No More Prepaid Validity

kroul2 — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 20:05:59 +0800

My suggestion is that Malaysian telcos abolish prepaid validity periods, meaning customers can use their services so long as they are in credit. Such systems already exist in other countries such as UK. It does not mean you can keep your number forever and never use it. There would need to be a minimum usage or top up requirement, otherwise line will be terminated/barred as usual. Promotions and subscriptions will still have expiry date.

There are several advantages:

1. Convenience.
-Use when you need to
-No more line barring or worse, terminated even you're in credit
-True pay-as-you-go system
-Easier for outstation people

2. Lower income users benefit. They spend less credit but had to top up regularly to keep line active. Is this actually fair?

3. No more complications
-Example: subscribing to an internet weekly pass today yet having your service cut off say 2 days later due to validity expiry even you already paid for a week of internet will disappear

4. Overall, telcos have been scared of this kind of offering will affect their revenue. I do not think the concern is well founded since each people still has their needs and usage. These people would top up in order to buy data, make a call and SMS etc, so this won't be an issue. Also, remember U Mobile's 3x validity? On the other hand, the lower income user will have the line barred and cannot use their credit unless they top up. These poorer users are deprived the service and will not reload until they have to or can afford to.

5. This is a chance for the telcos to offer something better, simpler and more convenient to their prepaid customers and a step forward in modernising the communication system in Malaysia.

Prepaid Best SMS Rate with Long Validity

kroul2 — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 01:19:26 +0800

As the title speaks, I'm searching for a prepaid with the same or lower sms rate than U Mobile Power Prepaid(8sen/sms). Also, I prefer the longer validity over other things such as internet data(really don't care) and phone calls(although cheap is better). I don't really care about the data as I'm currently using U Mobile Power Prepaid. The plan is really good but I'm searching for any possibilities that a sms plan rate is lower than my current plan.

P/S: I'm using dual-SIM phone, so I do have options

OneXOX vs Altel vs Others

kroul2 — Sat, 29 Aug 2015 14:03:54 +0800

Hello

My phone has dual-sim. Which prepaid telco is the best for me? I use the second sim to make calls and use a little data.
