Ok , thanks bro

Bought and try Altel since few days ago...

I found that it has 'big' block for calls and data, 60s per block for call, and 1MB per block for data.
which mean, calling just 1 second will cost you 16 sen,
turning on data to receive or send a whatapps text message will cost you 1MB...
Meaning to say, the 300MB given free data for activation is only worth 300 whatapps text messages...

I contacted Altel through their chat service, they said its my phone setting or background apps problem...

Anyone can check on this? or you have a different experience on their data usage?

as for call, its acceptable. if u want cheaper for short call then can get other telco line with 30s or less call block.

but for data, i think u phone setting got problem.
so far, i've no such issue of using 1mb just for 1 whatsapp messsage. Its much smaller than that.
better check ur phone data setting for any apps.

Nobody told you to turn off data immediately after sending a message. If you did not turn it off 300 message will roughly used about 2MB and of course you have to add on background app using data as well.

You are right, but charging 1 MB per block still kinda costly right, hopefully its just my phone setting problem, anyone know how to solve it...?
need a geek...

Charging 1MB is not costly for data hungry users but it is for frugal user. There's no better solution to this. Almost all of the MVNO used 1MB block for easier calculation and potentially reducing load from their server side.

Just bought Altel sim pack for my kids.

By reloading rm50, we are getting 365d validity. The rm50 credit is good for 365d also rite?

With all the big boys fighting for market share by sweetening the deals, Altel will soon be relegated into oblivion.

Correct. The 365 days validity will be updated in less than 7 days (usually 2-3days) and the RM50 credit is still available until depleted.

Do i have to do anything after topping up rm50 or is it auto extended to 365d?

Coz when i browsed the menu to extend validity, it asks me to pay rm28.

1. Within 30 days of sim activation, perform a single RM50 (or above) topup
2. Wait for the validity to be automatically extended within 2-3 days.
3. No further topup required.
4. You will receive an sms message when the extended validity is updated.
5. Extension of validity starts from the day of the single RM50 topup.

Best of luck.

Nice, thanks!

the best thing is 365 validity, so shame that maxis had removed their 365 validity service. now i want change to altel

good to know there's 365 validity

If 365 days is not enough, come MNP to onexox. 851 days validity
