'wallet'? You can top up credit to ookyo, yes, but the main RM30 (+6%) per month must be paid by CC. The top up credit is for buying add-ons only.

No.

currently i'm using celcom prepaid. every month i will top up rm50.
1- rm30 is for monthly internet (5gb for a month + 15gb for initial 3days)
2- the balance rm20 is for normal call and sms

by comparing what i listed above to ookyo, what are the cons and pros celcom prepaid vs ookyo. mostly i use phone to open lowyat forum and reading email.

With ookyo you will pay RM31.80 (30+6%) for 8GB data (promo, will be down to 5GB after March, maybe).

You can add on another RM8 (no 6% charged on this) for unlimited call/SMS. This amount comes from hotlink-style topup (meaning can buy from Lazada or any hotlink top-up vendor like 7-11).

Total spend RM39.80 per month. If 5/8GB is not enough, there are add-ons, but those add up the cost really quickly. Currently its:-
RM7 for 1 week 1GB
RM3 for 1 day 2GB
RM1 for 1 hour 500MB

So the best way to use ookyo is to take advantage of the 4 unlimited apps. Unfortunately if all you do is open lowyat forum and read email, there's no way to do that. Then again if that's all you do I don't think you ever use 5GB a month....

Most importantly though you should test the maxis line in your area. Any time you consider changing telco must test that first. Get a cheap hotlink sim card to test (or borrow from someone).

thank you for a very good explanation. i know maxis has ggod coverage. i was using maxis about 13 years ago before switch to celcom because there was better plan in celcom compare to maxis at that time.
another question from me for ookyo:
1. let take example i take 4 unlimited apps: youtube, whatsapp, facebook, instagram
2. with remaining 5gb/8gb i can still use to open lowyat forum and read email correct?

Yes

Anybody here is still using ookyo?

I wanna ask if it is really worth switching. I see reviews many people complaining and giving 1 star...is it really that bad?

i hv been using it for a few months..
so far so good..
as long as u choose the 4 apps that u use the most data..
then the remaining 5GB or 8GB will last u for the whole month..
plus every month u will get 10% rebate for google credit..

I m still using it from the very beginning.

iOS can use this Ookyo? I see the website says not support iOS?

Technically you can use ookyo on IOS device. Data voice call all works. But the only thing that doesn't work on IOS is the VPN app.
For unlimited call packages on iOS, its working too. Just to have to use an Android phone and go in the app to subscribe

Maybe the early days it's very bad. Some minor quirks are still here and there. But I think now it's improved and for my usage experience it's really good. Some more paid rm39 for unlimited call + 8Gb + 4 free apps. Really really competitive pricing

Yes it's very bad. Please don't use it people who give 1 star ratings are all correct. Just ignore all the comments/advise given in this thread, not reliable one, better trust the google play reviews.

switched from celcom to ookyo since dec 2018, never look back. now porting another number from digi to ookyo.

Their support team is always like hit or miss case..
I have made advance payment few hours before my grace period starts. Apparently TnC if u want to do advance payment it has to be 25 hours before grace period??? Like wth 😡
Then after midnight my line straight went into grace... I thought I paid advance and yet this still happens. So raise a ticket with support and morning 8.30am got a reply. So started messaging back and forth. Respond time was around 20-30mins. Got happy sikit la thinking finally they will help me activate my line immediately.

Long story short after a whole day of waiting with no data and outgoing call, I got fed up with the support team action and decided to purchase the manual renew plan during 7pm. Then line came back active.

Then message support team just drop the ticket lol

So far so good. My wife and dad is on ookyo now.

i have 2 ookyo numbers now, anyone knows if i can transfer the wallet $$$ from one to the other? the feature says it's coming soon, but when??

i wouldnt dare to introduce to my parents(not so tech kind parents). No hotline customer care, VPN need to auto kick in etc. Good for young lads or savvy tech people as cumbersome renew

Does the VPN drain batt? Planning to try...

It does drain. About 10% overnight.

They have an FAQ on the site which explains it. In my experience (and other users here) it doesn't really drain more than your phone would normally drain. I've used it on an old XiaoMi and old Samsung with dying batteries when I was just switching from Digi, and battery life did not reduce noticeably.

If Maxis connection is poor then it will drain a lot as your apps keep trying (and failing) to connect, but this is not different from normal battery drain with poor data.
