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

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.

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.

are you going to reload every month?

did it work for you? i disabled roaming 10 minutes ago and i can still roam.

altel, xox, tunetalk, tron

digi gives 16gb for rm30?! i think it's 6gb only.

lumping together is marketing strategy
