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

my digi line port into xox then unable to port out after completing the 28 months. so think properly if u gonna choose xox

not sure what the terms for 365 hotlink fast

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

tron from mnvo from digi

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).

Aha , i will try and see ... Thanks

id been using xox for my secondary line for 6 month, extended validity until year 2018, very satisfy user.

if mnp, get the 28 months validity free

if new number, need to topup rm10 within 24 hours upon activation / topup rm50 within 30 days upon activation

with onexox

onexox dont have itemised billing ?

got..register @ xox selfcare

Mnp get 28 mths..
If further top up, whats the additional validity?

While im searching for this info, i stumbled upon XiddiG.
Dont know much about this, but for RM10 reload, the validity will auto extend to 365 days.
Good?

rm1 + 1 day...eg topup 50, the validity will be28 months + 50 days

Xiddig is like twin siblings with Tron.

it just keep adding into validity!

see my sig

Only OneXOX does stack up validity.

I still don't understand Tron and Xiddig. Care to explain?

both have same validity for any top up. 365 days.

I'm on TuneTalk... so far so good... RM 28.00/year for 1 year validity... only this thing, data cannot have 1 year validity as the SIM validity...

Care to share which prepaid gives you a data package that lasts as long as the validity of your SIM card? Thanks!

at least with free basic internet... that's good too but for the time being, don't have...

Ah, if you're referring to free basic internet, then that's a different story. For that, should just say free basic internet because this basically lasts as long as the card's validity. Like DiGi Best... RM68/year!

Which telco or MVNO is going to start giving free basic internet with cheap validity extension, first? Wait... maybe long.. long...?

That's all?! If that so, it's better than OneXOX then? Apart from data and sms/call rates ofc

Only Digi

OneXOX, but starts with hundreds of ringgit

bro what happened? I want to port in xox to keep a good number and port out again in the future..
Pls tell more.

Can port out lah. Just make sure that you've been with that telco(C,D,M,U) for at least a month before porting out. Don't forget to maintain your validity as well.

Always can portout from xox anytime

I'm with webe just 2 days, don't want use liao... can I port into xox?

Ok thanks bro.

I don't know about webe. Try and tell me

Only phones with band5 lte 850mhz can support 4g, 3g of webe is ride on celcom = very congested.

Yeah, low frequency means low capacity. You should try your luck or ask other dealer.

tried ad, home.so congested thus x point to keep it... sad

hi guys ..hotlink FAST still got 365 validity? how to get it activated

Band 5 could only had spectrum as wide as 10MHz and Band 3/7 could go up to 20MHz. So nothing really surprising here.

Hotlink FAST cannot subscribe to Validity 365 anymore

No more 365 validity..
If not mistaken can request for old plan.
That one still have 365 validity..

Not sure now still can or not?

Maxis can help

Go to Hotlink thread and ask Maxis or Hotlink to help convert your plan to the old one. Then only can activate 365 validity

Need wait at least 30 days period to port out

Are u webe user? Webe cs told me I can port out anytime I want? Or xox not gonna accept me if I didn't stick with webe at least 30 days?

Nope im not webe user, however isn't it the SOP for porting out ?

most of telcos got 30 days cooling period...if webe cs said like that can just try...if they reject can counter they back

bro, digi can have 1 year or loner validity and 2g data connection?

thanks

hi guys,

bringing up this thread.

- any plan that with longer validity days + usable DATA ?

1 year max. dont know can stack up SLL. Yeah 2G 3G 4G your choice.

digi best prepaid 2017 + Super Long Live 365. Free 500mb slow internet every month.

If Celcom, I understand there is no more 365 validity too.
But is it can request for old plan like maxis?

Well I'm not sure can or not..
They tend to be more stricter

Haizz... stupid of the Celcom.
Because currently I use Celcom Prepaid Blue plan.. (The call and sms rate are really expensive..)

N plan to migrate to Xpax24 (If I m not mistake, this Xpax24 plan still can subscribe credit extend validity) because the call and sms rate are slightly cheaper a bit than my current blue prepaid plan.

I don't want migrate to the latest #Kelentong plan because unable to subscribe validity 365. I got contact through Celcom Live Chat, it's seems like cannot.
But don't know Celcom got any special request teams can arrange to let customer subscribe the validity 365 or not..

actually celcom still have, but they dont just publish it in website or in USSD anymore.
Today i just subscribe the 2 year validity through SMS
i think you sms EXP1 or EXP2 to 28882.
EXP1 is RM30 for 1 year validity
EXP2 is RM50 for 2 year validity.
After that, they will ask you to reply with EXP YES or EXP NO.
Once you replied EXP YES. then thats it.
You can extend your credit validity to 1 or 2 more years.
Mine is extended to 2019

May I know you use what celcom prepaid plan?

There are two (2) prepaid plans that may fill this requirement:

1. Digi Best Prepaid 2016 = has 365 days validity at RM68 with 500MB monthly quota basic internet
2. BuzzMe prepaid = has 365 days validity at RM38 with high speed data quota subscription that does not expire.


Others with long validity:

a. Altel has 365 days at RM28 and data at 5sen/MB payu (pay-as-you-use)
b. Friendi auto extends 60days validity with any data usage at 7.5sen/MB payu
c. OneXOX has 28 months initial validity to match with high speed season pass
d. Tron gives 365 days with any >= RM10 topup and data at 10sen/MB payu
e. Tunetalk has 365 days at RM28 and data at 5sen/MB payu (or addon with weekly RM2 100MB quota)


Edited: Typo corrected for buzzme.

Let's make this clear and hopefully be of help to someone:

1. All older celcom prepaid plans from Xpax (Xlite/Xmid) up-to IOX can subscribe to extended validity.

2. EXP1/EXP2 is tested and verified to be working as of 3rd January 2017.

3. USSD menu *118# for extended validity is not working since late 2015 (magicsim period).

4. Extended validity can only be subscribed using SMS. To subscribe, send EXP1 or EXP2 to 28882

5. EXP1 = 1 year at RM30 / EXP2 = 2 years at RM50

6. Must accumulate RM30 worth of topups within 6 months of EXP subscription or else it will be canceled.

7. There is no way to migrate/revert/subscribe to any of the old xpax plans. Period.

and

keep sharing good thing guys!

Very informative

sorry for the late reply. Mine one is quite old plan. I am on X2

At least your rate plan X2 is more cheaper than my prepaid blue plan.

i'm onexox dealer , recomend u to use onexox for longest vadallity (28 month) plus u can add extra vadility RM25 for a year and so on.... simcard price only RM10. Coverage using celcom network.....should have no problem with that...
u can also maintain old number just port in to onexox network....

So what?

Internet surfing speed wise?

3g between 3Mbps-8Mbps, 4g 10Mbps ++

Can a postpaid number converted to prepaid number? I'm moving abroad and planning to keep my number. but the cheapest postpaid plan still too much for me to bear. i was wondering if i can still keep my current number without buying a new prepaid number?

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=84165442

Thanks for leading to the link!

Are you xox dealer ? Im using mobile prepaid and can I convert ?

Yes, can

Tell me more details

I think this prepaid plan still have it, i had been use for many years, and able to extend the validity to 2~3 years without top-up

http://corporate.xox.com.my/plans/prepaid-plus/

Celcom offer 2 years.

Which plan yea?

The slow internet can get/use Whatsapp ?

Try XOX lately, not sure what happened of the simcard, I can call out no problem but when I get my another no to call my XOX no, it always goes to Voice mail or always engage.

Just bought an onexox sim from miezie06. For those looking for this, I highly recommend this dealer... responsible and very good service!
