News & Reviews:   Prepaid

Last week, we talked about Maxis releasing a new Hotlink Postpaid and Fibre plan but the company didn't forget about the prepaid customers too. Currently on sale, existing and new prepaid Hotlink users can look forward to the new Hotlink Prepaid Internet 365 plan. From as low as RM6, Hotlink prepaid users can enjoy the mobile plan all year round. 

If you missed out on the previous Digi Jaringan Prihatin offer, no worries - they are back. Digi just announced that the programme has been extended until 31 August 2021 for Malaysians who are eligible under the Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat requirements. On top of that, two new smartphones have been added to the roster which is the Samsung Galaxy A12 and Xiaomi Redmi 9A. 

As some of you already know, the Jaringan Prihatin Programme has already begun on 5 May and all the telco brands have already started to launch their own plans for the Rakyat. We have posted some news from YES 4G not too long ago but more telco brands are releasing theirs. With this, we figured that we will just make a compilation of all the Prihatin packages.

In this compilation, we have YES 4G, Yoodo, Digi, Celcom, Maxis and U Mobile. Without further ado, check out the Jaringan Prihatin Package comparison below!

Besides the general inconvenience, the global pandemic-induced movement control order (MCO) has had severe economical effects. That's why some companies are looking for ways to "balance the books", so to say. One of them would be Maxis, which has been throttling the Internet speed for some of its Hotlink users.

Today, U Mobile has announced that the 2021 SPM/STPM Special Data Package will be available for U Mobile prepaid users who are in institutions of higher learning. This is part of a joint industry initiative, under the Perlindungan Ekonomi dan Rakyat Malaysia (PERMAI) Assistance Package announced by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin recently this week.

While MCMC have officially stated that the free 1GB Internet data provided by Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U Mobile will only be available in between 8AM - 6PM, many users thought that time limit is a bit of a letdown. Moreover, this applies to both postpaid and prepaid customers but not to Yoodo. Thanks to one of our readers, it has come to our attention that Yoodo users can use their free 1GB Internet data any time and anywhere. 

Today Digi has announced that the new MyDigi Rewards will have even more rewards and deals every single day. MyDigi Rewards, which is exclusively available on the MyDigi app for more than 11.7 million Digi customers would be able to get deals and rewards from more than 500 brands brands across Malaysia.

If you are getting tired topping up your prepaid service every week due to the validity period, TuneTalk is here to the rescue. They have just introduced a new prepaid plan that is valid for a year! Better yet, it comes with 36GB of data, or around 3GB a month. 

If you need that extra data to use in the holy month of Ramadhan, DiGi has it covered for you. They have two different data packs on offer – one is for RM9 and the other for RM 35. Both adds data to the prepaid account – the first adds 1.2GB while the second adds 3GB.
