they will say that they xannot check in real-time, you will have to wait for bill to be generated, then only can raise dispute over specific line item.

dah masak sangat perangai telco.

What plan can recommend?

I was a DIGI prepaid owner since the before smartphone never started. Same number till now..
Only started to change into CelcomDigi Prepaid 5G under Celcom (Even though they merge, they still seperate Celcom and Digi, each of the provide different plans and packages) because I only wanted Unlimited data and 5G line even though I didn't care about the 5G speed is truly 5G or not.
Took their Unlimited pass - 5G for RM39 per month when it was under promotion.

Now they offer Unlimited pass - 5G for RM49 per month tho.. but I'm still under RM39 unless I change my plan again hehe

Not so lucky if you have any linked cards.
Better clear all important information and delete the account

Make sure you register telegram and set 2FA/password. Someone claimed my number and there was no SMS!!! He set up password so it takes 1 week to delete and reclaim account.

Yesterday (20/8/24) received an activation key from ARAMEX around 2:04am and then today (21/8/24) received verification code from Disney + Hotstar around 6:13am.

I suspect my phone got hacked or someone using my mobile phone number for something.

Anyone got any suggestion how to handle this?

this is like someone spoofed or cloned your phone number. The only other way I see this happening is to terminate the number.

Although I have not suffer this before, I suspect phone have to be factory reset.
Disconnect phone, change passwords, password everything.

Conclusion: I have used Bitdefender, TrendMicro and Spyware detector (all downloaded from GooglePlay) to scan for malware and spyware, nothing cropped up.

Although the there are several attempts requesting verification/activation code/account opening (ARAMEX, Disney Hotstar, Shoopee and Lazada) and last an attempt to attack my whatapp.

It looks like they may have my personal information (from those many many many data leaks Malaysia is famous for) but they are unable to complete the final mile i.e. 2 factor authentication, password recover, obtain OTP.

Also, all this happened recently, I got a new scam caller offering stock tips: number is +1 6503324931 / +1320 52 9700 . Normally, I pick up and play silent mode just to screw with these scammers.

Somehow or rather, they decided to play reverse Uno and harass me with calls and OTP request.

this is actually my 1st thought reading thru this thread
someone being too free/vindictive

but carefully read thru all email/message, can be covering whatever they really doing with your info.

I know right, scammer being vindictive cause I wasted his time. Jeez, get a life!

Truecaller is the one siphoning your data and all the numbers on your phone contact list and selling/giving it away.

Maybe telco can implement some filter that only approved people can contact our numbers.

Those who want to call us need to authenticate and get our approval (something like WeChat) before they call

well nowadays many places that they could just subscribe on something and put any phone number or email.

Trust me my backup emails are even receiving bladdy phone bills, bank statements and some other billing statements.
