From digi postpaid to digi prepaid, I did it at the digi center. It took about 5 mins per line (I had 3 numbers to convert) and no new sim was given.

Wow thanks.

Last question, how do you make sure your prepaid not expired, without manually renewing them?

Can autopay ka?

Digi prepaid has monthly auto-renew plans, just need to topup and make sure your line has enough $.

Not sure about autopay, but I top up RM30 per line on the 1st of every month to be safe.

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 credit is only used to pay for the monthly plan. Local calls are unlimited and my mom/wife/son do not send SMS. Honestly, I’ve never been in that situation, all my 3 lines always have at least RM30-40 credit.

Do check the digi prepaid FAQ or ask the digi CS advisor.

I topup via cc and eWallet, usually.

Well... Celcom Digi 5g is a joke. Only high tear postpaid customer is given uncapped speed. prepaid and lower tear customers are second class.

Money talks after all. There are other telcos to choose from anyway.

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

Maybe because new phones all cannot support 4G?

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).

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

I remember reading that our telcos collectively now own 65% of DNB.
