Hye guys,

im a digi user, but now im considering to jump ship coz i want the 3gs so bad.
i need your wise opinion on which plan suits me best, im currently on Digi's DG50 + Data Unlimited Plan (RM66) totalled up to = RM116 a month..

so if i were to jump ship to maxis,which plan suits me best? rclxub.gif

IMHO, if given the chance, i'd rather stick with your current Digi plan and then get a iphone without contract. if you see the above post, the ivalue plans are not really like the value plus plans where your monthly commitment covers everything.

having a data plan is the key to a wonderful iphone experience, and with your unlimited data plan, im sure you'll enjoy every moment of it.

if you were to convert your digi plan to the maxis ivalue plan, then you'll be matching it with the ivalue100. but take note on the above post, if you read the T&C carefully, the call minutes is strictly for domestic calls only. and etc etc.

but yet again, it all boils down to how much data and calls you'll be using. if the ivalue plans are sufficient for you, then yeah go ahead with it so that you can get the iphone at a cheaper price.

just to share my experience with you. my gf is on the ivalue 100, and i have to teach her to be careful with all the data usage etc as we can see in the data usage thread where ppl get billed crazy amounts for the data usage without knowing. have to turn off EDGE, 3G, use fakeapn, etc etc just to be srue u dont exceed.

as for me, im on unlimited data plan from maxis due to the corporate plan and i just leave everything on. push notification, etc etc. no worries. you'll be amazed how much of bandwidth i use a day on the iphone tongue.gif

so yeah, it all boils down to how you're gonna use the phone.

p/s: how come ur paying rm66 for unlimited data? i thought digi's unlimited data is going at rm58/month and for the first 12 months you get rm10 rebate. making it one of the most attractive and cheapest data plan. if my corporate plan expires and maxis is not giving me unlimited data anymore i'm definitely gonna jump ship to digi.

so are there any extra usage charges on top of the unlimited data package that u already have ?

my package is totally different from the ivalue plans. my monthly commitment is rm150. unlimited data is free.

so i can use up all rm150 for calls, be it domestic, international, outer space, and also for MMS, SMS, etc etc. similiar to the normal maxis value plus plan where your commitment covers everything.

ivalue plan is different. the monthly commitment is only for voice (domestic) + data. any sms to outside of maxis is chargable. any international calls is chargable. it doesn't deduct from your talktime minutes. so even if you don't exceed your talktime and data, but if you made an international call of rm20. your bill will be ivalue plan + rm20.

i agree wit u,ive been using iphone 2g with my digi plan for omos a year n a half now and im very satisfied with it,im considering to jump ship simply bcoz i wanna get the 3gs as cheapest as i can  tongue.gif

but i've been wondering if i can ever get an officially unlocked 3gs with a cheaper price? n im considering a new one,not a 2nd hand..

n bout the rm66 data plan = yeah,i juz realize it dis morning that digi has marked down their price on unlimited data plan,im looking forward to clarify dis matter with digi,coz i registered earlier when their price was at rm66..i find it weird though that they still charging me at rm66, arent there shud b any notification from digi to me regarding dis matter?  rclxub.gif

unfortunately, the only way to get a cheap brand new 3gs in malaysia is through maxis together with their ivalue/idata plans.

or perhaps, from singapore?

I converted from RM66 to RM58. I was told that RM58 is not really unlimited, it is cap at max 3GB per month ( http://www.digi.com.my/internet/3g/pricing_58.html )

As for RM66, its unlimited. However once u ported to RM58 there is no way u can port back to RM66 since it is no longer available.

For me 3GB per month is more than enough, i am currently using about 100+ mb per month as most of the time on Wifi.

you're right about the 3GB part. but it's still unlimited. when you exceed 3GB, they will cap you at EDGE instead, but you can still use unlimited amount of data. anyways this is not the right place to be discussing about digi's data plan.

guys, what is the amount i have to pay for the 1st time upon registration and monthly if i choose to have ivalue 1 with 24 month contract for 3GS 16GB? me find the rate plan table is quite confusing.. somebody plz help me clarify this.. tq.. icon_question.gif

RM1590 + RM400 = RM1990

the RM400 will be credited for the 1st 5 months meaning that for the first 5 months, you've already paid RM80. so when your bill comes, you pay Bill amount - RM80 for the first 5 months.
