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.

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.

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.

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

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 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
