I contacted xox, xox prepaid plus seems to be no more for newcomers which means no season pass for cheap data. Due to consolidation of xox and one xox, mnp done after 11th april will get onexox plan. I did not ask whether one can switch plans or not but it is mentioned in xox faq that one can switch plan, from the answer that I received it seems to me it is implied that one cannot switch plan.

Less than a month ago digi also stopped mnp to digi best v1 which offers cheaper sll. Hopefully others dont follow suit, just bought buzzme sim

anybody used tron before?

Just found this, another alternative for anyone looking for cheap data, redone has a new plan called data8. Minimum monthly commitment of rm8 for 500mb data per month which translates to rm96 per year.

This have a contract of 6 months

I'm wondering if the buzzme reward points are redeemed and added to main credit, can it be used to buy data plans ?

I made some calculations about the 3GB smart surf plan. If the 15 reward points is redeemable to main credit then the actual cost for 3GB is way cheaper .....

Does DiGi still have Super Long Life or 365 days validity plan. I hav a Digi no. wif Best Prepaid v4, but I dont seem to find any option of extending d validity. Can anyone teach me how to extend d validity?

you will need minimum credit balance of RM43 to see the 365 days option

Redone Data 8 seems interesting .. I might just have to call them for some clarification since there is a Red Plan 8 and a Data 8.

It is PAYU once the quota have been exhausted.

Not much details on International roaming etc.

Got some info about Redone ..

The differences between the Red Plan RM 8 and the Data8 is just the data. Calls, SMS, MMS, etc all the same, just with Data8, you get the 500MB included.

Data is only 3G but if you get the 2GB bundle, then it can access 4G.
Does not matter to me as my area is mostly on H+ / 3G with Celcom.

Data is PAYU/PPU after the 500MB quota have exhausted unless you are on the bundle.. then it becomes throttled.

International roaming is available and all their calls are Direct Dial only .. no options for cheaper rates like the other telcos that use the *120* Call Back function.

International roaming is not activated by default so you will need to activate it and there will be a deposit.

Credit limit is default at RM 50 .. deposit is needed if you want to increase the credit limit.

For MNP post paid users, to increase credit limit and bypass all these deposits .. you will just need to show the agent your postpaid bill and they will match the Credit Limit and activate your international roaming.

Data8 Looks good for a cheap package.

Came across something when I was re-exploring Buzzme, in their T&C under SIM

8. In the event that a SIM is lost or damaged, the Subscriber may retain his/her existing mobile number by purchasing a new SIM and reloading a minimum of RM50. Remaining credit from lost/damaged SIM will not be refunded.

This is bad .. now I need to relook at the Redone Data8.

Tron valid one year for rm10
Mnp port into xox valid Two years


Damn these 2 good deal if dun wan internet just wanna keep a spare line activated

i am using Friendi, only need 1 call/sms to extend 60 days validity.

rm5 can get 10 years validity

8 sen/sms

haha...
the new rm5 simpack only got rm2 credit..

I did explore the Tron, XOX and Frendi before I went for TuneTalk. I have to agree that these are good choices if you just want to park the line or just to receive calls or SMS.

For Calls TuneTalk is cheaper becoz for the first 2 minutes, it will be 16 cents / minutes but there after 10 cents/ minute... so if you speak for more than 2 minutes, it will be cheaper than the rest.

I will need to explore more since I am considering changing my post paid to Data8 or the other 3 above since Maxis has the best for data in my area.

Any cheapest way for longer telco validity ?
Number no call,sms or even internet. i just want to keep the number.
before this i use Hotlink SOS topup trick, but cant anymore.

If u are on prepaid, just pay about RM30 per annum to keep your line active for one year. I did that for a few years already

Unless you are on the older prepaid plans of Digi or MVNO's

Try Tron Tron Prepaid

Top up RM10 valid 365 days.

They even have bonus extra $ sometimes.

Tron rides on Digi network

Onexox - 850 days will be extended with every topup
