Hmmm .... 2nd sim to make calls with little data ?

Celcom coverage mvno
1. Altel - 2x topup validity, 1year validity, data with extended validity
2. OneXOX - subsidiary of XOX (mvno on mvno), 28months validity
3. Merchantrade - still kicking
4. Tunetalk - 1 year validity, cheap data, rm30 topup free 1gb data
5. ToneExcel - not recommended, expensive across the board (MLM)
6. TonePlus - another toneexcel spinoff
7. XOX - a little extra offering than oneXOX, 28months validity etc

U coverage mvno
1. Friendi - 60days validity extension on any standard usage
2. BuzzMe - another mvno showcase by EA
3. Best Mobile - not recommended, not competitive enough (MLM)

DiGi coverage mvno
1. Tron - still alive
2. SpeakOut - 7-11 brand, shrinking base

Maxis coverage mvno
1. All thrown to the dogs

I don't include U here as U is actually a full telco with aims of joining the big three but is not quite there yet.

So, choose what you like:
- If you'd like one with reasonably good customer service then Altel, Tunetalk, Friendi.
- If you want coverage then its any Celcom mvno.
- If you want it (arguably) real cheap for both calls and data then I'd say Tunetalk.
- If you like long data validity or fast download anytime of the day then its Altel.
- If you like extra long account validity then OneXOX or XOX = 28months
- If you like a bit of everything then I'd say Friendi

And finally, if you just want to park a number with 1 year validity then its Altel or Tunetalk as they both have solid backing and will be around for quite a long time. Celcom have a 38% stake in Tunetalk and a long term spectrum sharing agreement with Altel (Altel is actually a full telco licensee with celcom mvno rollout).

You might want to check with 2x validity for altel there. Top up higher than certain amount doesn't had 2x validity

Just because it's cheap doesn't mean they are bangla. Digi's major stakeholder are telenor group and telenor group major stakeholder are government of norway.
