Thanks babyyi

bluer.. that website dont tell much

for example.. the rm500 upfront crap..
half truths.... bloody hell..


@ babyyi..
in that case ill set my APN to digistrm permanently.. (=

for me 500 upfront payment is fine, because it's deducted on your bill until it's finish. unless out of nowhere, they have to charge it without concrete reason.

compare with other provider that bulk the price. they plus this and that until you lost count which is which. must buy also voice, bla bla bla. add this if you want this, add that if you want that. while digi is very straight forward. RM68 monthly unlimited data includes BIS, if you make calls, 15 sen/min, sms 10 sen/min. your 500 is for your advance payment bill. which will make you no need to pay anything for around 8 months if you purely using Data. that's it.

before i came to Digi, i considered using Maxis and Celcom first. but the way they advertise their package a lil bit confusing. maxis all in one payment looks really expensive while i cant really understand what's inside the bulk package. while celcom, must add voice plan or something which increase the bill more.

so you still saying Digi crap or half truths?

all no charges, but both digistrm and diginet works for youtube. For other streaming services like some online radio app I tested, diginet seems to be working but digistrm does not. So I think diginet still the best

then the apn username part? check but leave the username and password blank? or just uncheck it?

just leave it blank on APN authentication...

check the APN setting box,and write diginet on APN..

you dont understand bro..

take this scenario..
ima student.. i read the website..
did my homework thoroughly..
nobody told me about the rm500 upfront unless i asked.
and nobody will tell me out of the blue..

i budgeted just nice for the plan and phone...
im a student.. where on earth do you want me to get the rm500 extra?

i know it will be deducted from your next 7 mths or so usage..
but so what.. the student gets there with around rm1500 in hand..
just to find out he needs to fork out rm500 extra...

you know how bad that situation is for the kid?




further to that...
they did not mention about the rm500 upfront on the website..
and let me stress this..
not even on the fine prints..
if that is not half truths.. then i dont know what is..

don't even start comparing with maxis and celcom...
but for one.. maxis did include everything in whole including the upfront rm300 (or so)
celcom.. i didnt even check lol..


im not saying that digi's services are crap..
its fine and dandy.. i love the speed..
what i dont like is their half truths..
and their inability to serve their customers properly at their digi centres..

can you imagine?
4 centres.. all packed like sardine..
numbers queuing all the way till ppl have to wait for at least 1.5hrs..
good that business is looking good..
but shouldnt digi do something like set up extra counters extra man power?
idk about you..
but simple things like this influences me

Added on July 29, 2010, 11:20 amoh.. i forgot to mention..

even after waiting for 1.5 hrs..
when its finally my turn.. they tell me
sorry no stock..

AFTER i've inquired and told them
"i would love to get this now, do you accept debit card?"
wow.. brilliant eh?

---------------
suggestion 1 would be setting a counter which prioritize for BB plans + phones
and when there is nobody.. then that counter will divert to 3GS
however if there is blackberry customer. that counter should divert back to BB as a priority

just 1 counter would be enough.. cuz i know every telco pushing 3GS like mad...
anyway i wonder if there are any DiGi staffs in this forum =_=

yeah bro... i understand your problem. i also respect your opinion. but guess what, i'm doing a little more homework than you. want to know what i did?

i went thru their website, celcom, maxis and digi. then i pickup my phone and called them up. and ask properly how the payment need to be done. guess what? they told me all that on the phone. including 500 upfront payment.

and also, when i went there first question that i ask, DO YOU HAVE READY STOCK? when they said yes, then i continue talking to them.

see the difference between you and me? i'm not trying to create any flame between us, but everybody shoul be doing the same thing when looking around for phone.

no offence but i think all above are no digi problem

i got my bill and i charged rm700++ for roaming BIS at singapore..damn!

im sure u know roaming cost you a bomb, even with celcom or maxis my friend charged 1K

ahaha.. i waited 1.5 hrs before i could even ask (=

maybe you're right..
i didnt call them up to ask about the payment thing..
which leads me back to half truths..
all probs avoided if they just added it into the fine print..
that way they wont be looking as if they are not stating the whole facts..

i mean.. for myself it is not written there.. i assumed im going to pay for the phone + at least the 68..
or even if 2-3 mths upfront also i can live with that.. but a whopping 500 bucks bro..
is no small amount.. thats 1/2 a thousand there (=

but w/e it is.. i got my phone (actually not mine =_= my gf's)
and everything worked well..
rm500 lucky i had it lol.. (i actually heard it from my friend.. and had to rescramble my finance)
if not id be one clueless dude over there man

crap..LOL..u got the phone then just sit back and chill out with ur new baby bb..thinking back on this kinda stuff doesnt help u much on ur new bb..LOL..

no offense josiah lim~ haha

roaming killing =.=...better get a prepaid when roaming

3gig but usage after that is still free, just slightly slower. If use as phone its like almost impossible to hit 3gigs Blackberry compress all data usage like crazy so its much more efficient than any other phone!

Celcom Prepaid is cheap for roaming. Try it next time

hi...the RM 500 upfront is in the website la bro...go to FAQ, question no. 10..u will get ur answer there....

proud owner of a BB (FINALLY!)

MNP from another telco to DiGI! Done all the maths (sort of) and finally got my BB~! ^^

yeay~ \^^/
