WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO HOTSPOT/TETHERING YOU'LL JUST END UP WITH MULTIPLE PREPAID SIMs

Ok now that we got that out of the way, this is how I juggle between prepaid plans.

Digi - RM15 Cili Padi 6GB Unlimited Youtube n Facebook

Pros - can hotspot my phone and watch youtube via iPad or TV via appleTV connecting to the hotspot.

Cons - Apart from Social media n Free Youtube thats about it. 6GB isn't that much but for RM15 consider ok lar

Celcom - RM 12 Unlimited Weekly with 1Gb hotspot (yucks)

Pro- Have to swap n use sim card to update apps, firmware, or watch netflix on iPad.

Cons - It sucks because the current number is my main line. So when put inside iPad no calls receive...

Yoodo 20GB + call/sms + 20GB Netlfix

Pros - iPad walkabout sim... For watching netflix OTG
Cons - Redundant with Celcom Xpax Unlimited

Hotlink - Didn't bother with them... Using maxis/hotlink for so long, none of their data plan is worth it except for One Home Unlimited postpaid.

So in short, with the limit of hotspot/tethering, expect to buy multiple simcard for multiple usage... Why can't these bloody telco just enable tethering??? Is it so hard to do?

Wow, how you get VIP badge?
Consider for home fiber and postpaid since you using multi devices?

Dunno... Maybe lowyat boss give hahaha

Postpaid out of question... Join telco blacklist recently... Being a maxis customer since 1999 with One Club elite status, MCO comes to effect, got UPL, cannot pay monthly bill, terus they terminate... The most frustrating part is, not only my number used for everything from google, facebook, appleid, online bankin TAC, and what not, my moms phone number since 2000 also terminated because her maxis number was under my name...

3x phone numbers, 1 home broadband account all terminated. FU maxis...

to control abuser.

i calculate your cost per month.

digi rm15 + celcom rm48 + yoodo rm38 = rm103

better subscribe unifi air rm79 for all data usage.

celcom mnp to xox for call/sms only.

cheaper than your current monthly cost.

Unifi postpaid just RM59 for 2 years contract, unlimited calls, data, sms...

If that unifi postpaid then forget it, telco BL

QUOTE(GEN.2 @ Jun 28 2020, 09:58 PM)
Digi can allow hotspot for youtube? The unlimited youtube tested until how many Gb usage will get throttle down?
*
Dunno... Never throttled... Keeps going since april till now on my TV, my iPad, and my phone...

Doesn't have a data cap but speed cap is definitely there... Dont expect to stream smoothly at 720p and above...

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Jun 28 2020, 10:28 PM)
They dont offer tethering because you can subscribe 1 share tons of device. While they only allow one device you need to subscribe the plan forΒ  multiple device = profit.

I put my HUP45 in my ipad immediately can do everything you listed above.
*
I understand that notion but although I can have 4/5 device connected via hotspot, I cant use them all at ones right... Unless its a PC or playstation, where can download tons of GBs of data while using ipad or phone for browsing facebook or watching youtube

Haihhhh if only my TV or AppleTV can somehow cucuk simcard.... Haihhhh...

For Digi - RM15 Cili Padi, how do you get 6GB Unlimited Youtube?

Since too many people spend the data on videos, telco should just come out with a tethering plan that throttles all popular video streaming sites to 256kbps.  whistling.gif

In Jan 2019, while being blacklisted by Maxis, I could still subscribe to UMobile postpaid GX50 phone plan. Maybe the smaller celcos and MVNOs accept BL subscribers for postpaid.

Already try my luck last week with Digi, kenot... Detects me got telco BL by Maxissssss

QUOTE(wilson1stop @ Jun 29 2020, 11:35 AM)

Don't you want to get your old number back? The old number is precious to your mom, perhaps you should work on that first

how about wifi hotspot ? still same with RM1 unlimited internet plan?

Most probably 5 to 10gb max if they generous enough..

For digi, we can still register for postpaid even we are blacklisted. But we need to stay longer from their prepaid section with good monthly reloaded. Me tried 2 nos from. digi and both succeeded.
For celcom, any agent from telcolab can do it with minimal fee but the due must not more than rm2k.
Maxis however, not possible at all.
*
Nope... I tried recently Digi no go... Detected blacklist, trus the customer service amoi say very softly, "encik saya sudah cek system, encik ada outstanding di Celcom dan sistem ckp encik kena settle sana dulu lepas tuh baru kita boleh proceed...

A nice way of putting" Haiyaaa encik u blacklist lagi ada hati mau register Digi... Shouuhh shouhhh πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Are you trying to register prepaid or postpaid?

From his experience, he uses prepaid plan and is contacted from digi staff giving him the promotion to upgrade to postpaid even when he is blacklisted

Try to register my reserve prepaid digi number to postpaid becauae sick of topupping every month and not using. A number I had since 2010...

I didn't get the digi staff call scenario, i just walk in digi center and try my luck. 🚢🀞

QUOTE(powerwoot @ Jul 1 2020, 09:33 PM)
I upgrade my no. twice, for digi must be from their prepaid upgraded to postpaid. Both successful. Try to upgrade via online, the result will be rejected but somehow few days later sales person from digi called and offer the upgrade.
Kalau pergi digi center memang kena shouh shouh la 🀣🀣

Owh well it seems that i need to wait for the sales person frim digi to offer me then.. 😴😴

Ahh reserve number, that's why

They didn't see you committing to monthly plan

Afraid you wouldn't pay later on

But their ARPU will increase because you want to change to postpaid so I dunno lol
*
To ensure i stop topupping i sub to the yearly activation RM108 so i no need to topup monthly...

Btw, its not maxis who blacklist me, it was celcom back from 2002...🧐πŸ₯΄πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Mine blacklisted by celcom too, way back somewhere during the 3G era. When a digi people called me up to offer me postpaid from my current prepaid, I told her that I have default payment with celcom. She said digi know that, and that matter is between me and celcom but since I am committed 'beautifully' with digi prepaid, I am chosen to have the green light 🀭. The upgrade process took just within a minute and received sms that I am with new plan, the postpaid.

Mine is a register postpaid n get free phone... After digging some history i found out that the reason behind my blaclist is because my brother wanted to get a Nokia 3315 with low cash upfront...

I remember vaguely but he said that he would get the phone this month and would cancel the plan n pay up for the phone in full... Which he failed to do apparently...
