u have voicemail u wanna listen also got charge. wth? mms i think died with the era of social app. why bother pay 50sen per mms when u can send way bigger, better picture/audio/video with those social app?

okay.. i am about 90% convinced to mnp. just wanna ask my fren who prepaid reload agent if he have friendi reload.. wait my pm later~

alright bro...or u can get topup from me, right now offering 5% discount on all frendi topups

U agent ?

yup...
right now got special promo..RM23 for 2GB

Can mnp

yup..can mnp

How to mnp?

Any problem receiving TAC from online banking for FRiENDi?

Need your details info. PM me..

Name:
IC no:
Old Number:
Postal Address:

Hello. No problem with TAC but if you MNP u have to call your bank and inform them that you change telco..or need to reregister again your number at ATM

Thx TS for the great service

Why so hassle?

Can we ask friendimobile worker to do it?

So not so "effortless and hassle-free"

Tried and no prob for TAC receiving from banks! No need to go thru the hassle to notify banks!

Thank you...

Alright..seems like there's no problem with friendi..
might not be the same to other telcos..just a precaution...

Better get DIgi XL RM28 Plan. Better with 1GB Data which you can use Whatsapp and Operma mini it wont count your usage. Plus 400min and 400SMS any network

Extra 500mb valid until 31May
Minutes and SMS only for Digi
250minutes and 250 sms

Please validate your info before posting

Is this promo still available?

Yup..available

Tell me what other operator gives u 2gb for rm23?
Tell me what other operator gives you 60 days validity for each call?
Tell me what other operator gives you 60 days validity for each sms?
Tell me what other operator gives you FREE rm5 for every accumulated rm20 topup value?
Tell me what other operator gives you FREE calls & sms after rm25/rm35 usage?
Tell me what other operator gives you FREE "share a topup"?

Please answer..im waiting for your reply since this is a small operator with no exciting plan..

They recently changed the validity from 30 to 60 days per use

Awesome!

airbag FREE calls & sms after rm25/rm35 usage is for all networks or friendi-friendi only?

this this telco have international roaming ?

no international roaming

I would like say, after i tried all telco, name it Celcom, Maxis, Digi, Umobile, this is the cheapest prepaid i ever tried.

All main telco, with prepaid, i will spent approximately RM50 and above. But with Friendi, i just spent only around RM36 month, thanks to Friendi Airbag feature, after i reached RM24.99 call/sms usage, it will be free until the end of month. Unlike prepaid plan like Umobile, after i used all the free call/sms usage, it will charge u the next call/sms. Need more top up... :-(

Best thing about Friendi, got free airtime for every RM20 top up. 60 days validity every time i call/sms/internet. Their customer service is superb, i received call from their Service Centre few days after i port in to Friendi. That person that called me gave me such a warm welcome for port in from other telco to Friendi and even asked me if i got anything question about Friendi. I ask kaw kaw about all feature in Friendi, that person (she) really answered every question that i asked in a nice proper way. She explained to me until i understand :-)

Don't worry, the Friendi network ride on Umobile/Maxis network. So far, compared to other telco, the network performance is fine. I think i will stay with Friendi for a long time.

how ?
website say 2GB RM48
http://www.friendimobile.my/prepaid-mobile#internet-rates

Hidden menu..
topup rm23 free rm5..total rm28....
buy 1 gb free 1gb

thank you for your feedback...enjoy your stay with friendi

Does this has UMB menu where can easily check expiry date and credit balance? Thanks

Each top up 60 days, does it mean RM10 topup also extend 60 days?

Yes, got ..
*100# for menu
Topup RM5 extend to 60days, topup RM10 also extend 60days..
if you dont want to topup but still got alot of credit inside, just send an sms to anyone and your validity extend to another 60days

Woow, this sounds good. Where do i get the starter pack?

can buy from me rm5 for simpack + rm3 posexpress or rm6 poslaju
or u can find the shop at
http://www.friendimobile.my/dealer-locator#dealer-locator

I see, thanks for the info. Btw could you share the details on the airbag feature? Thank you in advance.


They say nothing about within the same network or not. So it pretty vague to me.

Local calls means All network in Malaysia
If on net means same network, off net means other networks..
so local calls is all network

Right now got offer buy friendi sim + rm20 topup free pos express

Thanks for the reply. I know the on/off net terms but they should at least say "all network" like other telco did to signify that it is for both on and and of net. Otherwise we are on a trial and error basis here.

May I know where is your outlet? Perhaps I could make a visit.

Desa Subang Tel. Centre
NO. 25, JALAN WARUNA AR/U5,
TAMAN DESA SUBANG, SEKSYEN U5
40150 SHAH ALAM SELANGOR

New bundle coming out from friendi ....
2.5GB + Unlimited calls/Unlimited SMS a month for RM55

Unlimited call to ALL network? Is this postpaid?

Where is the link at website?

hidden again?

so curious on how this works.
Please let me know if i understood correctly.

example 1
if i dont take any bundle, so that means i have no data.
then i make calls until i hit 34.99 and the rest will be free, bcoz of Friendi Airbag. Subject to TnC of course.

example 2
I take RM30 More Local Call bundle.
That means for 1 month, i only spend RM30.
I get 250 Mins calls and SMS.

When I exceed 250 mins of calls, I wont be charged, bcoz of Friendi Airbag. So total monthly charge will not exceed RM30

or will it be

RM30 + 24.99 + Friendi Airbag?

Lastly, what is the call charging block? 30 secs? 60 secs?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Not yet officially launch..but its already on the phone menu..

All network..
its prepaid

How long is the data last? 30 day? 7 day?

for the local bundle the data last for 30 days

Hopefully the great features will stay after their # of customers grow esp. 60 days validity ext. per usage!

Not gonna happen. Just look at Umobile.

OMG that was cheap! I'm gonna change soon!

Last time was 30 days, now 60 days..who knows next time become 90 days...
better grab it while it lasts..
this company is international company not like umobile only in malaysia

Yes I'm referring to U Mobile & OCBC Titanium MC

Hope you are right as i am still contemplating whether to get this SIM card. And if i did, i would go for the latest bundle that you mentioned earlier. In the mean time I'm waiting for some other user to take the plunge and get back with own experiences to share.

Why don't you just get a new number for testing before MNP.

what so great about this?

agreed..new telco sure got problem one..even digi till now also got problem haha..sorry mr yellow man

It depends on one's needs.

My take for this Telco and plan:

1. You don't need too much cellular data on average. Of course you can buy the appropriate plan if the need arises.

2. Have cheap plan if you make a lot of calls and sms

3. Long and cheap activation life if you seldom call or use the phone. Mainly for others to call you.

4. Cheap rate for IDD calls & SMS . Can IDD call/sms directly, no need press special number .

5. Convenient & fast online reload

6. Prepaid. (You (telcos) can't charge me more that what I have! . Not that I have any problem with this telco )


Disclaimer : I'm not related to this telco in anyway except being a happy customer thus far.

have u tried? how do u know got problem?

So far, no issue with me after ~2 months of usage and it fits perfectly for my expectation for a prepaid telco

1. No voicemail
2. Got Missed Call Notification SMS
3. Validity extension per usage (1st in Msia) Main reason why I chose FRiENDi
4. Call/sms/internet rates competitive with other prepaid telco
5. Coverage = Maxis / U Mobile

OK certainly there are disadvantages:-

1. Call blog per 60 secs
2. No USSD that can directly see credit balance + expiry date
