I have surveyed and compared the data plan offered by each telco (except by u-mobile).

I think Digi is the best and the most flexible. With an unlimited data plan (RM68), we only pay our calls as per usage. No monthly commitment for phone calls. If our monthly calls are RM10 total, then the monthly bill will be RM68 + RM10 = RM78.

Celcom has less flexibility. Even though we subscribe the unlimited data plan, we still have to pay the commitment fee for phone calls. If our monthly calls are RM40 total, we still have to pay RM50 (for Celcom Exec50). RM10 is wasted just like that. When we sign up, there will be a lot of charges in our first bill (like stamping fee).

Maxis has a lot of hidden traps. We have to be careful when using its data plan. Worse is there is no unlimited data plan under Maxis. Once, we exceed the quota, we have to pay additional charges. This is very dangerous.

Digi is the best.

Yep...currently running my new HTC Desire on DG Smartplan 68....no worries. Even if u subscribe to the DG50 + Internet LitePlan 33 (300mb), they'll bar ur internet access upon reaching quota and reset next month. So, no BillShock. Maybe cons is coverage is not so wide...but hell...i am not going into jungle to surf internet, so no worries.

U mobile prepaid plan is rm68/month with 3.6Mbps. Quota is 5GB, after that is unlimited but reduced speed. only bad thing about Umobile is that it is very limited to klang valley only. even genting have no line.

From what i know, umobile actually rent bandwidth from Celcom...only have a few towers of their own.

good job. if more people like you complain, then the others won't kena buta buta liao. seriously they should do something to their system

What i got from Maxis is RM99 for unlimited usage of data... Becuase this is a old company line and this is a special promotion for corporate users. Please try to ask your company whether your company line got this advantage...

Hi,i have a question here...i am currently a idigi 88 user and i have reached the data quota of 1gb this month...am i need to reset it so that i know how much data i have surf for the next moonth?if yes,how should i reset it?thank you...

Just reset it on the last day of yr bill cycle. Why the need to keep track since u would not be charged any way !

Anybody tried Air Asia's Tune Talk? This is a prepaid SIM with charge of RM0.16 per call, RM0.05 per SMS and RM0.05 per MB data. For light data users this should be good, it's pay as you use. I think they piggyback on Celcom's 2.5G network.

oh hell yeah... Maxis really suck when it comes to hidden charges...my aunt kena hidden download data plan on Maxis and got 2 consecutive months charge like RM3xx... really waste money....
digi is better...

but beware....i think i kena a bit from Digi also...but my case is supplementary line... my main line using iDigi88 no problem...but i suspect my supplementary line kena GPRS charges....

You can buy data charges plan for ur sub-line, RM33 for 300MB data, if hit quota, no extra charge, they'll just barr u accessing internet for the rest of the month.

Did ur Auntie complain? Should go online and register case to CFM....MAXSUCKS will response in 3 days. Don't keep quiet and let MAXSUCKS walks all over you!!

well...i can confirm that Digi also can kena Data usage issue...but my case...kena on supplementary line...because my main line is iDigi88 so tak kena...luckily i smart...quickly call Digi and disable GPRS...

or else... the stupid Digi consultant already ask me to wait end of the month only dispute...by that time...already kena hundreds of ringgits...

ptui!

It happens to some iphone regardless of d network provider i guess
It happenned to me too, after using ip for few days my data usage jumped fr 300mb to 8gb sent n 8gb received in just overnight.. !
But it didnt give me a heart attack since im a digi customer n i was pretty sure dat i did not used dat much of data.
So at d end of d mnth my bill statement came out n sursprisingly my total data usage is only 3xxmb only

But it only happenned once tho, ive been using my ip for 3 mnths now..
Sum say its a bug, sum say ur phone transfers data when it is in sleeping mode, im not sure..
All in all, ip does alot of magic id say ..

Lol, then I think I'll just wait for my statement to come

Just be careful bcoz ur using maxis, dont forget to keep track of ur unbilled amt k.. i was very laid back bcoz i kno digi wont charge anything extra for data usage..
