yes, this is the reason why the cost will be expensive. Since they no need to do a reload in a monthly basis so telco is trying hard to let them spend more money to let them to reload again and maintain their profit. This example can be seen in Singapore where the telco provide extremely long validity for each top up but charge for incoming call.

Sorry for being rude. My point is, there're still many people out there depend on prepaid. Think of students and elders

Every people has their own usage. That means people would still spend their money, BUT depending their own usage.

I think the pricing can remain the same, subject to market forces. The point being emphasized is the convenience of usage.

For those that top up regularly, validity has not much relevance and their usage and spend gonna remain. Same those foreign workers calling home, I doubt they even look at their credit expiry date.

Whereas for those who cannot commit RM30 per month, there is more convenience and fairness.

There are plenty of committed Malaysian prepaid users. I never used anything else. For example, DG got 9 million prepaid customer, definitely not all foreign worker.

Thats why different prepaid sim pack should be launch for different users. In Australia Telstra, they had multiple types of prepaid sim packs to suit each ppl needs

For now I'm holding to my 2 years xpax validity plan. Will never ever let it go

Still, we hope you would support our quest for lifetime validity... the first ever 4-dimensional prepaid plan.

so means majority foreign workers using postpaid and most prepaid use by malaysian?

What are you trying to achieve here? My suggestion is to benefit Malaysians. I believe not everybody could use postpaid or prefer prepaid.

HOpe prepaid will follow webe. I don't mind to top up rm79 for unlimited data, call n sms.

in some countries like india and taiwan, credit balance on expired numbers can be refunded.

malaysian telcos are among the most profitable in the world. asking them to be more consumer oriented and risk reducing their profits will not be easy

wow till 2089

Agree. Even if the account has many topup, but isn't active over more than allowed passive duration, then all of the credit would gone.

See this. Even telco uses validity as a sell point for extra ca$h

How many VVVIP no. you keeping ? 01X ABB BBBB type ?

i got 10 to 20.

so much, u selling or persona/business use. anyway u skipped my question is it the range that I mentioned ?

OneXoX give free 28 month validity as selling point. Good for parking number

TS, even as a current postpaid user, I fully support your proposal.

However this proposal will only be possible through some forms of government policy as the big 4 has formed some sort of understanding not to provide long term validity anymore.

XoX and Tune does provide long term validity.

Why is there no any channel for users to give proposal to telcos?
