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.

Digi Best prepaids do have super long life. The latest prepaid Best 2016 have revised the SLL price to RM108 ...
If you're on digi best then check the version first.

Other than digi there's Altel, Buzzme, Onexox, Tron, Tunetalk ... If you need roaming then Altel/Onexox/Tunetalk else check them out to what fits your needs ... shouldn't be a problem to mnp to any of these telco ...

Go browse https://forum.lowyat.net/MobileNumbers&PhoneCardsGarageSales and look at the numbers listed by the dealers there lar ...
-or- go look at http://onlinestore.xox.com.my/purchase.php

My onexox works fine with msos and tac and otp ...

Sometimes the sms can be delayed very long. What I do is I sms bal to 22111 to see if the sms server is overload/delayed.

Celcom no more offering extended validity to current and new prepaids. Only older prepaids still have this option. You cannot mnp to older versions either.

Your best bet would be either

1. ONEXOX - rm25/year (can stack validity, free 28months validity for mnp)
2. Tunetalk - rm10/year (on promo now, cannot stack)
3. Altel - rm28/year (cannot stack)
4. BuzzMe - rm38/year (cannot stack)
5. Tron - rm10 topup for 365days validity (cannot stack)
6. Digi Best - rm108/year (cannot stack)

Celcom infra - ONEXOX, Tunetalk, Altel
Digi infra - Tron, Digi Best
Umobile infra - BuzzMe

I know C and D works fine in Kuching but not sure about U ... For just keeping a backup number on-the-side then its worth to try use onexox.

Hope that helps ...

Hmmm .....

First, check the hotlink version. If its the old hotlink Xtra or Bagus then there is option for 365 days validity.

This is easy peasy .... you need ONEXOX with Season Pass Plus ... Simpack RM10 + Season Pass Plus RM60 ... enough data for 12 months with 383 minutes talktime. You can monitor data usage and subscriptions on selfcare portal or using MyXOX app.

And yes, you will also get 28 months initial validity and can extend some more if you want ...
