After topping up my credit, I purchased a 365 days Active Period pass on the same day. Why does my active date remain the same after purchasing the 365 days SIM Validity pass?
The active days is calculated from the purchase date of the 365 days Active Period pass. The active days will be calculated on the furthest date between the 2 dates.
Example: On January 1st 2022 you have Top up RM30 and purchased the 365 days SIM Validity pass on the same day, your active period will be extended to December 31st 2022(365 days from January 1st).
Finalize the cost for 365days Active + Internet :
Sim = RM10
Data (4GB) =RM10
or
Data (10GB) =RM20
The 365 days Active Period pass =RM30
RM10+RM10+RM30 = RM50( 4GB Internet)
RM10+RM20+RM30 = RM60( 10GB Internet)
