Hi guys/girls.

Recently i had purchase an old folks phone for my parents.

I need to choose a suitable sim for that phone which must have long validity (365 days or more) as they quite less using that phone except for emergency, standby or for us to call them.

- Internet is not important as that phone has no internet function.
- Any brand of telco as long as got offer long validity & cheap
- SMS is not important as well
- Quite rare reload
- Short call most of the time

Please list down the :
Brand of sim card
Plan
Price of sim card
Price of Long Validity subscription
and T&C for keep long validity valid



* I had check with digi, the new sim that come with is New Best v2 which is no longer offer 365 validity and is impossible to switch back to old plan.


thanks for you help.

Get TuneTalk... RM 28/year validity... Celcom and DiGi both only the old plans have it.
Maxis I'm not sure as I do not have any lines on Maxis...

does maxis need minimum balance in the account to maintain the 365 ??

I do remember last time need at least RM30 balance...
what about now ?

Thanks

ooo i just saw this 28 month validity offer on xox website. By the way, the line ok so far ?

can purchase new sim card & also reload using credit card via xox website ?

Beside reload XOX website, can purchase reload from bank website or 7-11 ?

Thanks

Ok , check already on tunetalk. No bad no bad, get 50% free credit when reload.

Yup, i'm a digi user for many years, only old plan can subscribe 365. and too bad new sim cannot downgrade to old plan.

Port in or out is not an issue as that number just few of us know. (if come to worst case... haha abandon and get a new card )
but for me , maybe is an issue, coz i using my digi old number for more then 10 years with lots of friend know it. ( I gonna think twice if i wanna port to XOX)

I had check 365 on hotlink. Did not mention about minimum balance require.

Thanks for the info

TRON.

Tron Lite SIM.
A prepaid SIM card that offers 365 days validity with a minimum reload of RM10 and Data starting from RM1.

Hotlink charges RM33 just for the 365 validity and not for usage.

PS: Hotlink minimum top-up RM30 credit in the 1st half of 365 days.

Wow, this sim looks more attractive among others, even call rate is expensive abit. But minimum reload RM10 can get 365 validity

By the way, did you use tron ? how is the line reception ?

Thanks for the info.

one xox is using celcom line..
so where got celcom, u will get one xox too..
i never purchase sim card using website but i once reload using maybank2u from their website..u just need to register ur account first..
and not sure about reload from bank but u can buy reload from 7-11..
u can ask from one of the member name "adiwarna"
he is one of the dealer in LYN..bought mine from him..
he can answer ur question better.


u can port out back..
i read it from somewhere that u need to sms something to them to agree the the port out process..
if not, it will not be process..

and xox and one xox is a different things even they are from same company..

nvm ald ald changed my number. other telcos do not require sms, thus xox should follow and not try to keep me from leaving

Redone postpaid, rm8 per month, free call between same network

check back with xox...they have no right to keep user port out...normally got few reject code eg name/ic not match, credit expired, not reply to port out notification sms etc

btw u can report to skmm if they still not allow

28 months validity with onexox, will be extended with every topup


btw xox and onexox will merge soon and will become onexox

altel is it good , i mean the coverage

So far im happy since it is riding on Celcom network. Good indoor and outdoor coverage.

You may try the rm7 simpack and see whether it fits your expectation. Comes with preloaded data of 300mb (valid for 15d) and rm5 credit (valid for 30d).
