Hey readers, it's the end of April so we're back with our monthly compilation. As usual, we're starting off with the list of best mobile prepaid plans. Here are the best mobile prepaid plans for the budget-conscious as of April 2023.

 

Best prepaid options under RM30

Compared to March 2023's update, there were no changes to the under RM30 category. Prices remained the same and there weren't any new promos. As such, those with a low monthly budget should stick to the Digi Prepaid Next 15 plan. It's just RM15/month for 6GB of data, but it's not bad if you're a light user.

For those with more to spend, check out the unity/perpaduan packages. You get a nice chunk of 30GB of data for just RM30, which is a great deal. Moreover, the validity is 180 days and you can stack up unused data. Yoodo's Makcik Bawang combo is also a good option.

Hotlink Streaming (RM25/month) - 15GB high-speed data, unlimited high-speed streaming for selected apps (6 am to 6 pm), 30-day validity

Digi Prepaid NEXT 30 (RM30/month) - 20GB high-speed data, unlimited social media (TikTok/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook), 2GB wireless hotspot, 30-day validity

Best prepaid options under RM60

Moving on, we have the under RM60/month range. While there were no changes in this category, Yes 5G is running a NCT Dream contest for its prepaid service. The price for this contest-related Prepaid SIM Pack is RM40, but it doesn't offer anything different.

Anyway, those looking for good deals should still go for the Hotlink Pantas plan. It has a plan that offers 30GB data with a 20GB bonus you can claim, giving you 50GB in total for just RM35. This promo will last till 30 June 2023, so don't miss out.

If you want unlimited hotspot instead, the plan you should check out is U Mobile's Prepaid U40 plan. This plan also provides unlimited 4G data, plus unlimited 4G/5G data during the weekends. It's a good option if you don't need high Internet speeds, and don't want to worry about the data cap.
