QUOTE(chuasm @ Aug 31 2010, 04:48 PM) Do u use much on your calls? if you can reach RM150 a month, i would recommend you celcom Power 148 plan. For RM150 per month minimum commitment, celcom throws in FREE unlimited data! Celcom has its name in the best coverage in M'sia, even ulu places no problem. I'm using this plan since i got my iphone 3G to now iphone 4, no problem  ic.. normally it wont reach 150.. my usage normally around 100.. but its a preety good deal 150 for Unlimited data!!!!!.. can the line be shared across?? means I sub a new number and share the same limit? 150 for two lline but data plan only for my phone.

QUOTE(chuasm @ Aug 31 2010, 08:27 PM) Nope you can't. the plan is only for 1 phone number. but if you are using iphone 4, you can use it as modem for internet connection (internet tethering) and chop your streamyx if you're using one at home. that would save you $$  I wish I can terminate my streamyx.. 2years contract.. just finish early this year and I apply for a new one another 2years.. do celcom hv family plan? what is the minimum commitment for 2nd number?

QUOTE(chuasm @ Sep 1 2010, 09:44 AM) Yup, there's family plan. i think it's call 1 + 5 plan. The commitment fee is RM5 monthly with calling principal line FOC for upto 1200mins i recall. Yucks! I hate to be under contract, that's why i have been getting my own iphone from overseas and just shop for the best plan available in the market. ic.. I am not sure yet which data plan should I subc.. believed myself is not a heavy user.. currently im on maxis postpaid. whats good in maxis is I think the commitment between principal and sub line is shared across.. 1 of my alternative will be add up rm50 to sub maxis data plan cap at 500mb. is that enough? Digi plan is Unbelievably cheap!!! anyone has experience on turbo 3G by DIGI????
