The Launch of TRON Malaysias latest mobile network

Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Talk Focus Sdn Bhd officially activated Tron, a new cellular network service provider, which offers Malaysias first ever unconditional 365-day connectivity with every reload.

That means that each time you reload, you stay connected for 365 days not 5 days, not 7 days; you stay connected for 365 days. That means no more wasted, unused money in your account, said Chief Executive Officer of Talk Focus, Steven Loke.

Now, Im not a tech blogger so Im going to explain this the best I can in laymen terms; as per my understanding.

WHAT is Tron:
Other than the 3 telecommunications giants Maxis, Digi and Celcom, lately we started having choices with the launch of smaller providers like UMobile and Tune Talk. Tron falls into the latter category.

How to subscribe:
Keeping it simple, Tron has two starter packs Beon Lite which costs RM9 and Beon Infinite which costs RM98.
Beon Lite is the basic entry level pack and has a RM152 value which includes a RM100 voucher to buy a Tronfone.
Beon Infinite has a RM11,957 value, it comes bundled with additional insurance coverage worth RM10,000 and a stay at a four-star resort in Bali or Phuket worth RM1,680.

I havent started using it yet as it only has RM3.00 worth of talktime credit upon activation and Tron doesnt have BIS service as yet (Im a BB user). No fret for iPhone users though, Tron service centres does provide sim-cutting services.
