Hmmm .....

I have taken a peek at ussd *118# and there are two (2) types of internet packs available.

1. Magic packs (with Unlimited Calls)
2. Internet Packs

The (#1) magic packs listed all the new M4GIC internet plans while the (#2) Internet packs listed all the existing mobile internet plans.

Apparently there are now two types of internet plans to choose from. One with unlimited burung hantu and another with limited burung hantu, I believe NSR is giving accurate info .....

Well, let's wait for the official announcement to get some clarity.

Best of luck.

The social pack current balance will be stacked behind the the subscribed daily/weekly/monthly plan.

My guess is that balance will be frozen indefinitely because social pack is not valid under magicsim. Social packs are valid for xpax Xlite until xpax IOX.

This is what I believe as legacy plans oversight. From my reading/research there are at least 12 legacy prepaid plans under celcom (and my list is still not complete yet).

Celcom's extended 1yr/2yr validity is available for most legacy plans from xpax Xlite to xpax IOX .... and no the validity does not stacks ...

1. The Add-on Internet Burung Hantu can be subscribed on its own without any internet package.
2. Promo is until 14th July (which means MAXHANTU5 on the last day will get you unlimited IBH for the next 30 days)

Please refer to IBH thread beginning here (and onwards):

Hope that helps.

Social pack rm10 150mb still available for xpax/frenz ... dial *118# to aubscribe.

This is a no brainer !

IOX is way better than xpax turbo .....

For IOX:
1. Calls are 33sen/10minutes on-net, 33sen/3minutes off-net
2. Sms are 20sen/5sms to all networks
3. PPU data is 50sen/50KB
4. PPU is easily overcome by subscribing to Burung Hantu (maxhantu2/maxhantu5) and comes with free 100MB basic internet
5. Can subscribe and stack more Burung Hantu
6. Can subscribe to 1 year / 2 years extended validity

For Turbo:
1. Calls are 24sen/minute to all networks (60secs block)
2. Sms is 12sen to all networks
3. No PPU. 500MB basic internet
4. Comes with free 10GB Burung Hantu BUT limited to 333MB per day (and forfeit if not used)
5. Cannot subscribe to more Burung Hantu
6. Cannot subscribe to extended validity

My free 1GB redemption sms arrived about 5.30am ... hmm ... now, how to check the balance ?

1. Since you are on Xlite plan, then https://www.xpax.com.my/internet-1 is applicable to you except for Free Minutes and Free Burung Hantu.

2. The newer internet plans on xpax website is intended only for xpax Turbo.

3. Bear in mind that old xpax plans pay-per-use data is at 50sen/50KB

4. All internet plans are auto renewed. To stop auto renewal, send STOP to 28882 (this only stops auto renewal, internet plan is still valid).

5. If you use seldom use data and/or use very little data at a time (ie. less than 10MB per session), an alternative would be to use data packs. For example:

- CHAT pack : RM5 gets you 50MB with no time limit.
- SOCIAL pack : RM10 gets you 150MB data with no time limit.
- The data remains valid as long as your account is valid (or until you finish using it).
- To subscribe, look in *118# or send CHAT / SOCIAL to 28882

6. The call rates are quite steep for Xlite but it is offset by 8pax and monthly bonus.

7. Xlite is able to subscribe to 1 year / 2 years extended validity. Send EXP1 or EXP2 to 28882 to subscribe.


May the force be with you ...

1. Those CHAT packs are not only meant for chatting/messaging. It can be used for browsing too and of course stock price checking. The beauty of these data packs is that you can stack them and has no time limit. For example:

a. NET5 at RM5 gets you 300MB quota for 1 day. Any balance quota will be forfeited after 1 day is up.
b. SOCIAL at RM10 gets you 150MB quota with no time limit. Assuming you only use 5MB a day for stock price checking, the 150MB quota can last you for 30 days (or more if you use less data).
c. Yes, you can also stack data (add more) by subscribing to more data packs
d. The data packs also protects you from accidental pay-per-use usage.
e. When subscribing to normal internet plan, the data pack becomes 2nd tier (backup).
f. The data counter is still 10KB blocks. This helps stretching usage over time.

2. 8pax is discounted call rates to 8 celcom/TM fixed numbers. Something like friends-n-family rates. There is also the monthly free sms to 8pax (which could be between 55 to 105 depending on how the system calculates your tenure).

3. Upgrading to xpax turbo makes sense if :

a. you still want celcom coverage now
b. you want cheaper call rates at 24sen/minute (60 seconds block) and 12sen/sms
c. get free basic internet (64kbps) 500MB quota monthly
d. you want to experience xpax turbo internet plans.
e. makes regular RM30++ topup monthly

Bear in mind older features and add-ons such as SOCIAL packs, older internet plans, extended validity, etc will no longer be available to xpax turbo.

Another way to approach this is by getting a new xpax turbo sim to try out for awhile to see if you like the plan (and if yes, then migrate your current number to xpax turbo).


May the force be with me .....

If haven't reach total topup at least RM30 by end of 6 months, the extended expiry will be canceled and the account will enter 50 days grace period.

Currently, there is only one and only telco that blocks 3rd party scam premium content from getting to your credit.

OneXOX is confirmed to block all premium sms content.
I recommended to a few who has this particular issue and they're seemingly happy now.
Look for a dealer near you and ask for more info.

Yes. That is the SOP for many years.

For quicker mnp, port into a celcom mvno (altel, onexox, tunetalk) and you can port out to xpax faster. For example, onexox allows porting out immediately after porting in.

NSR

Today, many old xpax plan(s) user(s) received a message telling 'em that they'll be forced migrated to current Xpax plan.

Any news on this ?

Thanks.

Forced migration of old xpax plans have started yesterday evening.

All those with extended validity will have their accounts updated within 2 weeks.

On the day of migration, the validity is reset to 30 days.

However, accounts with extended validity subscription will be updated with original extended validity date within two (2) weeks.

I believe the forced migration is being done in stages starting with Xlite/Xmid, Xpax15, Blue, X2 and so on ... The ones having forced migration right now are the Xlite/Xmid ...

Cool. Gonna look for one alcatel 5045 to play with,

1. XOX not involved here only old xpax plans ..... but lets assume original validity until 1st July 2018.

2. If migration was done today 15 Jan 2017, validity is reset to 15 Feb 2017. As per current xpax MIG tnc.

3. Within two weeks, the system will notify and revert back to original 1st July 2018.
