Has anyone successfully subscribe for one/two years validity? People are saying this happened after magic sim is launched

Edit: Validity purchase has been enabled

Now go buy gogogo!

They had took it off the shelves ?

Some people comments on xpax fb





Really

Any update on this? Works now? or not?

I think Celcom has stopped 1-year/2-year validity for all their prepaids

I have been monitoring magic sim implementation for the last 2-3 weeks.

Apparently several other issues affecting older xpax plans have cropped up:

a) extended validity is currently so-called "unavailable at the moment"
b) ioxnet for iox is not working properly (ie. read complains of backup quota deducted (CHAT/SOCIAL pack)
c) freebies for older plans such as BDAY bonus is not working for some older xpax users
d) migration issues for some older xpax plans

This led me to believe either one of two is happening:

1. Soft-and-subtle coercion to magic sim is in the works

-or-

2. They did a direct changeover to the new system instead of a parallel run. Someone didn't thought this out properly and messed up.

If reason one is not true then I apologize for the conspiracy theory. If reason two is not true then why are there pissed customers?

Whichever is the reason, it sucks to be on xpax IT team right now.

Still no update on the Extended Validity option for XPAX users?

i think need wait until next year when celcom replace magic plan with new one.

But good thing is each reload gives 1 day now applicable to all prepaid plans, according to their website

So for internet just reload 5 for mon-fri, weekend use wifi

365 option is back in action.
Just bought mine. ^^

Oh, thanks for notification grazy!

how much for 1 yr validity and 2 year validity?

1 year rm30

2 years rm50

After purchase must reload rm30, not before

Previously said must reload in first 6 months, but some say new one must reload in 3 months, or else the validity will be nullified

why pay more? onexox got free 28 months validity

Thanks for the good news!

I bought the rm99 phone that gives 500mb + basic internet without ppu before they introduce magic sim

So yeah, iox 45 min free internet + validity is really worth it

finally ...nearly ported away to dg365..thks for sharing

My elders are using onexox as backup lines. Their validity expires end of next year. Mostly receiving calls and to make some sms, no whatsapp, rare data usage (wifi available at home). Haven't made any topup since their first rm50 topup. Good for these kind of people, I like ..... but data packages really unattractive against the competition. Don't know if my elders will be keeping their onexox past the end of validity.

Me very much like celcom extended validity coupled with social data package. RM20 of data lasts a whole year of whatsapp (lite usage). Onexox cannot beat the total cost of RM100 for the next two years (EXP2 for RM50 + topup RM50 for 2yrs data (deduct RM40 from topup credit + Rm10 balance credit)).

AND finally to be able to renew my extended validity again ! I can rest easy now .....

Three cheers to @grazy for the info !

Thank you celcom ! Thank you celcom ! Thank you celcom !

Same here, I am glad I stay at the old Celcom plan before I decided to port to DiGi for Super Long Life

noted...different people got different need & preference

btw im happy with onexox bcos i got topup free every month with high speed data + passive income every month

how to extended validity in magic sim? cant find in menu. any shortcut sms code? tq

Only way to extend Magic SIM validity is to top up.

EXP1 and EXP2 here is only for the older IOX plan.

to get passive income every month one need become 1xox dealer not user.

user also can get passive income via user get user program

OK if one pays rm50 for 2 yrs validity and then tops up the minimum required rm30 within 3 or 6 months, is it certain that one will get free basic internet for 2 years? Referring to magic sim

This service is not available for magic sim

oh darn it what a shame both magic sim and the u mobile new prepaid plan don't have extended validity so "must" throw rm30 per month to remain active and use free internet (basic).

Yup... not available for magic sim...

Just extend my xpax for another 2 years 2 days ago. RM50.

so i want to enjoy the extended validity from xpax, i need to purchase the regular xpax starter pack, instead of magic sim right?

You can only subscribe to EXP1/2 validity extension with the old XPAX card, but any new registration now can only be subscribed as Magic SIM plan.

You can't get the old XPAX SIM pack from the regular shops as it'll become Magic SIM once registration is done.

appreciate the info given. i've double confirmed with the celcom cs just now. exactly as u've mentioned

how about IoX plan?

the one that gives out free phone?


edit: DAPAT!

oh this is naisss!!!!

thanx for the headups... been trying for the past few months

XOX sucks max...always got problem receiving call.
Going to port out once my 2 year plus validity expired.

Anyway,
i got OLD XPAX and C1M number for sale if anyone interested.

I believe can transfer name at Celcom Center Ampang.
Can meet up for name transfer.

Just curious, but does this mean that if someone has the old XPAX that allows EXP1/2, it can be transferred to another name and yet stay as the same plan? Won't be changed to say, Magic SIM?

well,
i really not sure coz i guess just changing name should not effect the OLD plan.
As stated, NEW registration will auto migrate to Magic SIM.

Changing name is not considered New registration, my guess.
Anyway, no harm asking Celcom Customer or walk in to Ampang Celcom Center.
to me, it like buying the number from old user.

What about migrating away to the plan that has long validity?

Quite odd that Celcom is removing the extend validity for new subscribers of the Magic Sim.

when the launch of Magic Sim, thought that the EXP option will remain, really regret changing it to Magic Sim. Hmm...

Why can't Celcom include that in Magic Sim ?
We are paying for the validity mar... I'm sure it's the Free Internet that conflicts with the validity extension. hmm...

u canot migrate to old plan

Ugh so many hurdles. In that case MNP to other telco plan lah I kinda have my eyes on XOX now and I'm contemplenting to mnp to them once I got bored with Burung Hantu madness

http://www.xox.com.my

Anyone wanna talk me out of this?

Based on https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3725685&hl=, I think Altel would be the best for your choice if you need data + decent validity

after you mnp into xox, say bye bye to mnp as xox is reluctant to release it customer for mnp to others

mnp to onexox...another plan under xox

who said cannot mnp? unless u got contract

afaik, xox got no contract except vip no

somemore can report to skmm if current telco dont want to release ur mnp application

can report one.
so why worries?

i m ex xox user, my experience and no contract

right now i still on X2 plan...is the validity extend 1 year or 2 years still available for old plan? If no more, then i definitely say bye bye to telco which i use their service for more than 12 years alrdy...

They already cancel the rm1 daily internet option and now force low mobile data usage ppl to use other unnecessary expensive plan...last time the rm2 = 100mb prepaid internet also cost me a lot when their outdated and failure system keep deduct my credit until zero, so i not fancy about this new burung hantu thing, some more they change the free basic internet limit to 500mb per month, wth...it is like their previous promotion about this "magic sim" unlimited basic internet was a joke. I found out that they have very poor planning and always change xpax package offer, mostly to worst thg..

Has anyone here recently transferred ownership of an old XPAX plan that allows EXP1/2, and the new owner is allowed to keep the old plan?

Friend has a spare XPAX SIM card and might want to give it up. Thinking that some people want the older XPAX plan (pre-Magic SIM), we wonder if it's better to do a transfer instead of letting it expire.

May I know what XPAX Sim should I buy to use the 1 Year Validity?

old discontinue plan X2, X24, 1malaysia, IOX I dont know if frienz plan have long validity.

AFAIK, the plans that are able to subscribe to long validity are X1 (lite,mid), Blue, X2, Xpax24, IOX, Frenz and Traveller SIM.

Hey guys,

If anyone interested to get an extra RM100 discount off your devices plan, drop me a PM. I've got an offer to share, only for 1 person and he/she must be base in KL/PJ/Subang, so we can meet up for an arrangement. No scam 100% real deal -.-

PM me then we can discuss further, valid only for Celcom new device with plan.

Cheers.

Blue and UOX cannot extend validity already. IOX can. I had tried recently.

Hope that Celcom will allow extend of validity again.

Check your line to see which plan it's on.

I recently helped a friend to renew EXP2, and I think it's an XPAX24.

Mine is Celcom blue.

why u keep blue plan ?

Been using it since 2009, quite oke for me.

call & sms rates not ok for me. me migrate to x2.
but blue got teman 20 and 7 days free call birthday bonus

So this is an old prepaid plan, that you've been keeping active by reloading after Celcom stopped EXP1/2 and only made it for XPAX//24 only?

Ever thought of changing to XPAX24, if allowed, just for EXP2?

fat16
RDoe

Mostly use it for the mobile internet.

I'll change to XPAX24 if there is the 2 year validity.

Thanks.

Actually, I pair my XPAX24 with a Digi Best line in my secondary phone, and use the former for mobile internet and latter for calls, mainly. Primary phone has Hotlink for all purposes, as my private line.

Recently helped a friend extend EXP2 for his XPAX24, doing for 2 more in a few days, then my turn will come after that. Already got my reload vouchers ready.

why not power prepaid from umobile for calls? it is cheaper than digi best and if u set it to 2g then it uses Maxis's network.

I've an old U Mobile plan that's living out its last days as my experience with it lately has been . Digi Best has its other uses (that work!) and I'd rather pay more for something that works, than pay less for something that hardly exists when I need it.

ah okay, DiGi has been working fine lately for me too, although I only use it for backup so not sure if it will still have the issue of suddenly dropping the signal or not

Hi Guys

I try to buy extend validity but unsuccessful. Is it if my current extend validity yet to reach expired then a new extend validity would not able to be subscrided?

I've tried few weeks back and got rejected as well. Received a message that said I've an existing one still active.

Might try again within a week of the expiry.

Tried to help a friend extend EXP2 sent to 28882, but no reply whatsoever.

Have actually topped up to over RM50 a week back, waiting to do this, but realized just now that RM1.50 was mysteriously deducted somewhere during the week.

I'd to make a credit transfer to top up again, but got no reply while trying to extend.

No reply from celcom only means 1 thing..
u cannot extend validity

Did u check with their CS?

Just did it for another XPAX24 plan 3 weeks ago and had no problem.

This is also an XPAX24 plan, unless they've stopped it altogether.

guess they've stopped it now

Not yet, but I think I'll have to, if I still can't do it tomorrow or so.

The existing one expires tomorrow, but when I tried to extend mine 3 weeks back which's expiring end-Jan, I at least got a return message saying my old one is still active.

Not only no respond at all, but to find a missing amount...

If so, I'll have to transfer all the funds out and let it expire altogether. Doubt my friend will bother to MNP as he's a Digi card as well.

previously they did stop. then is back (u did 3 weeks back)

now stop again

Call them n c wat they can offer

Better to contact Celcom to confirm about the extend validity.

Got my friend to check with the Live Chat CS, and was told that EXP1/2 are still available but can only be renewed after the old one has expired.

I'm still a little skeptical since there's no reply at all last night. Will try later and let's hope for the best.

my father still use an very old xpax plan, plan name is "Xmid". Can I help him to migrate to plan that can be extend validity like X2, XPAX24, IOX? or it must be migrate to MAGIC now? Xmid rate is very expensive.

any updates?

managed extend the validity?

Check with CS

Yes, managed to do it, but after a few hours and many tries. You name it, restarted phone, swap SIM card to another phone, then swap back. The simple reply from sending EXP2 to 28882 took a long time.

This "exercise" needs a lot of patience.

But the conclusion is, EXP1/2 is still available today.

wah finally.

congratz

Thank you for all the inputs here.

I'm with Celcom extended validity, if I buy Rm50 5gb data, is the data validity as per my exp2 valid date ?

I don't think it can. The RM50 for 5GB got a validity for a month i assumed ? As depending on the data validity of the data purchase, it will follow that...

The EXP2 is for the validity of your XPAX line alone, any data package you subscribe to has its own expiry date.

Unless, the validity of your EXP2 is left with say, 10 days, while you've a data subscription with 20 days left. I doubt you can continue to use your data package after the line is inactive.

I believe you're referring to MAXUP add-on quota 5GB for RM50. This quota is only applicable after you have subscribed to any internet plan and it follows the subscribed internet plan validity.

For No-Time-Limit internet, you'll have to subscribe to SOCIAL pack (RM10 for 150MB) or CHAT pack (RM5 for 50MB). They are stackable and will last until depleted or your account terminated.

Best of luck.

Wewt, thanks to this thread. My old xpax just bought 1year validity

Noted and thx for sharing ..............

How to subscribe to this plan? currently my celcom is postpaid..

AFAIK:

EXP1 (for 1 year) and EXP2 (for 2 years) are for XPAX24 which I've tried, and not sure what other old plans.

The current Magic SIM plan is the one with daily RM1.

Depends on which plan you have.
