Planning to sign a contract with Maxis. My dilemma is which postpaid are best for users like me with the following:

1. company gives an incentive of RM50/mth for mobile topup but I use roughly RM60~70 each month.

2. I'm currently using SE K810i (I know, I'm a relic) so i've not tried using any internet/data plans before. so i don't know how my much difference my mobile usage will increase or decrease(i suspect that having an internet plan will greatly lower the amount of charges i use for sms and also decrease abit for calls due to whatsapp/skype/line/viber/tango). my question is, is it worth getting 1gig plan instead of 500mb plan? I suspect i can't even reach quota if i'm surrounded by wifi day and night. its only when on the go i'll face difficulties if there's no free wifi signal around.

3. I'm planning to get SGS3, is it possible to bundle it withthe newest postpaid plan ? if not is it still worth getting the phone without plans from sellers and then get postpaid plans from maxis?

4.with android capability to cap/warn users of data usage limits, safe to say there'll be no problems exceeding the data limits?

5. how easy is making payments for postpaid bills? can i do it via online banking?

bottomline is that i have a friend who's using a smartphone but did not signup for an internet/data plan becoz he justifies that day time workplace has wifi and night time there's unifi internet (which is my current situation too). I'm still deciding whether or not should i take data plans. maybe you all can help me out with this dilemma of mine..

many thanks!!

regarding to the data plans. Is it contracted? means i would have to stick with the plans for 1 year then only i can upgrade or cancel? is it possible to upgrade mid way after signing/using a data plan?
thanks!!

thans erry for the clear up~ since i've never had data plans before coz of using dumbphone, i don't know how would my data usage will turn out to be. I think it's better if i get a phone separately and then sign a postpaid with a minimum data plan 1st...that should be the way for now~..but the phones bundle plan are very enticing especially the knocked down prices of the phones.... ....anyway bro...thanks again for the clear up~

Hi guys,

Recently finished Digi Infinite 100 promo of discount RM20 per month.

thinking of either switching to Digi Postpaid 80 or port to others. was a long customer of Maxis but decided to port out to Digi as there are more benefits.

just wondering, Digi Infinite 100 benefits has stated that there is 20GD tethering but not mentioned on any normal digi postpaid plans. Does that means that if i take postpaid 80 and i will still have tethering/hotspot? and the data is used within the 40GB all day internet right?

anyways, my priorities are:
1. calls (coverage is key, so far to me i'm satisfied with Maxis and Digi's coverage and lesser down times, area=Klang Valley/N9/Melaka)
2. unlimited internet at 4G/LTE speeds (my usual monthly usage 20~30GB) for FHD video streaming / video calls.
3. hotspot for tethering to laptop / other devices (emails, work, conference call)

your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
