That's the idea. But bear in mind that when you port, it will take a few days for the numbers to be fully ported. Plus, you need to fork out registration charges, deposit charge for new telco.. so it's not that cheap to port...

I will stay with maxis at the moment. Their postpaid service is quite good and reliable.

Digi , I might consider if they have 3G video calls, etc.

Celcom - NEVER



Good news guys - quickly subscribe to U-mobile get their 018 - 88888 XXX number than port it to maxis/digi.

same number.

I think Digi will be very aggresive in the upcoming months after they launch their 3G service. They sure want to pancing maxis numbers.

any data to support people have been switching to DIgi from maxis, or is it just hearsay nia?

maxis service is good wat..

yes, Digi and Celcom MMS is free between family lines.

Dunno why maxis no offer free MMS...

It depends. If she calls maxis number most of the time, then it makes more sense to stay with maxis.

celcom executive plan will be a nice plan for aunties and uncles who talk a lot. They could not be bothered with sms / 3G / mms.

again, look at your contact lists and coverage of each telco.

Then, choose


1. Prepaid - purchase the 365 validity either with celcom/digi/maxis depending on your contact list/coverage

2. Supplementary to a Principal Postpaid -
a) maxis RM30 with credit sharing
b) celcom RM5 but expensive call rate and sms charge
c) Digi RM30 - average sms/call charges but no credit sharing.

Frankly, I would go for prepaid if I were you since you only use RM20 a month.

A principal postpaid is not worth it for you.

yes can switch from Maxis postpaid to any other telco prepaid. Make sure you settle your bills first, and remember to follow up on the deposit.

Prepaid, the cheaper ones will be Hotlink and Digi Prepaid. If your contact a lot of maxis numbers, then go to Hotlink. Consider Digi prepaid if you sms a lot to other network.

actually all telco the same, each have their good and bad, but generally they are all good in terms of service and coverage. The only difference is the rates and the amount of saving you will get from each telco.

Maybe 10 years ago I will say Digi coverage sucks, but not now. It's really hard to tell which is the best now.

why so quiet now MNP? Not popular anymore?

Hi all,

Currently I am the Maxis principal line with 3 supplementary lines under me.

I want to port all these 4 numbers to Celcom as supplementary lines to existing Celcom principal postpaid line.

How do I go about this?

The problem with supplementary lines is that they are tied to the principal's name. So you need to change the ownership of that line to that person.

Simplest way is to convert that supplementary line to hotlink and change the ownership of the line to him. I was told it costs RM25 and he has to wait a few days for system to truly register the line under his name.

After that, he can go to Digi and port in.

I was told the change of ownership takes a 'few days' to fully register in Maxis system. Is that true? I was advised to wait for a few days before porting in to other telco in order to avoid problem with ownership of the number during MNP.

Can anyone verify this?

Assuming your digi smart plan is under the same name,yes.

But you need to convert your supplementary line to hotlink - RM25 service charge with 39 cents preloaded credit only. From there, you can port that number to any telco, postpaid or prepaid.
