--the Maxis Hotlink "Active 5" is meant only for Maxis to Maxis ... :D ...
--lately DiGi "6 family & friends" just meant for DiGi to DiGi only.. :D ....

desailly83
01-09-03, 14:04
if suddenly celcom comes out wif something like that ... but meant for celcom to any local operator ... i'd get celcom man hehe

i only have about 3 frens in my whole phonebook who use digi ... this sux man .... feel like getting hotlink cuz the sms sent from maxis to maxis is 10 sens now ... thats quite captivating ...

although digi send to any operator is now 15sens ... pretty cheap i guess considering maxis raise the price of sending sms to other operators to 20sens already

bdl
01-09-03, 15:07
--for most active prepaid... 1st should be DiGi ...2nd is Maxis ...,they are very aggressive in promotions... :D ... :cool: ...

desailly83
01-09-03, 19:51
cuz digi more consumers on prepaid rather than postpaid .... unfortunately maxis is like the nation's favourite ... i tihnk hehe :)

--yap...Maxis was rated No.1 in Malaysia in term of subscribers... .. :D ....

But too bad their rates are also the Nation's No. 1.... If their price was lower a little, they'll rule. Digi's prepaid reload rules are also much more favorable to the casual phone user like me.... Each month top up RM30 also still can accumulate balance. Hai....

bdl
03-09-03, 10:12
---yap... teewan.. you're right Maxis prepaid starter pack is the highest rpice... starting from rm238... drop down to rm123...
--now at rm88 but still the highest among all the prepaid...
-- Maxis Hotlink still carry forward your balance if you reload within 30 days after expiry date .... :D ....

--bdl do we need to upgrade to beyound prepaid?--- by nemesic

--yes... desailly83 ... the new Beyond PrePaid ... no more peak and off peak rate...
--what they have for the new pack is Automatic Adjusting Rate ... :D ...
-- it's all depend on the amount of usage each month from 1st up to the end of the month...

-- from rm0 - rm30 call charge at the rate of 50 sen/min...(old 60 sen/min)
--from rm30.01 - rm60 call charge at 45 sen/min ....
--from rm60 above would be at 40 sen/min.. 24 hours thro out...for local call ONLY.. ...

-- 6 preset numbers for DiGi Family & Friends still at 40 sen/min....... :D ...
--then for outsation call through out Malaysia now at rm1.20/min ...
--for normal call from North to South of Peninsila Malaysia is rm1.50/min...

--yes... nemesic ... you had to call 016-2211800 to upgrade...

desailly83
24-09-03, 11:48

i think i mainly use my phone for sms oni ler ... so ... for me i think no need to upgrade better since can get the peak and off peak rates ... ?

but then again ... if i upgrade .. then my calls all are 50 sens oni wo ... how how how ... need sifu bdl to show the ways hehe

bdl
24-09-03, 13:09
--if your monthly usage is less than rm50.. better stick to the old one...
--for both sms is still 15sen/per message at 160 charactor...

nemesic
26-09-03, 15:59
--yes... nemesic ... you had to call 016-2211800 to upgrade...

call that phone no talk with operator or automatic upgrade?

nemesic
26-09-03, 16:00
i think i better stick with the old digi prepaid plus now coz my phono bill not over 30 one!

laytiong
26-09-03, 20:09

bdl
26-09-03, 21:01

desailly83
27-09-03, 03:04
but got the offpeak and peak rates ma ...
12-7pm is 40 sens oni ... ah.... think of it that way :)

bdl
27-09-03, 10:00
---yes... the old package got off peak... from 12pm till 7pm from Monday to Saturday ...
--off peak whole day on Sunday ...40sen/min .... the rest of the hour 60sen/min.... ... :D ...

--the new "beyond prepaid" ...started with 50sen/min ... no more off peak rate...
--they had the new Automatic Adjusting Rate ... :D ...
-- both still had the Friends & Family ...at 40sen/min ..NationWide ...

--also the new package only had 2 zone call charges...
--local calls or outstation calls... the Automatic Adjusting Rate apply only for lacal calls..

--for example previously call from Penang to Johore Bharu was rm2.40/min ... now new package...
--rm1.20/min... ...even to Sabah or Sarawak... :D ...

nemesic
27-09-03, 12:23
oh then better use old digi prepaid plus!

bdl
27-09-03, 14:32
--so better think properly before you upgrade... for less than rm50 usage per month....
--better stick to the old-one... once upgrade to new package, ...cannot turn back anymore... :D ... :D ....

desailly83
27-09-03, 15:39
hehehe ...

nemesic
27-09-03, 22:33

desailly83
27-09-03, 23:00

ceo684
03-10-03, 19:02
nope...u need the dual sim holder..

2 line at same time :-/ maybe for billing - but Orange UK has Line 2 service - 2lines on one SIM - cos Orange is 1800Mhz

desailly83
04-10-03, 03:29
huh?? thats interesting ... meaning?? u can have 2 numbers on ur phone?? but digi is also on 1800Mhz ....

nemesic
04-10-03, 13:59
what is dual band and triband mean?can anyone explain?

bdl
04-10-03, 18:13
what is dual band and triband mean?can anyone explain?

--Dual Band = 900 & 1800 mHz....
--tri-band for use in United States = 900 , 1800 & 1900 mHz... :D .....

nemesic
05-10-03, 20:16
900 & 1800 use in malaysia only?

bdl
06-10-03, 09:35
---only United States...using 1900mHz...in Malaysia we are using 900 and 1800mHz only... :D ...

nemesic
06-10-03, 15:41
oh... i see

ceo684
06-10-03, 18:16
Orange UK network = 2 # on 1 physical SIM. Also called ALS (Alternate Line Service). AFAIK its only for billing (contract) Orange users. USA (Wash DC area ONLY) has some Orange 1800 service...but no 900 at all :p

allenultra
08-10-03, 00:07
I think wait for few months or a year........
we will have cheaper call tariff or lower access fee..........

maybe access fee is free in the future
