Roaming Pass purchased can be only use in the selected participating countries and network. For example, Roam-1Day-RM5-AUS can be used only when you are roaming in Australia.
Can I carry forward or transfer unutilized Roaming Pass balance to another number?
No, all unutilized Roaming Voice minutes or Internet Roaming quota from Roaming Pass cannot be carried forward nor transferred. Your unused Roaming Voice minutes or Internet Roaming quota will automatically expire and be forfeited at the end of the Roaming Pass validity period.
Is Roaming Pass quota valid for domestic use?
No, Roaming Passes are not available for use in Malaysia.
I have purchased an additional Roaming Pass even before my existing pass expired. What happens to my Roaming Pass quota and validity?
The Roaming Pass quota will accumulate with each purchase. The validity period will then apply in accordance with the latest Roaming Pass purchase. For example, if you purchase a Roam-1Day-RM10-NZL pass in New Zealand at 6.00pm, and you then purchase another Roam-1Day-RM10-NZL pass at 11.00pm on the same day before the first pass expires, you will incur a total charge of RM20 (for two passes), and your pass expiry will be on 10.59pm of the following day in New Zealand.

What will happen if I have used up my Roaming Pass Voice minutes and Internet roaming quota?
If your Roam Pass Voice minutes and Internet quota are exhausted within the validity period, any subsequent roaming usages will be charged at standard roaming rates. Alternatively, you may purchase any additional Roaming Pass to continue enjoying Roaming voice calls and Internet roaming.
For Roam-1Day-RM5/RM10, you can still enjoy Unlimited Social Messaging [on any chat based application] even though you have used up the 50MB full speed Internet roaming quota. Should you wish to continue enjoying full speed internet/data roaming on other mediums, you may purchase another Roaming Pass for more quotas

Once you have place booking/purchase for Roaming Pass, it cannot be cancelled/refund.
Can I unsubscribe from a Roaming Pass? What do I do if I no longer wish to have internet/data roaming access?
No, the Roaming Pass will expire automatically when the validity period ends. To avoid being charged with additional roaming rates or fees, you are advised to disable or turn off the 'Data Roaming' or 'Cellular Data/Mobile Data' function on your phone before the validity period expires. You will otherwise then subject to standard international roaming charges.

Yes, but separate charges for both packages will apply. The standard Internet Roaming charges shall apply if your 'Data Roaming' has already been enabled prior to your Roaming Pass purchase.

For example, if you were already roaming on Telstra in Australia with Digi Unlimited Daily Internet Roaming and subsequently purchase Roam-1Day-RM5, you will be charged RM36+RM5= RM41 for the same day. We advise that you enable your 'Data Roaming' or 'Cellular Data/Mobile Data' function only after you have purchase a Roaming Pass to avoid multiple charges.
