5 Most Affordable Postpaid Plans in Malaysia
For many Malaysians, a postpaid plan means convenience and better value in the long run. But with so many options on the market, the word “affordable” can mean different things. Some plans keep prices extremely low, while others give you more data or features for the ringgit you pay.
We reviewed the latest offers from official telco websites and picked five postpaid plans that each stand out for being the most affordable in their own category.
1. redONE 5G Postpaid18 – RM18/month
This is the cheapest postpaid plan in Malaysia. At just RM18, it keeps costs as low as possible, offering a simple plan for those who need very light data and basic connectivity.
What you get:
- 10GB of 5G/4G data
- Unlimited calls to all networks
- Hotspot from your main quota
- No contract required
Why it is different:
No other telco currently offers a postpaid plan this cheap. It strips things down to the essentials, making it perfect for a secondary line or for people who only need minimal usage. If you do need more from it though, various addons are available.
2. Hotlink Postpaid 30 – RM30/month
Hotlink’s entry-level plan is the most affordable way to get both unlimited calls and SMS on postpaid. It adds 5G access at full speed, even though the data quota is modest.
What you get:
- 5GB of 4G/5G data
- Unlimited calls and SMS
- No speed cap while data lasts
Why it is different:
At RM30, it is the lowest-priced postpaid plan that already includes both unlimited calls and SMS. You pay slightly more than redONE, but the unlimited calls and SMS makes it decent for heavy talkers and old school texters.
3. OneXOX Postpaid B33 – RM33/month
This plan is the most affordable balance between data, calls, and hotspot use. For just RM33, you get a solid data allowance plus hotspot flexibility on 5G.
What you get:
- 150GB of 5G/4G data
- Unlimited calls
- Hotspot enabled
- Free 2 months for customers who stay
Why it is different:
At this price, no other telco gives you as much data bundled with hotspot and unlimited calls. It is the cheapest option for those who want both good data and the freedom to tether on 5G. At time of writing, OneXOX is also bundling in deals such as Touch ‘n Go eWallet credit as well as 3 months of Viu Premium.
4. U Mobile Ultra Postpaid 45 – RM45/month
This plan is the most bang-for-buck balance between data, calls, SMS and hotspot use. For just RM45, you get a very large data allowance plus hotspot flexibility on 5G.
What you get:
- 500GB of 5G/4G data
- Unlimited calls and SMS
- Ultra Hotspot 5G support
- Free Priority Pass
Why it is different:
This is perhaps the best value option if you want just one SIM for not just your phone but also as your on-the-go internet hotspot, like for your laptop or gaming handheld. It not only gives you 500GB of data with hotspot, but also one free Ultra 5G Priority Pass (network slicing) and at time of writing, RM50 in Touch ‘n Go eWallet credit if you get it online.
5. Yes Infinite Basic (with contract) – RM38/month
If your main concern when shopping for a postpaid plan is data for your smartphone and nothing else, then the Yes Infinite Basic postpaid plan is the cheapest unlimited postpaid plan in Malaysia.
What you get:
- Unlimited 5G/4G data
- Unlimited calls
- 20GB hotspot
- Free unlimited roaming in Singapore
Why it is different:
If you don’t rely heavily on the hotspot access, then the Yes Infinite Basic is perhaps the undisputed value option here, thanks to the unlimited 5G/4G data Yes is offering. While it normally costs RM58/month, if you sign a 12-month contract you’ll only need to pay RM38/month. Yes is also throwing in some freebies such as unlimited roaming in Singapore as well as ILMUchat Pro access.
