Like to get "confirmation" on BIS issue on DIGI while roaming (outside malaysia )

I would like to "consider" signing this BIS services with DIGI...

anyone care to comment ... what if I am on roaming does this BIS unlimited apply .. for this case ...??

thanks

Digi cheat money lah. If not 58 unlimited so good meh. Maxis & Celcom don't have this problem.

Roaming is subjective. Therefore, you'll have to check with TELCO about the charges. It differs for various countries.

BIS Unlimited only applies in Malaysia.

I always know it is too good to be true when it comes to streaming,

so this prob does not occur with my celcom exec right

Digi>Always The Smarter Choice>>>lol

do i everytime need to set the apn to blackberry.net for normal usage & change back to digistrm for youtube ?? wat if i leave it blank??

They said can just leave it there!

Respective countries' roaming rates apply.

Unlimited applies only to using it within Malaysia.

It's actually cheaper to get a local SIM card wherever you roam to and subscribe to its BIS service whenever possible.

Anyway, I'll merged this thread with the existing DiGi BIS disucssion thread.

I just feel thetering with phone will wear it out faster than usual. Oh and btw, if my BB can last more than 2 years, i dont mind keeping it as a spare phone in the event i change to a new phone.

Hallu... come back from my experimenting period... It has been 4 days since I changed my APN setting to digistrm. Using youtube to stream everything I could think of until my trackball stuck(normal for BB Tour user) and guess what? I didn't being charge for PAYU rate. So from my site the conclusion is digistrm will not be charged as PAYU rate for DiGi BIS Plan.

Off Note: You have to try yourself. Sometimes even CS officer wouldn't know about this. The better way is to try your self. and DT8 I don't know why you hate DiGi so much. My personal experience. I switch from Maxis Postpaid > Celcom Postpaid > DiGi Postpaid. None of them giving me trouble.

to avoid unexpected charges, y dun dg smart plan's internet max capped @ rm5 juz as dg prepaid does?

For the n-th time being reiterated here in this forum, there'll be no extra charges if you stream youtube data in-device, while leaving the APN settings as "digistrm".

According to T&C, it's unlimited data usage as long as data is consumed within the device,it's also made clear that when data is used in a tethering method to another machine, it'd be PAYU.

That said, DiGi has to provide means for users, for tethering purposes, hence specifically the "diginet" APN. This is done so that DiGi could track the tethering usage, and billed usage could be calculated accordingly. OK, fair enough.

Unfortunately, it has been mismanaged that some users through trial and error, managed to stream youtube WAP data on device using the same APN. DiGi couldn't distinghuish if it's in-device youtube WAP data , or is it tethering data, it therefore had to assume all traffic through this diginet APN is tethering.

Hence, for DiGi to fulfill the contractual obligation of "unlimited data as long as data is consumed within device" , ie in this cae , for in-device youtube WAP viewers, there's another APN specifically just for this purpose, of course which is your "digistrm" APN. I bet there's a mechanism behind this APN to filter out non-youtube packets, to avoid anything else being passed through here without charges (ie: avoid tethering usages). In other words this APN is free but only allows youtube packets. Implementing the filtering here is more logical than doing it the reverse way round in diginet for obvious reasons : you want the PAYU users to get everything.
I've been billed for diginet usage and I've requested DiGi to waive that, and they willingly did, because they knew they wouldn't be able to prove I had used this diginet solely for the purpose of anything other than in-device youtube streaming (or not). From my perspective I've only been using this APN for in-device youtube streaming specifically , which is nothing against the T&C. If they weren't to budge and I were to bring this case to court, I'd win hands down. However had I known better that there's a proper APN for in-device youtube streamers , I would've happily used that instead. In fact, I am using only digistrm since that incident onwards and there has been no issue since.

There.

Well said... good explanation

nowadays how much does it cost BB 9000 on sell in DiGi Center?

Does AP and original phone it's really matter?

Any digi center provide good service and easy understanding within midvalley area?

As I mean I am a new on these, i need more suggestion. I'm new in town.

sorry about that fool question.

It does matter in terms of service after sale! I will not go for official telco

My Digi bill...Youtube streaming under "digistrm" apn settings & lotsa downloads! Plus I get 25% discount off for usage RM100-199.99

Who mentioned Digi cheat money

Those with WAP or Diginet charges is due to settings error!

Been using DIGI BIS since the very first day the launched it!

Guys Guys Guys!!!

So i was wrong. I thought I will only get discount if my CALL USAGE reach RM100! So, according to domokun, if usage call rm50 plus DG BIS = RM100 then i will get 25% discount???

I am only on DG BIS Unlimited plan w/o any CALL 50 or whatever ...it applies to all! Their T&C is straight forward

The discounts starts from your total bill but only rebate on DIGI BIS RM58 (-25%)
