With plenty of digital music and video content available on the go, streaming is becoming one of the most popular ways of utilising mobile data. 

While many streaming bundles are available for postpaid users, prepaid users are often left with expensive and limited streaming quota options. 

Celcom Axiata Bhd, through its Xpax prepaid brand, plans to change this with the new Music Walla and Video Walla features. 

Music Walla comes with unlimited streaming data quota on a weekly or monthly basis, priced at RM3 and RM1 respectively. This means that the user’s existing data quota will not be affected while streaming music. 

However, users will not be able to enjoy certain services such as Spotify and Deezer as the supported partners are limited to Joox, KKBOX, Raku, and selected local radio stations. 

For video streaming, Video Walla comes with a larger number of partners such as dimsum, iflix, Netflix, youtube, dailymotion, Astro Go, tonton and Hero Talkies. 

Two choices are available – weekly and daily. 

The amount of data will not be unlimited as the RM7 weekly pass is capped at 10GB, while the RM1 daily pass has 1GB. 

Celcom Axiata Bhd deputy CEO Azwan Khan Osman Khan said that unlike other telcos, there are no limits in place for the speed and video quality while streaming with the Walla pass. 

“What you see is what you get. No fine print, no kelentong,” said Azwan Khan. 

Although the video and music streaming passes are aimed at Celcom Xpax prepaid customers, First postpaid customers can also enjoy passes. 

The passes can be purchased via the Xpax or Celcom First Postpaid apps or the *118# USSD option on mobile.
