Season Pass allows substantial savings !

For example: A standard 30days 500MB plan cost RM18 per subscription. Normally, the amount RM18 is deducted from DA/MA credit balance when a subscription is made.

Let's say one purchase an 8GB data pass at RM109.90. So, 1GB now only costs RM13.7375 and so 500MB costs RM6.7077 ...

When one subscribes to the standard 30days 500MB plan, the 500MB amount is deducted from Season Pass, while DA/MA credit balance remains untouched. So a savings of at least RM11.29 (for 500MB 30days plan) when using Season Pass instead of normal credit deduction.

Anyone disagrees that isn't already a substantial savings ?

A rough probable cost breakdown for 1 year usage at 500MB/month :

RM25 for 1 year validity (can omit this if still have longer validity)
RM81 for 500MB x 12 months (6.7077 x 12 = 80.4924 ~ RM81)
----------
RM106
----------

IMHO, its competitive enough when compared to Digi Best Prepaid 2016 at RM68 for 1 year SLL with 500MB basic internet. The difference of RM38 (roughly RM3.166/month) for HS 3G/4G access is well worth it.


To help clarify, Season Pass remains valid as long as the account is valid. That means if your account validity is until 12/12/2030 then your Season Pass (if remain unused) lasts until 12/12/2030 plus 30 days grace period.

Telco wins as they get more of our money sooner. Same for the DA/MA relative proportion which is more favourable the higher the top up.

There may be good deals to have but the average user is not going to do the maths. Instead, they will more likely balk at a cost of RM109.90 for a season pass and not bother.

Good for accountants, too complicated for the average user (who will not be reading LYN forums).

1. season pass is it if i have 28 months validity, then this season pass can also last 28 months?

2. if i buy a new sim card, and do not buy any data plan or season pass, can i online (like pay per use)? or must buy data package?

starting to understand how seasonpass work..not bad!

I'm wondering do those standard internet package auto-renew, if taken out for season passing?

1. Can last 28 months if not subscribe to any internet plan

Once subscribe to internet, the data validity will follow as normal internet plan

2. Cannot online, must buy data, no ppu

look back to the last 2nd post. it seems like we buy the season pass, when u need to use it, it can "withdraw" a certain amount of data/call time according to the plan?

besides, can we buy data without season pass?

Correct

Can buy standard/promo package;

PAKEJ STANDARD
KUOTA HARGA SAH
150MB RM3 1 HARI
350MB RM7 1 HARI
350MB RM10 7 HARI
500MB RM18 30 HARI
1GB RM38 30 HARI
2GB RM48 30 HARI
3GB RM68 30 HARI
5GB RM108 30 HARI

PROMOSI
1.5GB RM28 30 HARI
3GB RM48 30 HARI
4GB RM58 30 HARI

SEASON PASS
1GB + 50 MIN CALL + 30 SMS RM29.90
8GB + 50 MIN CALL RM109.90
13GB + 100 MIN CALL RM199.90
18GB + 150 MIN CALL RM279.90

thanks.

Hi,

Just to clarify:

1) for data pass 8GB, If I want to use 1GB this month/30days, I will just need to subscribe to the standard package RM38 (but system will not deduct my Bal in MA/DA), it will deducted 1GB out of stored 8GB for my this month/30days usage. The bal 7GB will be remained untouched until the validity of my sim expired unless I subscribe again.
2) If next month I were to subscribe 1.5GB promo package that priced RM28, my Bal in MA/DA will not be deducted also, but will withdraw from the balance 7GB and become 5.5GB, the 1.5GB for my usage of 30days too.
3) any withdrawn/subscribed data will be forfeited after 30days validity if not used up.
4) the standard or promo package subscription are not renewal automatically.
5) the call season pass will need not to withdrawn by subscribing. Call pass will be last for as long as the sim active to call.

Anyone pls verify the above examples.

Thanks

All correct except no 2...
Season Pass cannot be used with Promotional Package.. just for Standard Package (@Pakej Biasa)
Subscribing to Promotional package will use your credit instead of Season Pass..
Workaround: Subscribe 1GB + Add-on later

I was reading the Season Pass FAQ when I noticed this:

Once I have purchased Data when will the consumption period begin?
The consumption period will begin upon your next data usage/consumption eg when you purchase Data Package SP D1 (5GB) it will be stored in your XOX account, it will only be deducted once you have commenced with NEW data activation (daily, weekly, or monthly data plan).

*XOX Prepaid subscribers (#prepaidplus, High Speed Pack, Penang #1758, United Pack, XOX XinXun plan) have to follow current data subscription command i.e. DATA M500MB. ONEXOX subscribers have to follow their own data subscription command as well i.e. 1XD500

NOTE: Current Data Promo package is NOT allowed to consume from Season Pass. Once you activate Data Promo, it will deduct from your airtime as per normal behaviour.

According to the Mobile Internet Plan table, the following are part of the "Current Data Promo Packages"?

Data
PROMO 1.5GB 30days RM28*
Data
PROMO 3GB* 30days RM48*
Data
PROMO 4GB* 30days RM58*

And there's this under the table:

Fair usage policy applies
* This is a data promotion that starts from 24th June 2014. Plan will auto-renewed as long as there are sufficient credits in the mobile account. However, the plan will not be available for subscription after the promotion period. Data Promo 2.3GB is not applicable for subscription under Season Pass

This page in particular refers to previous XOX prepaid plans. Some of the info is applicable to onexox but not all .....

Again, this is also correct for previous XOX prepaid plans but not applicable to oneXOX. None of onexox data plans are auto renewed.

For oneXOX, please refer to onexox.my ...

BTW, before anyone asks .... I'm not 1XOX dealer ... Not even a subscriber (yet) ... but am surrounded by those who is either a dealer or a subscriber ... Admittedly, I am warming up to onexox due to season pass + extended validity ...

FYI, apart from happy hour season pass and also the advertised bulk season pass SP1/SP2/SP3, onexox dealers can also provide smaller volume season pass at 1GB/2GB/3GB ... Some dealers can also provide 4GB/5GB season pass at competitive rates ...

if i have a voice package and DA balance and if i make a call for 20 seconds, will the credits in DA balance or minutes in the voice package be deducted for this?

anyone knows?

this has been my understanding too.

if we buy the seasonpass and don't have to pay anything to use it later, the phrase "buy a standard data plan" to use seasonpass confuses many people. buy implies we have to pay, would it be better to say activate or subscribe to a data plan?

Which is actually the official website for OneXOX? I've been referring to the XOX one coz it looks official, and the information are laid out neatly for easier reading. The OneXOX one looks a little ... unofficial...?

If what I've read from the XOX website applies here, then I'd say there's a minimum block deduction rather than the real number of seconds used. And yup, it should be deducted from the Season Pass if there's one.

I've learned something after going through the various telco websites - don't absorb every word I read because the terms used can get complicating.

Anyway, I've bought a Season Pass package and subsequently subscribed to a 1-day plan. 150MB was drawn from my Season Pass, while credit balance was left untouched.

As mentioned earlier, I believe they use the existing Mobile Internet/Data plans to draw from the Season Pass probably just out of convenience, or maybe to avoid complications if they were to come up with yet another table.

for short calls, it would be cheaper to use DA instead of seasonpass minutes as DA uses 30-second block but seasonpass 1minute block.

i was originally unwilling to commit rm109.90+rm10. thank you for trying.

i guess it would make sense if one subscribe to a plan with the smaller volume and longer validity.

OneXOX should also introduce normal data plan like 250MB/20 days or 600MB/30 days for moderately data user. So it convinience for those would like to 'withdraw' their 'data saving' from Season pass if they would like to use little data for moderately period.
