Hmmm .....
I've been lurking over this space for a few months now and came to a few simple conclusions.
All prospective new users should be advised on how to comply with the new stupid TnC in the most cost effective manner:
Option 1:After activating a onexox number (new/mnp) there's actually RM5.30 credit inside. Topup exactly RM50 and get one of the cheaper RM30 welcome deal. Claim the additional 8 months validity in the app. After all this buy the 12 months validity package. Save (take screenshot) of the validity purchase sms.
Simple calculation: simcard (RM10) + topup (RM50) = RM60 total. Total credit after topup is rm55.30. Deduct cheap welcome deal RM30 and 12 months validity RM25. Total validity is 4 years 2 months++ (30+50+850+240+365 days).
This way onexox can't make you do any topup for 4++ years. I believe the cost is still reasonable for parking a number this way.
Option 2:For daily use, don't buy welcome deal. Topup RM20 and buy 12 months validity. Wait for Happpy Hour season pass to get your season pass data for daily use. There's one offered every other day ... ex: RM15 for 10GB+50mins+50sms
Many users are not aware that onexox data plans now comes with 512kbps basic data when your subscribed quota finishes. For daily communications, 512kbps is enuff for basic whatsapp/tele messaging.
For existing users affected by the new RM30 TnC, I am curious to know if anyone else have topup RM30 and regained their long validity automatically after a few days as was reported by our fren here:

Update from my sister number:

Well as long as now i know top up rm30 will do,
Rather than buy rm25 1 year valid,
Im ok with that
Anyone else has reloaded RM30 and regained their validity ?
