Your SIM is from dealer that's why you were charged RM10. If from maxis centre should be free. BUT the maxis centre says no SIM for prepaid / gives a lot of excuses not to MNP your line in.

YET SIM is available for postpaid numbers. Go figure.

So you just add another RM 10 to get your 5gb data for one year validity and you should be fine.
*
One way around this is to sub the cheapest hotlink postpaid then convert it to prepaid after 1 month. Postpaid to prepaid conversion can be done through call unlike Digi which die die must go to centre.

TuneTalk got Epikcall20, Epik35 and etc.

Which one shall I chose?

IF I port in and bought the Epikcall20, do I just need to go to the app and pay the RM35 for 1 year validity ?
*
There is a tiny link at the bottom, if not mistaken after the tahunan plan which written "I just need a SIM". Click and select RM10 Top Up value. After you successfully port in then you can topup more to buy the yearly validity from the app.
In the app, go to the plans page and select validity. There you can buy the yearly rm35.

But Tunetalk don't have the Add-on for Data and Call Talk Time like Unifi Bebas.
*
QUOTE(d100200 @ Sep 6 2024, 11:33 AM)
Unifi Bebas is just perfect for me except no eSIM support.
There is no expiry date except the need to make a call every few months to keep the line active.
Since I already have unlimited data on Umobile, I just need to buy the 200min Talk Time.
So it is the most cost-effective way to keep the line.
Just so sad it doesn't support eSIM.

I am hoping there is another telco that can offer the same with eSim support.
I don't mind paying a bit extra for line longevity.
*
Yeah, most telco do not want to have such plan as to them it is just for people to park their number without generating revenue. Eventually Unifi also do not offer Bebas plan anymore.
Just keep the Unifi Bebas sim for as long as you can, since it suits your usage.

Tunetalk and Xox both has yearly validity plan. Just that for Xox, some said need to topup every 120 days to prevent number from being deactivate.

Hi. Can anyone please suggest to me a phone line /telco that is suitable for my situation?

1. It is for my kid in boarding school.
2. The boarding school is in rural area.
3. The school only allow basic phone with only call and sms. No wifi, No camera on the phone.
4. Therefore no need for data plan as the communication right now is via call and sms.
5. Preferably prepaid package as i can topup as and when required.

Thanks for suggestions
*
Since you mentioned rural area, I think your best bet will be TuneTalk which is MVNO under Celcom. No need to subscribe any plan, just keep the line active and pay as you use.

Hello there,
Currently am working abroad. I just realised that I forgot to topup and renew my hotlink 365 days plan. I tried to contact hotlink, but not to avail. Anyone please help me how.. i really need to retain my number..
*
If the number has been terminated, only way is to go to Maxis centre to get it back. Maybe have to use postpaid for 6 months before convert back to prepaid.
Maybe can try ask your family member to go and buy that number.
