Yes, still got Digi. But that's the info from my research last Dec. Haven't look into Digi for sometime, so just post a short info for short trips usage.

When go work in China next week for the next 10 weeks, will try put these info in excel sheet.

IMDA: 2G network services in Singapore will cease on 1st April 2017

Just a reminder...

Those of us dual-SIM phone users who have been keeping our Malaysian (or any other foreign country) SIM card (that allows roaming) in Slot 2, will be affected by the upcoming 2G network shutdown.

IMDA: 2G Network services in Singapore will cease on 1st April 2017

If you have not changed to a 4G/3G-enabled (or soon to be enabled) dual-SIM phone should you want to continue keeping your foreign line on, the article will give you more information on what to expect and do.

For more discussions and recommended replacement phones, you can refer to the Mobile Communication Technology forum.

Thank you for the information.

My phone is a dual sim - 4G / 3G setup. I'm safe. :)

Those with dual sim - 4G / 2G or 3G / 2G will have do get a new 4G / 3G phone fast with 2 more days left to go. Else, you will not be able to communicate with your Thai gf... Kekeke.

DiGi Free 1GB Ready for Redemption

Remember this promo? Free 1GB with New MyDiGi App

Just to share that I've received the SMS today, to redeem the second 1GB within the next 3 days.

Info for those of you who don't roam with your DiGi card. :)

can someone recommend me a prepaid line to sign up for data?
i will be going to JB every Sunday and so will need a line to keep myself entertained when crossing the causeway.

I see Digi has a 1 day 150MB data plan for 3RM and that is cheap enough for me le, but I am concerned about keeping the number alive.
how often do I need to top up the card to keep the number?

so when I enter JB, I just have to dial a USSD code to activate the 1 day plan? is there a need for me to unsubscribe the 1 day plan when I leave JB?

Thanks everyone

I'm using digi. With each topup, the line is active for 1 week. It can remain inactive for 3 months.

Yes, you'll need to unsubscribe the data plan.

A grace period of 3 months sounds like DiGi Live, 90 days. AFAIK, DiGi Best is 75 days. :)

Validity from a reload is usually RM1 for 1 day. With DiGi Best (no idea about DiGi Live) there's a Super Long Life (they should really rename this, after the removal of 365 and 30-day ones from the latest version) for 1 day which can be used just to reactivate the line in order to reset the grace period. (@blade87, method been shared there by other members not too long ago, so I won't go into it again).

And thanks to the Pokemon craze, DiGi (again, Best, don't know about Live so check their webby if you like) still has the offer for 300MB valid for 1 day @RM1. I subscribe to this from the MyDigi app, and there's no auto-renewal (don't need to unsubscribe).

DiGi Prepaid Plans

Pack (initial) validity for DiGi Best is 30 days, DiGi Live is 7 days.

Going Malacca for 4 days so hotlink the best prepaid now?
As long west malaysia, hotlink so far has best coverage.

Umobile and Digi throwing data deals like no tomorrow but only work best in the cities.

No sure about UMobile but my DIGI Best worked well even in those rural areas.

Yup, DiGi has improved lots on their coverage.

For those 4 days in Melaka, can just choose Hotlink or DiGi depending on your usage pattern and whatever freebies you can dig from a new SIM pack.
