Prepaid - Long Validity - Free/Cheap Data GUIDE
Good for Kids, Parents, In-Laws, Backup

I've been doing some research regarding the cheapest way to get extended validity and at least a slow speed data plan. All with minimal cost. It's an ongoing process so still a lot of ???. In my case it's for my kid who won't be making many calls nor accessing the internet except on wifi but would love to have Whatsapp active constantly. In other words, my criteria is (1) extended validity followed by (2a) slow data plan or a (2b) cheap fast data plan. I'd also like to avoid Data PAYU entirely.

Here's what I have so far. Any additions, suggestions or corrections welcome.

Who is this Guide for? People looking for:
1) Long validity and a free slow speed data plan for minimal expense. Reload and forget once a year.
2) Long validity and a cheap long validity data plan so you don't have to reload every month.
3) Long validity only with no data plan. Good for backup phones. Avoid Data PAYU for this or turn off mobile data.
4) Long validity data only plan. Good for tablets. Coming Soon.

Notes:
- Voice/SMS Rates are off-net.
- Voice calls are listed for 1 min calls. Actual charging blocks varies.
- Plans and rates change constantly so always double check.
- Only plans with voice are listed. Might add data only plans later.

Digi New Best v1 Prepaid (I went with this)
Validity 365 days - Super Long Life 38/yr (*128*1*7# Min RM43 credit to see option. )

I was looking at this a while back too.
The previous Hotlink and XPAX have validity but not the current #Hotlink and Magic SIM. Digi still have it the last time I checked.

My best bet now is with Tune Talk as I am not familiar with the other MVNO as mentioned and there are more too.

The doubts I have with the rest of the MVNO is how long will they be around. And will you be able to MNP out before/when they go bust.

I would love to see how this discussion goes. Should be interesting.

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about that too. What happens if it shuts down? Can we still MNP to another telco?

Depends on what you're looking for. For me currently, I'm looking at either Buzzme or Digi. What I want is the cheapest upkeep cost, long validity and always-on Whatsapp (ie: any data even low speed is OK).

The statements below is based on the assumption that the intended user is a passive user (one who requires a line for receiving calls with minimum out calls/sms/data).

XOX offers the same 28 months validity plus the option for 1 year extended validity @ RM25 (no further topup required).

OneXOX does not have 1year extended validity option. The only way to extend after the 28 months is by reloading (and also user-get-user can work too but what if all your referrals are also passive user? ). Another way is to mnp out to another and back in the next day ..... smile.gif

It is impossible to reach the 28 months validity/ expired bcos the validity will be extended with every topup.

On the contrary, it is very much possible to have the 28 moths validity expires by way of :

1. Parking a number and forget about it for the next 28 months
2. Passive users who requires a number just for receving call and sms ( mnp to get rm5 preloaded credit and 28 months validity = cheap!)

Doesn't oneXOX promotes maximum savings? The two above is already substantial savings for some ..... smile.gif

Tron
Validity 365 days with a min reload RM10
Internet: Daily RM1 30MB,Weekly RM5 150MB,Monthly RM10 200MB Unlimited
*Note - unlimited @ 32kbps after quota
**TnC - unlimited means confined to the amount of data subscribed i.e. 30MB, 150MB, 200MB
Rates: 20/min 10/sms
Data PAYU: 10sen/MB
***Note - Normally one session of PAYU has 3 connection, thus it is more like 30sen/MB. DIGI standard.
Friends & Family:
1st 10 seconds FREE (On net only)
On-Net (12 lines) 10 cents / Minute
Off-Net (3 lines) 16 cents / Minute
Port-In Charges: Top-up RM30 Free admin fee only, otherwise RM10 admin fee and RM9 for a new Tron SIM card.
Offers: Seasonable promotion (Topup RM100, free RM25, free 150min on-net). Every few months the promotion changes, but fundamentally they are the same.

http://www.tron.com.my/tron-lite-sim/rates/
http://www.tron.com.my/tron-lite-sim/whats-new/


The plan may not be better than some mentioned here. But it offers flexibility. Daily, weekly, monthly plan on top of 365 validity, plus free calls and first 10seconds free if Friends and Family. The plan is superb if you need two of them, one needs monthly plan, the second totally just for receiving calls and making those 10 second calls to the first number. Pay RM100, get RM125 can use one year internet at RM10 monthly (200MB 3G speed +200MB @32kbps). Hope the information helps. As mentioned, there is no one plan better than all the rest in all aspects.

Extra:
Can talk time transfer with just 50sen total costs.
Can totally disable PAYU by writing to TRON to fully disable Internet but then cannot subscribe to any plans and thus no internet in case of emergency.

Indeed, even after the recent changes to rates, they are exactly the same. Probably the only difference I can see from the web sites are the Top Up Promotions, and the Reload channels (7 Eleven)

Updated 1st post with some usage examples:

Digi New Best v1 Prepaid
Load RM50 - SLL RM38 - IDDC RM10 = RM2 Credit (1 yr validity & 12GB/year 64kbps internet)

BuzzMe
Load RM50 - V365 RM38 - 200mb Data RM5 = RM7 Credit (1 yr validity & 200mb/year)
Load RM70 - V365 RM38 - 1GB Data RM25 = RM7 Credit (1 yr validity & 1GB/year)

TuneTalk
Load RM140 - V365 RM28 - Weekly Data RM104 = RM8 Credit (1 yr validity & 5.2GB/year)
(Weekly data does not stack so will have to purchase every week)

Altel Real
Example: Load RM130 - V365#1 RM28 - Quarterly Data RM100 + Reload V365#2 RM30 = RM32 Credit (1 yr validity & 4GB/year)

Some forum members have experienced that the credit validity follows the data validity or whichever is longer, if that's true then we don't need to purchase V365:
Example: Load RM110 - Quarterly Data RM100 = RM10 Credit (1 yr validity & 4GB/year)

Reading the Altel FAQ.. the quarterly is a current data promotion, extended from 30 days to 90 days for the 1GB.
If this promotions becomes permanent, then you will have the option of 1GB or 2GB data plan. But that would mean topping up data every quarterly if V365 is not added.

Wonder how long has the 1GB for 90days have been going on for ?

Do you know Altel is riding on which backbone ? Digi, Celcom or Maxis ?

I have horrible signal and service with Digi so I am trying to avoid them totally, if possible.

.....

As fat16 already mentioned, Altel is on Celcom 2G/3G/4G and in some areas their own 4G.

I'm on Altel purely for data backup and i'm satisfied with it (so far very good). So, I topup exactly RM25 via pinless/easyreload for subscribing 1gb data plan. No need for altel365. The validity for rm25 topup is 45days, subscribing 1gb data plan will extend the validity to 90days (yes, for both credit and data validity).

Best of luck.

Prepaid - Long Validity - Free/Cheap Data GUIDE
Good for Kids, Parents, In-Laws, Backup

I've been doing some research regarding the cheapest way to get extended validity and at least a slow speed data plan. All with minimal cost. It's an ongoing process so still a lot of ???. In my case it's for my kid who won't be making many calls nor accessing the internet except on wifi but would love to have Whatsapp active constantly. In other words, my criteria is (1) extended validity followed by (2a) slow data plan or a (2b) cheap fast data plan. I'd also like to avoid Data PAYU entirely.

Here's what I have so far. Any additions, suggestions or corrections welcome.

Who is this Guide for? People looking for:
1) Long validity and a free slow speed data plan for minimal expense. Reload and forget once a year.
2) Long validity and a cheap long validity data plan so you don't have to reload every month.
3) Long validity only with no data plan. Good for backup phones. Avoid Data PAYU for this or turn off mobile data.
4) Long validity data only plan. Good for tablets. Coming Soon.

Notes:
- Voice/SMS Rates are off-net.
- Voice calls are listed for 1 min calls. Actual charging blocks varies.
- Plans and rates change constantly so always double check.
- Only plans with voice are listed. Might add data only plans later.

Altel Real
Validity 365 days RM28/yr (Must reload RM30 in first 6 mths of service or validity is cancelled after 6 months)
Internet: RM100/yr (90 days 1GB for RM 25 x 4)
Rates: 16/min 5/sms
Data PAYU: 5/MB
Friends & Family: 8 @ 8/min 2/sms
Port-In Charges: ???
Offers: Validity 365 days for first single reload of RM50++ within 30 days of activation
Example: Load RM130 - V365#1 RM28 - Quarterly Data RM100 + Reload V365#2 RM30 = RM32 Credit (1 yr validity & 4GB/year)
Some forum members have experienced that the credit validity follows the data validity or whichever is longer, if that's true then we don't need to purchase V365:
Example: Load RM110 - Quarterly Data RM100 = RM10 Credit (1 yr validity & 4GB/year)

Do you know Altel is riding on which backbone ? Digi, Celcom or Maxis ?
.....

As fat16 already mentioned, Altel is on Celcom 2G/3G/4G and in some areas their own 4G.

I'm on Altel purely for data backup and i'm satisfied with it (so far very good). So, I topup exactly RM25 via pinless/easyreload for subscribing 1gb data plan. No need for altel365. The validity for rm25 topup is 45days, subscribing 1gb data plan will extend the validity to 90days (yes, for both credit and data validity).

Best of luck.
*
Yup! Exactly as you said. I just called up their CS at this hour, still open and fast in getting thru to operator.

1GB valid for 90 days, balance will be burned. So we are looking at RM25/ 3months = RM8.33 / 333MB /month laugh.gif
or 2GB valid for 90 days, RM42 / 3months = RM14 / 666MB /month rclxms.gif

No need to keep account active to enjoy the data icon_rolleyes.gif
I think umoble UMI needs to keep account active to use the data? like other telcos.

The altel365 is upon 1st reload of rm50 in 1 single receipt to extend to 365 days from the day of reload. Then the RM50 credit can be used to buy data, calls, sms. It is not burned to extend validity like some telco. It's min RM53 in total with GST.

When MNP got free 300MB data.

Planning to MNP my xpax over to them soon. flex.gif

Ultimately decided to go DiGi. Went to do my MNP from Hotlink to Best Prepaid at a DiGi Store on Jan 31. The entire process was exceptionally fast. I was in and out in 10 mins. The actual process took less than 3 mins. Quite impressed with their efficiency.

I just gave the nice woman my number and IC. Told them my requirements. Heard some keyboard sounds and before she could finish explaining to me that I'll need to reply to the MNP SMS, the SMS already arrived on the phone. Collected my new SIM card from her. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the process to complete. Total cost: RM0.

Update: MNP completed sometime in the early evening of Jan 1. Just over 24 hrs.
Reloaded RM50
Purchased Super Long Life for 1 year validity - RM38
IDD Internet Club for always-on Whatsapp - RM10
Music Freedom for streaming from Spotify - RM0

Still left 11.51 credit. Dunno why the RM10 for Internet Club not deducted.

One more thing.

Can this free 64kbps mobile Internet of IDD Internet Club be used for other than social media apps like Whatsapp or Wechat? Like Waze or UBER?

You can use it for anything but it will be incredibly slow. Loading Google.com takes about 2 mins though searches come up quite quickly after that, sans images. Uber might be usable. Waze no, Waze chokes even on EDGE.

I use Waze a lot.

I don't think I should subscribe to the IDD Internet Club for the free 64kbps speed.

I'll go for PAYU at 5sen/MB.

I was testing the speed at a food court earlier. Just 1 bar signal there and Speedtest was giving me around 29kbps. Now back at home and testing again and am getting much better speeds. I'll post some test results later.

I have to admit I'm confused about the results. I'm subscribed to DiGi's IDD Internet Club which is supposed to have 64kbps speed cap but I'm getting speeds up to 6mbps.

At first I thought, maybe it's using PAYU instead of IDD Club so I checked the IDD Club quota and it's going down. PAYU quota is not moving at all and my credit is still the same. I also see the data usage being registered on mydigi. Also checked that I don't have data freebies.

Have a look & tell me what you think?

Update: I think I know why. Local sites aren't capped, I think. I did a speedtest to Singtel and it was about 64kbps.
Update2: Scratch that. It seems that DiGi is not capping Speedtest's local servers. Everything else is probably capped at 64k.
Update3: Music streaming is OK for Spotify, iTunes Radio & MyFM.

Tests performed using Ookla Speedtest 3.6.1 on an iPhone 4 (No LTE, just 3G).

Tune Talk looks the best for me since it is mainly for calls backup and if I want data, I can subscribe and it will expire, rather than auto re-subscribe. Wish XPAX IOX in the past have this option. Most of them are auto re-subscribe. International roaming too which is a good option.

Altel looks good for data but with the speech SMS and all. It looks funny. Personal perspective.

Now need to look for an app for schedule Data Off smile.gif

I've just recalled the reason for this. For the first month of subscription, IDD Internet club has idk how many of mb of high speed internet for 2 days, and it is only for the first month of subscription.

That's what I thought at first so I went checking for any indication of free hi-speed data in the USSD but couldn't find any. Anyway it's more than 2 days now so I will speedtest again and see if there's any change.

If your usage is minimal, then the DiGi plan mentioned is good. If you use around 300 to 500mb per month then you can consider altel, tunetalk, xox. If 1gb monthly then umobile.

I believe you may have got it mixed up ...

Altel's data plans does not auto renew. Altel offers only standalone data plans.

Tunetalk's data plans will auto renew. Tunetalk offers both pure data-tatata plans and cun data plans (data+calls+sms).

It should be. That's where I first came across IDD Internet Club. Couldn't find any info on Digi's website other than this not very informative page: http://new.digi.com.my/cs/Satellite/ecomm_..._Best_Club_Indo

Anyway did speedtest again and still giving hi-speeds. I guess it's safe to conclude that the Malaysian speedtest servers are not speed-capped to 64kbps.

I subscribed to IDD Internet Club this morning, based on the review below that Waze is usable on a 64kbps mobile data connection.

Funny, they didn't deduct the one-time subscription fee of RM10 from my credit balance.

The validity of the IDDIC is up to 22/1/2026 (ten years) as shown on MyDigi account. laugh.gif

When I do an Ookla Speedtest, it still shows 18Mbps download and 4Mbps upload. My smartphone has an LTE signal with full-bar.

Yes, I tested out Waze, and found that it is indeed usable (within KL). Never missed a turn. laugh.gif

I can also do Maybank2U, MyTeksi and UBER, all no problema at all.

Whatsapp messaging and push notifications are near instantaneous.

Whatsapp defaulted to not load videos on mobile data connections, which is fine.

It is better than I expected. And all these capabilities on my smartphone for free. rclxm9.gif

ii) u can buy the digi best prepaid card from digi center (normally cheaper, around RM8), Digi dealer sell more expensive
iii) need IC when buying prepaid card. For IDD club, after u activated the new sim card, you need to key in the codes to active 365 validity and IDD club
iv) after subscribe to IDD club, limit is 1GB, i don't think you will get charged after exceed this limit (pls double check)

Funny, they didn't deduct the one-time subscription fee of RM10 from my credit balance.

The validity of the IDDIC is up to 22/1/2026 (ten years) as shown on MyDigi account. laugh.gif

...

It is better than I expected. And all these capabilities on my smartphone for free.  rclxm9.gif
Yeah, it's pretty good isn't it. Same for me that the RM10 wasn't deducted from my credit. Mine is also valid for 10yrs.

I think it's great. My daughter loves it. She has everything she needs. And I don't have to worry about reloading every month.

Thx TS! was searching for the best prepaid card for my kid's phone.
Glad that found your thread, saved me (and others) few hours of works!
Definitely will go for the Digi New Best v1 Prepaid
Thanks

You're welcome. Glad you found it useful. Very economical plan for a young kid's phone. Basic data & validity for a whole year for less than RM40. To be honest I find it unbelievable that DiGi even allows such a combo to exist.

With the IDD Internet Club subscription, I can do GPS navigation, online banking transactions, hail a cab and Whatsapp, for free.

That is more than 80% of the things I do on a smartphone. What more do I want? biggrin.gif

No problem lah. Always good to ask if you're not sure. Anyway for this IDDIC, it's not possible to get any info from the DiGi website. Only got one page with little info and a few posts from their forum and I couldn't find the TnC document for it. It's like a secret plan that DiGi don't want you to subscribe to.

If you already have a prepaid card, you can also port-in. If you port-in at a DiGi Centre, it's free. No charges for sim card, nothing at all. Don't even need to topup. In fact Digi gives you RM0.01 credit with your new SIM card. LOL.

You'll need at least RM43 in credit for the Super Long Life option to show up in the USSD menu.

And of course make sure it's DiGi Best and not DiGi Smart Prepaid.

One more use case scenario would be for GPS trackers. How much are companies charging for one year? About 300-500? Granted that includes their website and database backend.

  • Backup phone
  • Personal GPS Trackers
  • Vehicle GPS Trackers
  • Pet GPS Trackers
  • Backup data link to router. (https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2040480&view=findpost&p=78491727)

if u have transport company or kereta sewa bisnes better go with gps tracking company service. proffesional service not cheap yo. they monitor the tracking for you.

if u diy type or just have a little thing to track, ori and good gred A clone traker brand come free with 1 year platform tracking service. gps tracker use too little data. 100mb last for few month.

Anyway did speedtest again and still giving hi-speeds. I guess it's safe to conclude that the Malaysian speedtest servers are not speed-capped to 64kbps.

The free 1.5GB Internet given upon top up of RM30 follows its own 30-day validity period, separate from the SLL validity period.

The entitlement, however, is not automatic.

You need to manually redeem the free 1.5GB Internet using USSD code *888*1# within 3 days after topping up.

Thanks for the info on the validity. Have you tried to redeem *888*1# on a phone with IDDIC?

Update
Curiosity killed the cat or in this case RM10 from my bank account. Result:

It works, can redeem. rclxm9.gif Now my daughter has 300MB to use over CNY. She'll be happy about that though she'll probably use it all up in 2 days.

soonwai, I have reconfirmed with Digi Helpline that the 1.5GB Free Internet that comes with 30-day validity upon a RM30 reload is applicable to IDDIC subscribers as well.

Just do a *888*1# after the reload.

hey, umobile 1gb is forever as long as you top up rm30

this digi 1.5gb, is it forever as well?~

didn't see any word regarding this

OK
now i search their page
this is what they write:

2. Promotion:
2.1. This Promotion commences on 1st February 2016 until further notice is (“Promotion Period). Digi however reserves the right to extend Promotion Period without prior written notice.

the link to it: http://new.digi.com.my/Page/tnc/default/tnc_freeinternet

well, it doesnt say forever, but i guess it will be anyway beause this promotion is to tackle umobile, if not umobile wins in this case

Thanks for digging up the info from their TnC. "until further notice" can mean anything but hopefully it'll remain until something better comes along.

Why don't they just make it auto instead of having to redeem? Unfair to those who miss out because they not aware of it or didn't read the SMS recvd after the reload.

1) they can save quota for those who are not aware of the promotion
2) user will b kiasu and feel that they managed to redeem something (like supermarket)
3) digi can collect users info( mean user at which age will redeem/ aware, and etc for their survey so they can know what promotion next), although the free data is so obviously copy from telco u)
4) perhaps the ussd code to redeem is easier/faster/ less cost than telco u that permanent ly configure inside user/ plan profile, which the cost is proposed by vendor.

Sometimes, we must think like their marketing. Not by user
So we can know what is their way to trick users....

No worries there.

If you exceed the free IDDIC quota of 1GB per month, only then will it fallback to PAYU at 5sen per MB (up to max of RM3 per day).

At first I thought only 10 also but I MNP on 31 Dec, active on Jan 1 2016, I still have 10 + 10 on MyDigi website. I've successfully added numbers to both digi and non-digi. Currently I have 3 Digi numbers and it says 7/10 slots available. 4 non-Digi numbers and 6/10 available. Let's see what happens when my total of both reaches 10.

Very, very good. I guess DiGi being generous. If you look at their FAQ here: https://new.digi.com.my/prepaid-plans
This is what it says.

No one discuss about Hotlink Tablet Plan?
RM30 for SimPack come with 1GB Data for 365 days.

After that:
RM25 - 1GB - 60 days
RM45 - 2GB - 365 days

Too bad, this simcard is just only for tablet, meaning that cannot make any calls even SMS flex.gif

Foreigners have to get the Traveller's SIM I think.. unless you want to register some SIM for them.

I know TuneTalk and Hotlink have Traveller's SIM.

I have been on Hotlink Tablet Plan for a few months now. Details as below :

Hotlink Tablet Plan:

Where to get : Only from Maxis Centers. No dealers carry them.

SimPack Price: RM30 - Discount from RM 60.

Data :1GB Data. (No PAYU. No data access once quota is used up).

Roaming : NIL.

Speed : 4G/3G.

Validity : 365 days upon SIM activation (For 1st year even if Data have been used up. There after, follows Top Up validity.).


Top Up options once initial 1GB Data used up:

RM25 - 1GB - Validity : 60 days.

RM45 - 2GB - Validity : 365 days.

Calls: NIL.
SMS: NIL.
MMS: NIL.

Every Hotlink Tablet SIM comes with a mobile number but that is just to identify the SIM and account.

Since there is no USSD commands via SMS, you will need to download the Hotlink RED app.

Hotlink RED app functions: (*App can only function when SIM is installed in Tablet or Cellphone.)

1) Activate SIM for first use.
2) Check Balance of Data.
3) Validity.
4) Top Up.

*Note: Wifi must be turn off and must be on Hotlink/Maxis network to use the Hotlink RED app. It is free to use and does not count towards your data.

The only minor inconvenience of this plan is Top Up.

1) Top Up via Hotlink RED app : No issues.

2) Top Up at top up centres : There is no specific Top Up for Tablet plan so you have to top up RM 60 for the RM 45 2GB option. The balance will remain with the account as informed by Hotlink.

3) Top Up via Maxis Website : Same issue as no 2).


Gadget to use with :

1) Tablet.
2) Dual SIM cellphones.
3) MiFi devices. - * Cannot access Hotlink RED app with MiFi devices.

This plan will work well if you have a Dual SIM phone or a MiFi device. It works as I am using it on my 3G MiFi device without issues. I use the Hotlink Tablet SIM as a back up when my cellphone hotspot is acting up.

foreign visitors can register prepaid sims using their passport. one draw back is that they have to pay gst when reloading.

Currently oversea 90% of the time, any good plan for such scenario?

1. Require roaming, need TAC for banking
2. Don't need too much data, usually only back to Msia on weekends don't think even touch 500MB a month.

Alternative will sign up Celcom supplementary line RM30/month.

P/S: no U-mobile

just one post above you. 28 months validity. no data roaming per pay use. no risk of losing credits when you turn on the phone just to receive tac.

umobile can be a good choice for data if you come home once a while. after you get the free 1gb per month activated, you just need to reload rm5 to make you number active and start using data.

i wouldn't spend rm30 per month if i were you.

The plan was that my partner is gona use P50 (postpaid) & i will sub in under her for RM10 only. Problem is she tried this for a month and the reception line for her just suck. Doesn't matter even if data is unlimited if there is no line. Actually to me which telco doesn't really matter as I am with her most of the time when i am back and we have Unifi at home.

For Umobile, say i reload RM10 it is only valid for 10 days. This means i would not be able to make calls after Day 10 but Data is on-going (1gb for 30 days) & still able to receive SMS or calls while im oversea?

after credit validity has expired, your number will enter a grace period of 60 days. during this time, you wont be able to use data, and if you are overseas, you should not be able to receive calls as they would incur charges for roaming but fine with sms as incoming sms are free.

and if possible, set your tac delivery to your overseas number. i find it very risky to use malaysian prepaid sims abroad as the operators will find ways to drain your credit dry.

Just ported a Umobile Prepaid number to DiGi New Best v1 at DiGi Centre. Made very sure that is v1 & not v2. Took a bit longer due to a glitch but it's still possible.

Weds 2nd: reloaded umobile RM5 to make line active. Request MNP at DiGi Centre. Got 'In Progress' SMS.
Thurs: Got Reject SMS from Umobile due to line inactive. Called UMobile to check. Called DiGi too.
Sat: Received MNP successful SMS.

As usual got 1sen credit with DiGi, subscribed IDDIC (free), reloaded RM50, subscribed SLL (RM38). Claimed *888* 1.5GB.

Thanks for the information. I really need a cheap provider as I rarely use my phone to call or sms, now with whatsapp and such many things can be done over the internet.

I have also decided on getting digi v1 then getting sll and free internet. Has anybody tried buying credit to extend activation and get free fast internet then sell the credit to somebody through talktime transfer? If it works then that is one way to get fast internet and extend activation on the cheap although more hassle.

I meant to say as an alternative to sll and free but slow internet. Since digi offers free high speed internet when you topup and talktime transfer, you can buy credit simply to extend the activation period and to get high speed internet and then sell the credit to somebody. Although the trouble you go through may not be worth it unless you have friends on digi who are actively using their credit. I wanted to know if it really works, if it does then this is an alternative for those on v2.

I just tried accessing "Talktime Transfer" (*128*1*7*1#) and it said "...account is not eligible...". I'm on New Best v1 with SLL & IDDIC.

Also tried "International Talktime Transfer" (*128*1*7*1#) and it went on to a country selection menu. Maybe this one works. From here if you select 1. Indonesia, it proceeds to ask you for a +62 number.

Do you know what happens after the 28 months? I couldn't find any info on their website for extended validity.
The statements below is based on the assumption that the intended user is a passive user (one who requires a line for receiving calls with minimum out calls/sms/data).

XOX offers the same 28 months validity plus the option for 1 year extended validity @ RM25 (no further topup required).

OneXOX does not have 1year extended validity option. The only way to extend after the 28 months is by reloading (and also user-get-user can work too but what if all your referrals are also passive user? ). Another way is to mnp out to another and back in the next day ..... smile.gif

My friend wanted to MNP to XOX cos 28months validity.

Xox website info on MNP is misleading.
Info given by dealer is, Dealer cannot MNP. Only XOX centres can.
Anyone know where/how to MNP to XOX?

For making VOIP calls over 64kbps, I'm trying out the following apps. Some seems to work.

Right now, I'm testing with one phone on wifi in front of the TV as audio source calling another phone on DiGi 64kbps. Tomorrow will try with an actual conversation with a real person.

Facebook Messenger - Can't connect
ooVoo - Works, quality ???
vSee - Works (turn off video), quality ???
fring - Can't connect
mumble - Works, will need own server for privacy
Ventrilo - untested, will need own server
Skype - untested
Whatsapp - untested
Line -
Wechat -
Viber -
Chaton -
Kakaotalk -
Yahoo Messenger -
Facetime Audio - Unable to test, iPhone 4 does not support Facetime Audio over data
Google Hangouts -
UberConference -

I just tried accessing "Talktime Transfer" (*128*1*7*1#) and it said "...account is not eligible...". I'm on New Best v1 with SLL & IDDIC.

Also tried "International Talktime Transfer" (*128*1*7*1#) and it went on to a country selection menu. Maybe this one works. From here if you select 1. Indonesia, it proceeds to ask you for a +62 number.

Thanks for checking that out. I went to digi center and asked which prepaid pack can use talktime transfer, they said only prepaid best pack. Since it is not working on best v1, I guess one has to subscribe to best v2 to get talktime transfer. I also asked to mnp my number to digi v1 but they said it is not available anymore, only to best v2 or smart prepaid pack.

That's bad news. May I ask which Digi Centre? I did mine at C180, Cheras Selatan last Weds 2 Mar and at that time, New Best v1 was still available.

You can always ask digilife here to do the MNP for you.

I was wrong, I couldn't access Talktime Transfer because I didn't have enough credit. See here: http://new.digi.com.my/ecomm_C/services/de...lktime_Services

I tried on another number also with SLL and IDDIC, this one with credit RM20 and Talktime Transfer works.

DG website still has this item on IDDIC under their prepaid plan FAQ. It made me wonder if the RM10 fee is only charged to foreigners?

Maybe that's why. In the forums, when people ask, they always reply with RM10 charge for IDDIC until recently when they said the RM10 is waived until further notice.

It is the one at Alamanda. I also called digi to ask whether they can mnp to best v1 but same answer, only possible to v2.

I planned to get digilife mnp mine but now buzzme looks good as well. I dont use internet much but when I need it I would like it to be fast which is what offered by buzzme although costs a bit more.
Also just found out xox has season pass which with its 28 months validity makes it quite a good deal. 8gb season pass costs rm110 which can be divided to minimum 500mb per month so a month of internet would cost 110/16=rm6.875. If my math is correct, with rm220 you can get almost 3 years of internet by taking advantage of free monthly data when you top up at least rm30 per month. That would equate to rm73.33 per year with 1.5gb left in the season pass. After the 3 years it will cost considerably more because of extension cost. It costs much more than best v1 and certainly more complicated but it is the best alternative after digi v1 and buzzme in terms of cost.

Thanks for checking it again. Looks like what I suggested could work but perhaps not practical, there does not seems to be much demand for talktime at least here in the forum.

Maybe try another DiGi Store. Don't trust the helpline, I also called DiGi's Helpline last week before I made the MNP and they gave the same answer that only Best v2 is available.

I actually tried to MNP to Buzzme before DiGi back in Dec. I contacted them via FB Messenger but the list of the 5 dealers near my house, that they gave me, either didn't do Buzzme or have stopped dealing with them.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=77799027
Also was worried about where to reload. mynews.com doesn't do Buzzme reloads. I didn't check 7/11. Failed to register at their website, didn't get the verification email. etc, etc, etc. It wasn't very reassuring.

I use MyDigi, the website. I think can also use the MyDigi app. Not sure, haven't tried. btw, it's 20, 10 DiGi + 10 non-DiGi.

btw, did you get your IDDIC 64kbps activated?

I'm in same dilemma. MNP into DG in January. Initial validity 30 days, then upon expiry topped up RM50 for another 50 days and to gather enough credibility for SLL. Now valid till mid-April and trying to hold out before buying SLL. Short answer, I don't think DG will close the option for v1.

Hi,

I will be gone from Malaysia for 6 months and just need a number for the sake of having a number (signing up to my WhatsApp, Kakao and hopefully receiving SMS when I am abroad)

I am sorry if I have missed information that is mentioned on this thread, but it seems to me that the best option for me is Xiddig ? I do not need data roaming since I will be using WiFi most of the time, but seriously, I try to avoid using my phone when I am travelling.

So what do you guys suggest ?

Cheers

I will be gone from Malaysia for 6 months and just need a number for the sake of having a number (signing up to my WhatsApp, Kakao and hopefully receiving SMS when I am abroad)

I am sorry if I have missed information that is mentioned on this thread, but it seems to me that the best option for me is Xiddig ? I do not need data roaming since I will be using WiFi most of the time, but seriously, I try to avoid using my phone when I am travelling.

So what do you guys suggest ?

Cheers

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 sweat.gif

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.

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 ..... nod.gif

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.

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.

If I am not mistaken it is only 28months validity for first time joining Xox

After that, you need to pay RM25 deducted for 1 year validity extension.

Tron you top up RM10 extend validity by additional 365 days. No deduction of RM10. It can be used for calls, sms and also Internet biggrin.gif rclxms.gif

kind off....

according to http://www.xox.com.my/plans/onexox/
there is a dedicated account and a main account. different rates. mean what ?

if mnp there get 28 months. after that no mention or I can't find!

no mention if the data is charged per mb if not subscribing for monthly/weekly passes

not sure I got the right website or not. one in english then jump to another malay version in onexox - which to be honest harder to understnd

OneXOX has no PPU, so if you don't subscribe a pass you cannot use internet

top up gets split between dedicated account DA and main account MA

call and sms are deducted from the DA first at lower rates

once your DA is emptied charges deduct from MA at higher rates

so it's just a way to encourage top up

if you top up RM50, all the credit land in DA, so it's all used at the lower rates

kind off....

according to http://www.xox.com.my/plans/onexox/
there is a dedicated account and a main account. different rates. mean what ?

if mnp there get 28 months. after that no mention or I can't find!

no mention if the data is charged per mb if not subscribing for monthly/weekly passes

not sure I got the right website or not. one in english then jump to another malay version in onexox - which to be honest harder to understnd

Well look at the post 260. It should answer your question

RedOne can be a hassle to MNP to as RedOne website does not have facilities to Port over online.

Some of RedOne agents do not offer MNP even though they are suppose to but manage to find an agent that is the mobile kind of agent and he made a website to offer what RedOne website does not offer. Nice chap.

This is his website :

http://www.myredone.com.my/mnp-registration/

Just MNP mine with him.

Update to RedOne Data8 above:

RedOne Customer Service 1909 Line is really bad .. could not connect for over 12 hours now. The staff are friendly but I guess their line got problems.

Since I was promised that RedOne will match my International Roaming and Credit Limit from my Post Paid when I MNP over .. it was with some hassle.

The thing with RedOne are, increase from default credit limit of RM 50 will require deposit and same goes with International Roaming but International Roaming deposit is RM 300 !!!

RedOne registration method is first to activate or MNP customers to their basic default accounts. Once the line have successfully MNP or activated, the agents will have to apply for whatever to match MNP service like credit limit and international roaming.
This is when the hassle starts as RedOne can reject it and ask you to pay the deposit.

I do not know if this is the method Redone use to get more customers and to screw them over deposits ?! With some arm twisting, I manage to get my international roaming !

If you are not satisfied, you have 7 days from the day the line got active to port out. This is in their TnC.

Follows Celcom coverage but Celcom is having upgrade currently until August so there will be service disruptions but Redone FB have been updating of the locations.

Customer service is a hit and run. When they are good and you manage to call it, it will be good. But sometimes, you can't call in at all. I have experienced this.

MNPs are done via an agent closes to you and everything they do is online via a table. So I do not think MNP will be an issue .. well it depends you come from a Postpaid or Prepaid.

I guess Prepaid is a bit slower. Prepaid line have to be active when during the MNP process and beware that the Prepaid Telco might delay if you are close to validation expiry so you will have to top up again .. sneaky little buggers.

The other option that I did not explore since I wanted to try Redone was to MNP to Tune Talk, buy validation 365 at RM 28 and weekly RM2 - 100MB data.. it will come close to Redone where you get RM 8 for 500MB in the Redone Data 8 plan. Weekly RM2 - 100MB data is recurring so you do not need to do it every week.

Tune talk will be cheaper for calls if calls are more than 2 minutes average but there is only 1 cent difference anyways.

Tune Talk customer service has been great on phone and on Tune Talk FB / FB PM. I manage to help a friend to complete the MNP thru Tune Talk FB Messenger.

Thanks. If mainly used for data I think Redone wins over Tunetalk as Redone does not have the RM 28 yearly subscription.
I was thinking to MNP to Redone but just worry about the general experience and the 6 months contract.

One more question - if I have data left at the end of the month, will it be forfeited or can it be carried-forward?

Hi guys, excellent thread by the way. Honestly I haven't read the whole 14 pages, I will do so, but in a mean time, i think i just ask here.
Im working oversea. Currently im using prepaid xpax, validity 1 or 2 years (you can choose). The problem is if i need to extend or renew, i can only do it in Malaysia, which means i have to go back to kl and extend it. Is there any telcos/plan that is better than this?
My only criteria is able to receive, send sms and receive and making calls. Data only important when im in kl. Anyone can help?

On the latest Tune Talk app, it looks like it is possible to pay for the Annual Validity but I cannot test it because I already purchase the Validity.

The new Tune Talk app, look for the floating " i ".

I do not know if sending SMS for purchasing the Tune Talk annual validity works from abroad.

Friends and I have tried doing the extension when we're in Singapore, so quite sure it works in other countries if you're able to log on Celcom's partner network over there.

We did it by sending EXP1 (for 1 year validity extension) or EXP2 (2 years) to 28882. smile.gif

Hi all,
I'm currently using HOTLINK WM, free basic internet but I need to top up every month to stay active (but I didn't call much, I feel wasted).
Any other plan can recommend to me? Long Validity & free basic internet will be great. Digi New Best v1 Prepaid << looks great, but anyone know still available?
Thank you !

update: anyone know HOTLINK FAST got free basic internet & can purchase validity 365 @ RM33?

AFAIK, Hotlink FAST comes with free basic internet but cannot subscribe to Validity 365.

New SIM packs for DiGi Best you can only get the DiGi New Best Prepaid v2 these days, comes with free basic internet (which is not the IDDIC) and Super Long Life but the latter costs RM68.

Hi All,

You can get 'sponsored data' opportunities by Downloading 'Freeway by Syntonic'. This is where certain apps give you data to use for their apps (for example, on Pokemon Go, Clash of Clans, SnapChat etc). They also have 'data rewards' options which instead give you data to use on anything by downloading certain apps.

I was able to get 500mb of data last week. It is only on certain networks- but it is most of them. Check it out smile.gif

maxis doesnt have attractive plan for long validity data

best bet is digi with SLL and subscribe to IDD club (one time payment) for 1GB/month 64kpbs free data, free data is capped but if it's enough, you just need to maintain the validity

but i dont remember which digi plan eligible for SLL, try n see if digi coverage good enough for u

Dang .. what a waste .. but I can see why they did this since many of their users do not see the benefit of this plan... obvious in their Hotlink FB page. Hope they will still have the service for the current customers.

If 64kbps internet speed is sufficient then Digi Best prepaid 2016 gives 500MB basic internet monthly with SLL 365days validity for RM68.

Another option if you'd like High Speed access would be BuzzMe prepaid. Their data plan has no expiry ie. remaining data balance is valid as long as the account is valid. Also available is 1 year validity at RM38.

If your remote sensing data is constant then either digi or buzzme is fine. If there are data gaps or data scheduling then digi is better recommended bcoz the data counter for digi is at 10KB blocks while buzzme is 1MB blocks.

I am actually looking for a telco which has longest validity to park my number.

Wondering what happens after 28 months. Any options to extend the validity some more? Like pay rm30 for another 365 days? Thanks

Every time topup will extend the validity

Eg topup rm30, validity will 28 mths + 30 days

Only if not topup will reach the 28 mths validity

Can extend the validity rm25 for 1 year, rm18 for 6 months

hi brother, season pass 1GB means if 1GB remains unused, it's valid as long as our prepaid is valid?

like this if my prepaid currently valid until may 2018, i can keep 1GB quota valid until then if i dun use at all?

this fact i read from XOX FAQ just now...


should be ok for oneXOX plan right? no need apply new prepaid plan...

Looking for a prepaid plan for just data only as a backup data plan.

Don't need to make calls or SMS. Just need about 2 gb to 3 gb max.

Am using UMobile as my data plan but coverage outside Klang Valley is not good.

Hence want a backup data plan for say rm30 a month.

Just data only, no calls or SMS required. Any such plans in the market.

try onexox...get 28 months validity, no monthly commitment

buy season pass

eg: rm30 can store 2gb data in season pass, in not use/activated it will remain following credit validity (28 months)

if use 500mb per month, it can last up to 4 months

The 28 months is only available if you port in or also for new registration

If 64kbps internet speed is sufficient then Digi Best prepaid 2016 gives 500MB basic internet monthly with SLL 365days validity for RM68.

Another option if you'd like High Speed access would be BuzzMe prepaid. Their data plan has no expiry ie. remaining data balance is valid as long as the account is valid. Also available is 1 year validity at RM38.

If your remote sensing data is constant then either digi or buzzme is fine. If there are data gaps or data scheduling then digi is better recommended bcoz the data counter for digi is at 10KB blocks while buzzme is 1MB blocks.

how do we determine if our device is remote sensing data or data gaps/data scheduling?

He/she did address the matter in the blog, "in order to ensure the smart bundle validity to follow the main balance validity which is a year time, user should subscribe validity first then subscribe the smart bundle, the sequence matters".

Alternately, you may consider buy a onexox sim at RM10 with free 28month validity, then buy a season pass at RM110 with 8GB data a some free minutes, then use the season pass to subscribe monthly 500mb (for 16months), take the very first year for calculation, it costs RM92.50 a year with monthly 500mb, balance of 16 months active validity, 2GB balance in season pass worth RM27.50, and some free minutes.

Better go for OneXOX. MNP to OneXOX and you'll get free validity for up to 28 months. Plus, cheap call and sms rates and flexible two balance accounts. Data wise, both are expensive since they're both MVNO. But OneXOX offers Season Pass, unlimited validity for data. Register now(offer) for a cheap price for RM30 for just 3GB with no validity.

Tron the cheapest.

Tron is riding on Digi 3G network and the lowest vanity with just rm10 topup per yr.

Each topup min rm10 will extend 365 days from the date of topup and you can think again 1yr later.

Reload voucher can get from various method or online payment like epay or even PayPal.

Thanks for the reply, but what about from the four-big telcos themselves like celcom, maxis, digi and umobile?

What do you recommend?

None.

Unless you willing to pay for extension or you topup rm30 every mth so it will keep extending the expire date...

Forget about onexox as in the first place not going to use a data further more it will be as normal call and seldom topup. Free 28mth so what.. after the that have to pay for extension which is rm28 for 1yr.


Tron is the cheapest.

I have Tron, Digi and onexox prepaid.

Tron in my opinion is the most flexible for people who prioritize line validity longevity, but still wants to make the occasional calls or have internet access for short periods.

In this day and age where people seldom calls or text anymore, having data is a must. And in my opinion TRON provides such flexibility with validity longevity along with relatively affordable data subscription.

In fact it has an affordable Monthly Data Plan of just RM10 providing "ALMOST unlimited" Social Whatsapp/Wechat.

RM 1 Daily for 30MB @3G Speed (upto 2.7Mbps) plus 30MB of data at 32kbps

RM5 Weekly for 150MB @3G Speed (upto 2.7Mbps) plus 150MB of data at 32kbps

RM10 Monthly for 300MB @3G Speed (upto 2.7Mbps) plus 300MB of data at 32kbps


They advertise their data plan as UNLIMITED but the T&C fine print stats that the Unlimited data has a quota that is equivalent to the Subscription. Thus RM 10 will give you 300MB at 3G speed and 300MB at Social Whatsapp speed of just 32kbps, quite enough for casual use per month.

All in all RM10 monthly is very affordable along with the Validity longevity. Do remember to unsubscribe the data plan before midnight , if you don't wish to continue though.

TRON always have a promotion where RM100 top up will give free RM25 extra credit. So RM 125 credit for just RM100.. that will get 1 year validity and 12 months @RM10 monthly data if you wish.

Other wise, just top up RM10 via Maybank2U .. and have the validity extended for another year from the date of top-up. It also comes with a 90 days In-active period which should give you lots of time to top up in case you forgot to top up.

It's call and SMS rate are on the high side, 20 sen per minute, 10 sen for SMS. BUT currently it has a FREE calls to other TRON Family and Friends numbers. Totally FREE.

Pls prove onexox is mlm

Our shariah panel will not endorse that kind of business plan...fyi onexox is the only telco shariah compliance

At least every time topup the validity will be extended 28 months + topup validity

What is OneXOX ?

Extract from
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=81245526

Onexox is mobile operator with mlm style business. Joint onexox as dealer for RM278 and start your downline. DA/MA is insentive to keep user topop single RM50. User got cheap rate, dealer got 15% + and naik pangkat. Without DA/MA how many downline will topop RM50 ?

Extract from
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry83086833

1. OneXOX is a MVNO riding on another MVNO. It is quite cumbersome that OneXOX have to get approval from XOX just to get additional features.

2. Officially, as of June 2015 Umobile have 4 million subscriber base. Unofficially, they're roughly now at 5 million plus (unofficial figure from unverified sources.)

3. Officially as of August 2016 XOX have 1.5 million subscriber base which of roughly 1.2 million is oneXOX plan. Of that 1.2 million OneXOX subs, 800K is active. (Ask uncle google and you can verify these figures.)

4. OneXOX caters for different market segment which some people tend to forget. Their primary market is mostly malay semi-rural and rural areas. These are the areas that XOX themselves are unable to penetrate on its own.

5. Feature wise, most of OneXOX offerings right now goes down well to its primary market.

6. The only area where OneXOX will have to sit down and think hard is the data consumption segment. Do they want to optimize their bandwidth utilization or not (since very competitive rates is now being offered by the big 4 telcos) ?.

yes, my family has quite a few Tron number since 2013.

Problem is getting the Simpack, or trying to MNP to Tron. No 4G though.
Using Digi line is always a drawback for some people, as Digi is seen as weak in coverage compared to Maxis and Celcom.

Every package from different MVNO has their pros and cons. There really isn't one that wins in all aspects.
And you can't really compared MVNO against the Main Mobile carriers. It really boils down to individual preferences.

Dear adiwarna,

As long as you gain any percentage from your direct customers and indirect customers then it is MLM.

OneXOX is basically a mlm style business but with a positive tone as it is shariah compliant since August 2016.

Before August 2016, I am also in the opinion that OneXOX business model is conventional mlm. Since August 2016, shariah compliance makes OneXOX one of the very few mlm deserving respect for their newly transparent mlm business model. As it is, OneXOX is the first and only shariah compliant telco currently.

For shariah adherence, everything MUST be transparent, no hanky panky, no hidden charges, no hidden terms or conditions. Basically, they become an open book with everything offered can be scrutinized. That's why shariah compliant is a big deal.

There is nothing wrong with mlm style business. The problem may be with the people who became downlines and pushes the business model the wrong way. Fortunately, this is also being addressed by OneXOX indirectly through the use of KPI. So the argument of DA/MA with RM50 monthly topups by downline is a non issue. In reality, I haven't met with a OneXOX prepaid subscriber who claims having to "pump in" RM50 monthly just to appease their upline ever since I "monitored" OneXOX from the sidewalk for the last two years. So, such allegations remains just allegations without proof.

Such is the business model of OneXOX and yet they offer a basic product with good features. OneXOX prepaids offers cheaper calls/sms rates that is in-sync with their intended market segment. Premium sms content blocking is already one great feature that shields their subscribers from missing credits. Stacking and/or extended validity is also great. Competitive IDD rates is another. Definitely it will not attract those who wants big data or unlimited of everything.

From what I heard recently, Celcom as parent MNO was having fits with so many of its subscribers jumping over to OneXOX.

As they say, numbers don't lie. From just less than 400K subsriber base at end of 2014, the combined XOX/OneXOX is now 1.5 million as of August 2016 (and climbing based on the feedback I'm hearing so far). That is 1.1 million new subsribers within a 20 months period. They have just been allocated another two (2) million mobile numbers by SKMM recently. That is impressive for an mvno player.

So, the numbers alone proves OneXOX must be doing something right. Else, why would there be many more joining the fun such as TRONexus ?

1. Correct. TRON is not a public listed MVNO. Only XOX is public listed (BHD).

2. Correct. OneXOX is XOX subsidiary as a separate entity (SDN BHD).

3. Do investors decide based on sentiment or fundamentals ? Their choice. I dont give a damn.

4. Apparently, all telco stocks is not good investment currently.

5. Even Telenor wants to divest their stocks in Digi. Also, STC wants to divest their stocks in Maxis.

So what's the problem ? I don't see any ..... biggrin.gif

Oh please, you are comparing durians to grapes.

Please be clear, after August 2016, in order to be in compliance with shariah requirements, the incentives comes with strings attached as agreed in the akad. This is to remove all syubhah and gharar elements.

If your commission/incentive comes from limited scope like from a single deal then it is not MLM. That is a direct one-time commission.

Right now, your dealer commisions/incentives is perpetual and from multi layer ( 2 tier / 4 tier / 6 tier). That is by definition a MLM.


No need to be nasty here. I stand ready to be corrected by more knowledgeable people.

Thank you.

6. The only area where OneXOX will have to sit down and think hard is the data consumption segment. Do they want to optimize their bandwidth utilization or not (since very competitive rates is now being offered by the big 4 telcos) ?.

OneXOX is a MVNO. For MVNO market, OneXOX is still the best since they offer much cheaper data, sms and call rates than other MVNO. It's not MLM. It's about how much values can we gain from a damn service..

Long validity but mahal is like much data but no signal. Useless

Guys, is Digi Best Prepaid V4 (very old plan), able to convert to Digi New Best Prepaid V1, to take advantage of the IDD Internet Club? Is it worth it? Plan to just use minor internet consumption for whatsapp, etc. while on the move.

Really? 64kb is by default, you didn't activate IDD IC?

Can you check the actual term your plan is?

What I just researched is, I believe they have phased out..
Digi New Best Prepaid V1. (able to activate IDD IC for the 64k internet)..
Digi New Best Prepaid V2.

Their current plans now is:
(a) Digi Prepaid Live
(b) Digi Prepaid Best (2016)
And they don't come with free internet by default. They have something like if you make international call of RM1 or above , then u get 200mb internet free.. something like tht.. but their free internet is need to fill their conditions of hitting certain call quota.. no 64k or anything..

I've the old Digi Best Prepaid v4 (in fact, me and a few friends), and we all have IDDIC. I don't think it's free basic internet though, only the IDDIC.

Have you tried subscribing to IDDIC with the v4? If so, then no need to upgrade unless you want the other new features(?). Anyway, I've a feeling that upgrading will only take you to the latest plan (Digi Prepaid Best 2016). Is there an option to choose to upgrade to an older plan?

Yes mine is the very old V4. If can do IDDIC, that will be great. Looking to try it once I reload the card (validtiy expired at moment).

Is there any Digi website link to get further confirmation on this?

I'm looking to replace my Hotlink Tablet which no longer has 365 days validity, but data still have (RM45 - 2GB for 365 days).

So for the Digi Prepaid Best 2016 v2 come with 500MB monthly auto reset and only buy 365 days validity for RM68 once. In other words, only pay for RM68 then can enjoy free 500MB DATA every monthy, am I right?

How do I verify that simcard is Prepaid Best 2016 v2?

If you've already paid the RM45 for your Hotlink Tablet and the 2GB is going to be valid for another year, and you only need that much data for the period, can consider paying the other RM33 to get Validity 365 instead.

A friend bought a Digi Best card last week and it's stated Digi Prepaid Best 2016, that's the latest plan. Note that the speed on the free basic internet is only 64kbps. I've tried using my own Digi to launch Grab Taxi with this basic internet, until I finally decided to pay RM1 for the daily 300MB fast internet instead. tongue.gif

season pass

Let's say you buy the Happy Hour Season Pass 3GB RM30. You'll get 3GB credited to your Season Pass "wallet" and have RM30 deducted from your credit balance.

You want to use data today, say the 500MB - 30 days - http://www.onexox.my/pelan-internet-mudah-alih.html
- Send SMS code 1XD500 to subscribe / via *150# menu
- 500MB will be deducted from your 3GB Season Pass "wallet"
- Nothing will be deducted from your credit balance - no need to pay (again)
- Your data will be available for 30 days, then cut off automatically
- Any balance of the 500MB will be forfeited

*the 3GB season pass is valid up to 28 months if not activated, if 500MB activated every month, it ccan last up to 6 months
*current promo: topup rm30/more will get free 500MB per calender month for 5 years (total 30GB)

Being a user of both, I'd say the main difference is that you'll have to subscribe to a data plan in order to "withdraw" from Season Pass when you want to surf. Whereas with Hotlink Tablet, you just need to slot the SIM card and surf away.

Therefore with Hotlink Tablet, you just use up whatever you actually utilize but with OneXOX, the remaining of the data plan you subscribe to cannot be carried forward. For example, you pick a 500MB monthly plan. This 500MB will be gone after that month, even if you actually use less than that (like say 200MB) - cannot be carried forward, once withdrawn, it's "gone" after that month.

But ya, the Hotlink Tablet plan is really bangwall.gif in a sense, as compared to the old one.

I have been using buzzme for some months now. So far, I am happy with their service.

If anyone need long validity for both calls/sms and data and dont need to use data often, I would certainly recommend buzzme. Currently, for rm50 you can get 1 year validity, 700mb high speed data, and about rm7 of credit to use. How to if anybody interested, topup rm50 and get free 500mb data>subscribe one year validity for rm38>subscribe 200mb data to extend data validity to one year for rm5.

However be aware that the vallidity period cannot be stacked. This is stated in their t&c

Every time you reload, your SIM Card will compare the remaining validity period of your existing airtime credit with the validity period of your new reload. The higher of the two validity periods will be effective.)

the term validity: is it the period where the line will not be closed? or is it the period where we can still make outgoing calls/send sms?

Current promo topup rm30 free 500mb
*
How much is it? Where is the outlet where I can change it on the spot?
Currently a DIGI subscriber but found out that they dont have such plans for their customer to maintain their line active for a year..Have to do reload every time to ensure my line is not barred.
Urgently need to change to a telco that can provide me one year validity as I will be flying out of Malaysia soon.

Just to sharing. Im using #hotlink with monthly free 500mb basic internet (64kbps). What im usually does is when going to expiry, i will do a talk time transfer (rm 10) which cost 50 sen / transaction, and it will be entend another 4 days. If calculate without call, first reload RM 50 (with lazada via CC such as CIMB will get 5% CB or Citibank with 15% CB), im using Citibank, so i pay only 42.50 and get 50. 365day - 50=315days. 315/4=79 transactions and 50 sen for a transaction = around RM40 for a year to enjoy full year basic internet. Hope it help.

I don't get how it's possible to use RM40 for a year to enjoy full year basic Internet.

79 transactions = *RM9.50 X 79
= RM750.50
*every topup is RM9.50 ( RM10 - 50sen)

icon_question.gif
May I know how is possible to use only RM40?
Would really like to know & utilize your method.
Thanks!.

So Digi no longer offer SLL for Best 2016 and I was told by CS, those that manage to get it before March 1 will not be able to renew their SLL, Hotlink Bagus is not available for new Customers and Celcom has totally discontinued theirs also. So no main Telcos has 365 anymore?

Sifus,

My wife has been on U mobile Power Prepaid for approximately a year, RM10 top-up for 10 days validity (I think), and she has accumulated more than RM100 unused credit.

She is looking for alternative.
The RedOne prepaid caught her eyes, RM10 top up 30 days validity with 500MB free data per month.
But the dealer told her that RedOne Prepaid is not available for MNP. Is that true? If it is, then that is really no-go as she really want to keep her existing phone number.

Any other package that is comparable to RedOne Prepaid?
She is not keen on OneXOX as that does not come with data (charge as you use) (need to buy season pass data plan separately).

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Do you mean that this is done with Share-A-Top-Up with another number?
Transferring credit back & forth?
With total cost of only RM40 by doing this?

That's not true!
As far as I know, Maxis still has Validity 365 available. The Hotlink Bagus Plan, which offers Validity 90/365 is available upon request to #Hotlink.
Kindly read my thread on how to successfully request for Hotlink Bagus.

Oh really? That will be great! Cos I pm #Hotlink this morning asking to mnp from digi to hotlink and they told me it's not available to new users. And I check the thread, the last few post that Validity 365 are only for old users and not the new ones. Thanks so much Star Primo. I will try again tomorrow after reading your post ツ

what is the different package between Tron vs OneXOX?
Both look very cheap now for long validity.

Tron is base on Digi coverage while OneXOX is base on Celcom coverage?
Am I right?

May I know which package have the cheapest plan now for long validity, as I will only use it as back up phone especially during weekend outdoor activities ? Only for calls/sms and basic whatsapp.

Fact 1: The cheapest 1 year validity is TRON whereby a single topup of RM10 will give you 365 days validity.

Fact 2: The cheapest starter pack with longest validity is ONEXOX. Simpack RM10 + reload RM10 = RM20 total cost (to get 28 months initial validity).

Besides just validity, if coverage and call/sms/internet tariffs is to be considered please review the list below and check their respective websites:

1. Altel (celcom infra) : 1 year validity RM28
2. BuzzMe (Umobile infra) : 1 year - RM38
3. ONEXOX (celcom infra) : 1 year RM25
4. TRON (digi infra) : 1 year validity with any RM10 topup
5. Tunetalk (celcom infra) : 1 year validity RM28

good point thumbup.gif

another point to consider, pay per use

onexox doesn't have pay per use meaning no credit deduction if accidentally turn on mobile data

1. If your Digi is not Prepaid Best 2016 then SLL is still available at the moment.

2. TRON does not have international roaming.

3. If international roaming is required, I would use OneXOX for receiving only bank TACs ... If you need to reply to some bank confirmation sms then I would suggest Altel or Tunetalk. All three are using Celcom infra. All three have long validity.
