Depend on which telco. Some need to go to centre, while some can just call their CS and ask for change. How much data is consider enough for you?

My current package is 16gb, but I use less than 5gb a month.

Mostly just tiktok, email, lite surfing, update apps, etc.

I watch tiktok only, I dont upload.

I only need my unlimited voice call the most, because for work.

I using digi postpaid now, so after change online, I no need change my sim right?

Digi postpaid can change to Digi prepaid but need do at centre. I suggest you the Celcom Digi Kuning 25 plan. It has unlimited calls and the data is more than enough.

Sorry as I misunderstood your question. If you refer to same telco and transfer from Postpaid to Prepaid. Not allow in general. To save time, just port out and port in again.

So far I know Maxis and Digi can. Just need to do at respective centre. Old Celcom cannot, need to port out.

I see, if you used up the credit, then call cannot go out right? Can still receive calls?

After top up can re-use? Will not be cut?

What do you use to top up? Credit card? Bank transfer? Cashless app?

The last time I was on Digi prepaid if credit totally 0, mobile data will not work. Not sure if that's still the case now. If you subscribe monthly plan, some of those plans already include unlimited call.
Definitely can receive calls when out of credit. As for reload, can use online banking, CC or Debit card.

I'm currently using Digi Prepaid

I'm subscribe:-

Digi NEXT15 @ RM 15.00 (Data 6GB + 1GB Hotspot)
Unlimited Call @ RM 10.00 for 30 days

Got free:-

Free 6GB monthly
Free-Basic-Internet 500mb monthly
Unlimited Social Data (FB, IG, Twitter, Tiktok) monthly

Total cost only RM 25.00 per month

House got Astro Fibre, Office got Unifi..

Every month only fully utilised free 6gb and still got balance around 5GB from my NEXT15..
*
With same Rm25 on the new prepaid, you get:
- unlimited call.
- 30gb of 4g/5g data.
- 6gb hotspot quota.

The only cons is speed capped to 100mbps.

I see.. so the Celcom Digi Edisi Kuning internet speed will be capped at 100mbps.. but i think if capped to 100mbps, its too slow for 5G..
*
Well... Celcom Digi 5g is a joke. Only high tear postpaid customer is given uncapped speed. prepaid and lower tear customers are second class.

hmm, so why they market 5G so much in these plans?

Maybe because new phones all cannot support 4G?
*
I believe forced by government. Gov wanted so much for 5g user to increase.

I have noticed that some areas have strong 5G signal but weak 4G. Like my mom's place in the middle of Penang island, I get 2 bars of 4G, but full 4 bars of 5G.

Maybe telcos are pushing 5G because of a govt directive, and maybe because they partly own DNB, and possibly due to 5G network expansion being currently more aggressive than 4G.
*
Not really. 4g are build by individual telcos. These individual telcos prioritise profit, so they only build infra in places where there is potential. If one telco already build 4g in that area, others will not prioritise the same area to avoid duplication. Hence some places telco x has a good 4g, telco y has bad reception.
As for 5g, DNB builds it and all telcos are force to use the same infra.

I’m just happy that there is full 5G coverage at my mom’s place now. She has no wired broadband at home so with 5G available in excess of 500mbps, she can comfortably use Yes 5G prepaid (rm30).
*
Yes, that current 5g speed is more than enough for many.

QUOTE(LonelyHart16 @ Jun 14 2024, 04:19 PM)
wow, interesting info.

Who is DNB? Gomen?
*
DNB is an entity wholly owned by MOF and mandated by gov to be the single neutral party to deploy 5G nationwide.

Wow, so they simply deploy 5G infras all over Malaysia using tax money ka?

But who decide where get 5G first and last? Gomen experts? Population density?

Sabah Sarawak and Wilayah too?
*
Yes, nationwide including Sabah Sarawak. How they decide, the funding etc you can try to google.
