i suggest you to buy without contract better. you will regret paying more later when all plans already revised cheaper but you are still stuck paying higher just because of this phone contract. so in the end you are just paying back to the telco.

My recent experienced teach me that never sign 2 years device contract! Your calculation is based on present offer but based on the trend, package will be getting better at lower rate. The competition is stiffer now.

All the telco are doing the same thing. Just maxis a little bit unlucky and careless in their respond lately causing the big troubles to them.

Example, i signed 2 years contract with digi under idigi 78 package. Paying RM 78 for 3 GB data and 150 min. free call. However, the equivalent plan is costing about RM48 now! RM78 now can enjoy 7GB data with unlimited call and RM80 for 10Gb and unlimited call! Because, i'm contracted, i need to get forfeited to change my plan and digi have no mercy to give you free upgrade.

The lesson learnt, never sign 2 years contract. You may have short term gain but long term pain. All Telco are the same, so just be smart and choose the best plan for yourself.
