That would be TRON. Any topup of RM10 ++ gives 365 days validity.

Hi ... I am looking for a prepaid card for my mom, prefer the big 4 telco (celcom, maxis, digi, umobile), no need data, just for calling out and receiving calls, long validity for every top-up, what do you guys recommend?

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

What do you recommend?

thanks in advance.

Dont forget to check the call rate, ppu charge

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

See how much other telco charge

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

Mlm? Downline? Obviously wrong.

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 ?

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.
