Posted: Dec 01, 2008 | Views: 2,902 | Bookmark and Share

Most of the people in Malaysia choose to use prepaid mobile phone services as it is a lot more convenience than using postpaid services. Queueing and paying bills may not be a favourite thing to do and that contributes to why they love prepaid services more than they do with postpaid services. There are two major players in Malaysia and they are Maxis Hotlink Prepaid and Celcom Xpax or Celcom Blue.



Maxis Hotlink has a good track records in terms of its wonderful services as well the reception. It is easy to identify whether it is a maxis hotlink number or not by looking at its prefix numbers which is 012 and 017. However, the latest development in Mobile Number Portability (MNP) might change this perception in the future where you may not be able to guess whether it is a maxis number or not.



The best service that is offerred through this maxis prepaid service is Activ10 where you can list down a total of 10 maxis hotlink numbers that you prefer, perhaps for your family and friends, and you will then enjoy a lower call rate whenever you call them. It costs only 15 cents per minute and only a cent for texting. Celcom numbers on the other hand can easily be recognized by their prefix which is 019. However, after merging with TM, the national telecommunication service provider, they have another prefix which is 013.



Their famous prepaid service is Celcom Xpax and they have just released their new prepaid package Celcom Blue. The celcom blue package has a similar service like hotlink activ10 service which they call it as "Teman 20" where you are allowed to add a total 20 celcom numbers and later enjoy flat rate of 15 cents per minute when you call your friends or family.



Same cost applied to video calls and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and this could be one of the best offers. Another feature that is great too is their loyalty plan where you can collect points whenever you reload or top up your phone. These points can be redeemed for free airtimes, free hundreds of SMS and also can be exchanged for downloadable multimedia contents.



It might be difficult which is the best prepaid service to use but the basic criteria that should be taken into consideration is how well the reception is either you are in the urban areas or when you are at the countryside. Celcom by far has better reception and they really work hard to achieve better performance.



Maxis Hotlink prepaid service is popular among youngsters as the plans offered are within their budget; especially their Hotlink SMS plan. They have great promotion strategies and they have managed to dominate few levels of audience to choose their services. If you use the service and you find yourself in trouble, you can always call up their customer careline; and their representatives are extremely nice.



There are a lot other unique features and value-added services offerred by both Maxis Hotlink and Celcom Blue. So if you have planned to take either one of them, I recommend you to choose carefully and put your needs as priority number one and you should be fine.
