free 3gb is once only after activation, not free 3gb monthly. Free 3gb has no time limit, stay there until use up 3gb.

Dear All,

I have one old number which I use primarily for whatsapp. I dont need any data/voice on this, its just to keep active for banking OTP and whatsapp code if ever needed.

What is the best way to keep a number active like this in Malaysia?

p/s : Currently I already have the ONEXOX prepaid, the first 28months validity will expire soon, I can extend it here, but I want to move on as this carrier also have network connection issues, and SMS comes in delayed everything.

Please advise.

unifi mobile is not like others prepaid use topup to maintain the validity. it will reset if u use data/call out/sms within 90days. before expired u will get sms/email.

OneXOX extend validity:
6 Months Validity Extension (RM18):
Key in VALID < space > 6 and send to either 23388 or 22111
12 Months Validity Extension (RM25):
Key in VALID< space > 12 and send to either 23388 or 22111

Yes, that's roughly like paying RM2 a month for a year, not bad. Data balance doesn't expire so you can continue to slowly use it (smallest/minimum block to use is 500MB) if you need to.

I initially took up the 28 months validity promo (along with 10GB data) which will end Feb 2024 and currently still have 6GB data balance. So after that I just need to extend it for a year @ RM25 without needing to get any additional data, I only pay for more data when the balance eventually runs out as I slowly from time to time use it as needed.

I don't think it's too costly way to keep the number, only problem with OneXOX is the line isn't that great, but with no contract required just need to find the best post paid offer to jump out OneXOX for my other line.

i use the xox in my car's gps modem
now they gave another 36months extra upon succesfull registration (have to claim in the apps)
so in total it is 5 years validity
just need to topup/use it every 6 months
since i put it inside car gps so it's daily used
will topup rm30 (5gb data) or rm50 (10gb) later to buy season pass data and it will auto deduct 500mb monthly until all data from season pass depleted done.

I didn't see that 36 months extra, I will have to check again. But that's pretty nice for 5 years. So far I haven't top up at all since the first time I bought it and paid for the 10 GB plan. I turn off the auto deduct thing, I prefer to do it manually since I hardly use it. How much data does the car GPS use in a month? More than 500MB?

for the gps data, used daily around 20-30mb depending on uptime (usually around 3-4hours uptime, meaning driving time)
the smallest plan is 500mb daily so that will have to do lah
