For user with own device who want to sub only DG Smart Plan. There will be no contract. But there is a clause that if U terminate less than 3 months. Penalty will impose.

For those already postpaid, I think there is no contract. It more like an add-on to yr existing plan.

The contract are for those who want to took the BB8520.

Hope this clarify yr concern

It does..i also confirmed with customer service online..can bring own bberry and opt for the bberry plan with no contract...

* Updates *

Previously at Pandan Jaya inside me friends office, my DIGI got no service!

Now with DIGI 3G, wooooot...got 2-3bars service! Great news!

Yea...i just chatted with online customer service and they activated 3g for my sim card...now I am at home with full 3G signal...much better than my Maxis 3g which i have spotty coverage at home...

Now I wonder if anyone knows we can tether the bberry with our laptop with no extra charges...is this truly unlimited or only unlimited with BIS on Bberry

Yes, there is no extra charge as its unlimited...I've check plus I'm using it with my lappie

Dear Domokun and fellow BB users,

I second what is said by Domokun. Their EDGE networks works very smoothly, and covered throughout Malaysia. I was using E71 perfectly with their unlimited EDGE package.

For practical mobile surfing, it was A LOT FASTER than 3G as the other telco's needed to toggle you from 3G/3.5G and back to slouch GPRS (since they had 3G, they never upgraded their EDGE). So we got better speed smoothness from a consistent EDGE stream. And battery life lasted full day under frugal EDGE.With 3G mid day charging needed.

When you tetther to laptop, you might need 3G, but I hear Digi has that covered to some extent.

I was using Digi until this Tour came along last month when there was no Digi BIS, reluctantly switched to Maxis, the bill cost just jumped up 40% on overall basis. I shall switch back to Digi BIS 58 after I get more feedback from Tour Digi users.

Cheers and keep up the feedback.

wow, this BB plan from Digi is really really attractive. too bad it came a lil too late. i just signed up for 24 months with maxis RM150 with unlimited data + E71 few months back...

else i'll definitely buy my own BB Bold + the Digi BIS plan. RM58/month unlimited(cap 3G at 3GB, EDGE after 3GB) is damn damn damn cheap compared to other Operators. no voice commitment, pay as you call.

i hope digi will maintain their attractive BB plans. will definitely port over when my contract ends

Haha..u also here arr!

hahahhaa...wanna be like you, hop over to the Blackberry bandwagon

anyways, looks like i wont be able to as i'm still tied with my maxis contract. but my gf is looking for a new phone, so might be getting this Digi BIS plan with a BB phone. dunno which BB phone to get though. 8900 javelin looks ok, but no 3G. Tour maybe?

which bb are you using?

Nice!

Just got my BB last Fri..BIS activated 24hrs later! Loving it eversince..Im using Storm 2 9550, wanted to try out touch screen

Saw a Pearl White (Original Casing) Bold 9000 @ Sg Wang...Im sure ur GF would love that

For lady, there are Pearl series.

But nowaday, lady are looking at feature also.

In Summary
BOLD:
+ point =Bigger screen size, Faster CPU, Bigger keypad, 3G, big internal storage (1GB)
- point = lesser ram (128mb), big size for certain peoples, 2mp cam

8900:
+ point = Highest resolution 480X360, 3.2 mp cam, bigger ram (256mb), smaller size (+ point for me )
- point = EDGE only, less internal storage, slower CPU speed compare to BOLD, smaller screen size

Pearl:
No comment. Didnt play with it before.

Out of 3, I like 8900 more. Using 1 now, But my wife love her BOLD.

3G is not that important especially for BIS. All data are optimised at RIM server. I survive GPRS under maxis for 3 months without any problem.
EDGE should be sufficient for almost all BB features.

Unless U tethering with your BB, then U need 3G.

Anyway, almost 4 days on DG Smart Plan now. So far is good experience since I got EDGE coverage all time. My batt life seem improve a bit also.

thanks for the info bro. since you're using 8900 with DG Smart Plan, you should be getting EDGE or below only right? mind asking where you purchase your 8900 and for how much?

most likely my gf will be choosing either the 8520or 8900 to go with the digi BB plan.

This post has been edited by red-queen: Nov 25 2009, 03:24 PM

My unit is 2nd hand. I purchased from lelong.com.my around 1.2K ish

You can get 8900 around 1450 to 1500+ new. Some seller gave AP shop warranty for 12 months.

Between 8520 and 8900, I would suggest U goes for 8900 because 8900 have:
- better cam (3mp vs 2mp)
- got flash (flash is important to take good picture)
- got mechanical zoom
- much higher resolution (480X 360 vs 320 X 240) and the screen is just gorgeous! Very viewable under direct sunlight compare to nokia E71 and 5800.
- slightly longer battery life

Just got my 8520 + Digi.

haha.. i also planing to get one once i do it.. btw where u get the 8520 which outlet?/

I have yet to visit one of the outlets..do they sell just the 8520? Or do they have the 8900 also?? Kinda waiting for the Bold 2...don't know when it will be officially released...cheapest at this forum is 2.6K

hows DIGI EDGE/3G coverage in Sabah/Sarawak? esp. around kching+k.k areas?
any feedback? thinking of ditching maxi$$ and join the other side.

Tabs: Got it from Phone Hut Pandan Indah.

I got mine from DiGi at Berjaya Times Square..

Hi guys,

Been observing this thread ever since Digi came out with their BB service. Currently I am on MaxisBIS but considering terminating it and activating my Digi BB service since im on a limited data plan ie 10MB. I'll still maintain my Maxis line as secondary. I do have a couple of questions with regards to this process that I hope you guys can help me with:

1. Is it as simple as just terminating my Maxis BIS and activating my Digi BIS?
2. Do i then just have to switch sim cards and do the necessary registration of email add and other relevant BB settings on Digi site?
3. Any other considerations that i may have overlooked?

Btw, my BB Bold was bought as an AP set so I assume its fully unlocked. Is there anyway i can confirm this without having to insert another telco's simcard in it?

Wld greatly appreciate some input.

Tks in advance guys
