Hey guys,
I have Maxis on my main phone. So daily usage is not a problem. I also want to avoid turning on hotspot on my main device, to preserve battery.
My situation:
* I have a 2nd phone with 2 simcards on celcom xpax. The sim cards are just there to maintain the number.
* 1 of the sim card is attached to work whatsapp (group) which I have messages coming in periodically.
* Currently I buy the RM1 validity (each sim) every 49 days or so to extend the grace period of the sim for another 50 days.
Now I am moving around more often than being in the office, therefore I would like to get a data plan on 1 of the celcom sim card, without having to turn on the hotspot on my main phone. I don't need much data, just need to have whatsapp messages coming in. What plan would be best for me? 1 Celcom Sim has RM4 credit inside, so I don't mind porting out to another telco that has a 1 year validity + good enough data plan without too much of a cost. The other sim, I'll maintain with Celcom for now as it has about RM30+ credit which I don't want to waste by porting out.
The data plan can be as minimal as possible, just enough to receive whatsapp messages as I would still be on wifi 80% of the time.

QUOTE(stevenlee @ Jul 23 2024, 03:33 PM) not sure what is the total price you pay for now. I on xox mysiswa plus RM39 for main line and Rm10 for sub line come with 90GB data share, unlimited call and 100 SMS as long as you turn on auto debit, you dont hv to worry about validity. i not sure if auto debit will hv additional rebate as i just get mine not long ago Is the RM39 billed monthly?

QUOTE(stevenlee @ Jul 23 2024, 03:42 PM) ya bill monthly. if your main line is expensive than this why not converting together. previously my kid also on prepaid and keep on extending validity for my kid phone. need to keep remember the date when it due. prepaid are more trouble as they hv money/ value validity and sim card validity... end up, i convert 4 line (3 kid phone and 1 car entertainment sim) to xox and it bill monthly for just RM39+10+10+10. with that, i dont hv to remember validity and worry of their data not enough as i need data to track my kid location 24/7 for their safety Thank you. This will come in handy in the future. At the moment my main line is being paid by our company, so don't really want to disturb that one for now
