Hi all, can I know whether it's beneficial to switch from Xmid to Xpax? This line is used by an elder who occasionally needs data for whatsapp etc (low usage). I checked under his Xmid plan, the cheapest monthly data subscription is RM30 for 5GB (way exceeds his needs).
Appreciate any info, as I am running out of time to do research online due to CNY leave ending (I'm in wife's hometown) and the super slow ADSL internet here. |

QUOTE(UN1T3D @ Feb 19 2018, 02:50 PM)  If it's me I would keep the Xmid as it can : 1. subscribe to 2 years extended validity for RM50 (sms EXP2 to 28882) 2.subscribe to social pack 150MB for RM10 with no time limit for whatsapp (sms SOCIAL to 28882) 3. also occasionally receives offers to subscibe 1GB or 2GB monthly data switching to Xpax #kelentong will make you topup rm30 monthly to keep it active and no more extended validity. Alternatively, perhaps in the future, you may want to check out onexox prepaids as it could be well suited for this particular scenario. Hope that helps.  May I know where you found those sms commands? Celcom website doesn't show anything. And the Xpax app doesn't show it too. The social pack you mentioned, is it RM10 pm? I'm using xox, but for an elderly, Xox can be very complicated to use (season pass and the like). |

Thank you for your input.
QUOTE(UN1T3D @ Feb 19 2018, 04:50 PM) Those sms keywords are valid only for older xpax plans (xpax Xlite up-to IOX). Originally offered by Xpax many years ago, they remains valid until now but no longer described in existing xpax website. You could ask uncle google to search for some older blog posts regarding those keywords. I'm in Semenanjung, they are in Sarawak.Xpax does not stack validity like onexox. The only way to have long validity dates is either by reloading up-to RM200 (any xpax plans) or by subscribing to extended validity (for older xpax plans). In your case, I believe he was subscribed to extended validity. He will be able to subscribe again June when the validity is close to expiry. Yes, the social pack is RM10 and every subscription gives you 150MB data quota with no time limit (no expiry date). You can buy repeatedly and stack the data quota too and then slowly use until depleted to zero ... (did I mentioned that there's no expiry or time limit? hehehe) Onexox may be initially confusing but I have elders in their sixties/seventies using onexox without much fuss ... (hint: just focus on their needs and keep it simple) I suppose my option is to subscribe to 2gb data at RM20 per month until I can get him an xox MNP starter sim and physically present to do the initial setup during my next visit later in the year. If use social pack, I'll have a hard time helping him monitor his usage to avoid PAYU. QUOTE(MakNok @ Feb 19 2018, 04:50 PM) Hahaha...even OneXOX offering 28month validity no good kah? Senior citizens? I had a hard time explaining to my wife how xox works when I helped her port to xox. Yes...I did occasionally point out it is actually mind boggling for elderly senior citizen to see buy this and that..beli dulu dan simpan dalam season pass peti ....they will ask..apa iTu?. Like this since rm30 for 5GB too much. Buy thru SMS rm20 2GB monthly.... As long every month have enough credit for auto renewal .. Whatever quota balance will be brought forward .. Can you confirm that the 2GB data plan auto renews? QUOTE(haturaya @ Feb 19 2018, 06:43 PM) Get RM20 for 2Gb data... 30DAYS2GB to 28882 Yes. That sounds like the best way until i help him port to xox. Get 2 years long term validity... EXP2 to 28882 |
