i like tis plan very much, will convert my existing DG50 to this DG Smart Plan soon, as i cant fully utilise the Rm50 talktime cos my digi only use to make bubur with gf..

i love this plan, but digi came out with plan a lil too late. i choose E series over blackberry few months back ... but hey, never too late for a second phone hehehehe!

hmm scare the connection wunt be that good only =)

good deal, no hesitation to switch over. Will do so by tomorrow!

dont forget to share ur experience tomorrow. if good then i'll cross to digi too

proud digi berry smart plan user here.so far so good.

fast. but i heard that it oni limit to 3GB/mth. extra KB will be charged at normal PAYU rate.

berry plan is unlimited.

went to DIGI agent today, the phone, sim card not yet arrive and they still not ready to register, better call before go

I assume this is EDGE only?

i dun really understand this digi bb plan....is rm58 bb unlimited edy include call and sms fee? wat's the call rate to other line or to the same line?

Maybe agent don't have, did you try DIGI owned store?

Added on November 18, 2009, 11:39 pmAccording to the terms..58 is only for the blackberry service..any calls u make would be add on..1 min is 15 cents per call..so if you make 10 (at 1 minute each) calls it would be 58 + 1.50 = 59.50

how much we need to pay for the phone if sign up this plan ?

Depends on how long you been with DIGI...read the terms and condition on the webpage...

basically the good thing about this plan is you dont have to pay the commitment fee for the voice plan unlike the other digi postpaid plan. it's pay per use. so i think its a good deal for blackberry users who are not so into making calls

went to here :

Latest Communication Sdn Bhd Subang Parade Digital One Lot LG, 13 Digital One, Subang Parade, No.5 Jln SS16/1 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor.

and here:

SMCC Services Sdn Bhd Plaza Shah Alam Lot LG 16, Lower Ground Plaza Shah Alam, No. 2 , Jln Tengku Ampuan Zabedah, E9/E, Section 9, 40100 Shah Alam, Selangor.

both don't have even form yet


The cheapest Blackberry service offer local provider, would like to register ASAP

fren where did u go and apply for the line?

one utama last weekend

i am so glad that the blackberry consumer plan is out now ... it is postpone about 2 months ! gonna screw that agent who told me before digi will launch for consumer plan in 1 sept.

too bad now i am using maxis prepaid BIS and it will expire on 12 Dec . will convert my existing dg50 into berryplan...

there is no camera flash at all!

haha. kantoi sudah. hehehe.

why another shop sell this bb around 1700++ haiya so expensive.

if i buy from digi is rm 1,199 right?

it is must using digi line to get this price?

what's your thought on Digi BIS ? i mean from the term of connection speed and reliability...

I on DG Smart Plan now. My BIS just activated 1 hr ago.
Finally I can get EDGE at my area. With Maxis, I can get only GPRS.

So far so good I would said. Setting up email account is easy and mails was push within few secs (especially gmail)

I tried tethering as IP Modem, Speed test shown 720Kbps. Not bad

Will Maxis & Celcom lower their BIS price? Otherwise lots of people will switch to DiGI i believe...

exceed 3GB will be capped, not charged PAYU you rate. should be like that.

there's no such thing as 3GB limit. it's unlimited
dont get confuse with digi broadband

it's worth if u bring yo own phone to reg dg bb58. but with the same fon price it's better to get it frm others which comes with 6mths bis prepaid. after tht maybe can shift to dg.

Hello, the BB phone is entry level, not even mid-level or high-end level.
Want flash, grab Bold lah...

i mean digi got the specs wrong

ya, dun hav.

This post has been edited by ddlo: Nov 21 2009, 10:01 AM

i am existing customer postpaid can i just sign up a bb for it?? with contact locked 1 or 2 year??

beside that can i add on the bb plan to my postpaid? bb plan can add sub line as well right?

Wow, you are really fast! I would love to switch to digi too for the unlimited data usgae but I am on BIS for 6 months.
It would be a waste if I switch now.

Ya. Better stay for 6 months first. That is 1 of the reason I dun like to tie up to a contract.

So far so good for DG Smart plan, still EDGE all the time.

so which outlet currently can take on the spot?? hmm.. this not look like maxis right?? need to wait around 1 month only take it/

Nope. On the spot.
Any digi service center or Digi specialist store can sign up. I not sure about the stock for 8520. But their system is up and running now.

Digi sounds very promising...so far no negative feedback yet...hmm maybe i should consider digi

HMM. that is good.. probably will have a try on it.. 8520..

Anyone here with DIGI BIS that was able to MMS out? I cant with my Storm 2..dang!

hmmm.... is it possible to use different telco service with same BB, eg. voice plan maxis and data plan DIGI??

nope.

DG Smart Plan:rm58/month
Unlimited BlackBerry Internet Service
Voice Call,Video Call:15sen/min (all operator)
SMS:(10sen)
MMS:(20sen)
rm58 is not include call mms sms ...if u call rm30+sms rm10+mms rm5=rm58+30+10+5=ur bill
Discount:Video Call,Voice Call,SMS,MMS More then 100 above then will get 25% discount rm58-25%=rm43.5
If more then rm200,then will get 100% discount for RM58 = juz pay wat u call sms mms xD

And u can make maximum 6 supplimentary line Between Supp n DG smart all sms mms call = free
And supplimentary line monthy commitment is rm30/month
mean if u use rm30 pay rm30 if use rm50 pay rm50,if rm25? pay rm30 also
And supplimentary plan is
Digi Family Postpaid :
Call:13sen/min
SMS:(10sen)
MMS:(20sen) *for all operator

may i know which bb u using?

Javelin 8900

This post has been edited by mikelanding: Nov 22 2009, 12:29 PM

may i know, how much is Digi offering for the Blackberry? I heard Celcom is offering the phone at rm998. Can i also buy the phone then only i subscribe the plan later?

LOL! Found out why I cant MMS d...funny coz it didnt happen with my previous phones

My numbers in my phonebook is like this +6012-xxx xxxx ....cannot MMS to such numbers...must remove the International Code 012-xxx xxxx

Please refer to Item 22. on the FAQ.
So DG Smart Plan alone, there is no discount price to buy the 8520. Their RRP is 1199.
If U sign up contract for either DG50/DG150 from 1 year to 2 years period, the 8520 price will be ranging from 599 to 899

In my opinion, sign up the plan ONLY U are existing digi customer with pospaid plan.

If not, Maxis RM488 + 6 months unlimited still the cheapest promotion thus far.

This post has been edited by mikelanding: Nov 22 2009, 05:55 PM

yup..Maxis RM488 + 6 months unlimited is the cheapest right now

so if i am the existing digi customer if interested buy bb just sign up contact right?? no need add on the bb plan am i correct?

---

Added on November 22, 2009, 8:57 pmso mean if sign up maxis i just pay 488+ 6month contact?? am i correct?

This post has been edited by tabs: Nov 22 2009, 08:57 PM

i just check the website, is that mean i just pay rm488 then i can get the phone? what about the 6 months contract? do i need to sign or pay in advance first?

Yes. All are pay upfront. RM488 + RM98 X 6 = RM1076 + taxes

so if i am the existing digi customer if interested buy bb just sign up contact right?? no need add on the bb plan am i correct?

U have to add the BB plan...its RM58 per mth for Blackberry Internet Service (BIS), without BIS ur BB is only a normal phone > can only Make Calls & SMS (THATS IT)...nothing else..thats why u need BIS for Blackberrys. Thats the difference between normal phones & Blackberrys. Once BIS is activated, u can go online, use ur browser, push mails, chats & facebook, etc.

I'm a existing DIGI customer too for long time, I too have sign up for BB BIS plan @ RM58 per mth (Data Unlimited > unlimited usage, leave it on for 24/7, connect to your lappie as a modem if u want to also can)

In another word, YES u have to add BB plan as its part of the package! Dont think u'll be able to just buy the phone @ the offer price..also be remember DIGI BB BIS Plan has no contract, no commitment or whatsoever..thats what DIGI told me..

Call 016-2211800 for further info!

hi domokun thank for ur information..
finally understand.. haha.. thank for answering.. hmm.. if i register a new number wit bb plan got chaep?? the bb??
i hear that u can add on also.. with 48 for unlimited data plan.. this can be use for existing customer also.. am i correct? b

hmm.. so using bb u must have a unlimited plan so u able to keep online lo.. how is the speed? fast?

Better check with DIGI in regards to new or existing user!

I'm a DIGI user for many years now...& the plan DIGI offered me is BIS Data Unlimited RM58 + Normal calls & sms charges...also I get my own BB phone but its the same whether I buy from DIGI or not..the plan remains the same! Its just if u bundle with BIS then they offer u BB 8520 at the offer price lar

http://www.digi.com.my/whatshot/promotions...kberry/index.do

Speed ranging from 46x - 76xkbps..consider not bad lar..either EDGE or 3G

me having problem with my BB with maxis...many drop calls and also the phone often restarts...any1 can comment the quality on digi netowrk on BB?

Phone restart might be other problem. Dun blame solely on telco.

I using Maxis before, didnt experience restart even I flash to leaked OS5.

For Digi, so far so good for me. No complain

for those dun have bb , can buy from celcom. just rm998 only with rm50 top up.
it's can use for digi bb svs. so u save for both side. phone n bill i mean.

Contract and keep ur number and plan,the price u will get BB curve 8520
DG50
12mths=RM899

DG150
12mths=RM799
24mths=RM599

And u can pick 2 type of blackberry pakage
BlackBerry Unlimited:RM58/month(unlimited)
BlackBerry Lite:RM38/month(10mb)

& this ur call plan need use more then 1 year,and need to pay deposit also,the deposit will pay back when u terminated ur account

Deposit:
DG50:RM50
DG150:RM150

Hi,
the maxis BB prepaid promo, do we need to be an existing Hotlink user or can we buy a new SIM and still get the promo price? Anyone knows?

Does anyone know if the bb service is EDGE only or 3G also? Anyone using Bold with the service??

i heard DG got bad connection compare with Celcom. is that true???

DIGI BIS can be use for both EDGE & 3G...EDGE will help ya save some battery usage...

DIGI's bad connection...er so far NO!?! So far so good...only been using it since Saturday...

keep us updated. am thinking about the DiGi Berry plan. but am going to test out the Maxis 5MB theory first (i.e. won't be able to hit the limit). ;p

Frankly speaking, dont think DIGI's quality will be bad nor it will deteriorate..it has always impressed me, I was once a Maxis user ..then I switch to DIGI & its been great eversince..just lack of services until recently with introduction of 3G & BIS! Just my 2 cents

juz upgrade to digi berry plan..but i can stream youtube..anyone got this problem?

Bro..u can or u cannot? I cannot stream youtube leh!

i still considering the DG postpaid or Celcom postpaid now. Headache?! >.<

But to be frank, I did encounter some places with Network service..but seldom la!

guys....after reading so much of feedback here, I would like to ask
has any DiGi user on blackberry phone have device malfunctions (call hang up / cannot call / device restart)

I had bad experience previously on Win Mobile 5 with O2.
Am thinking to get a BB now.

Do share your experience to me b4 I get one.

Thanks.

Nothing so far...everythings working perfectly fine!

Your bad experience was due to hardware faulty..

Have you tried using the 3g? are you using the BOLD??

Yes Ive tried 3G..but I prefer to be on EDGE as its good enough for me & Im using Storm 2 9550

I doubt so...
coz i did both soft / hard reset, yet my DiGi still having problem.
Then I have no choice but to pass to my bro to use it with Maxis.
He has got no problem with the phone.

I was using 32 bit sim back then..recently chg to 64 bit..
so, could this be the issue?

Ic..i thought it'll only work on 64bit simcard? But I'm no expert..just sharing my 2 cents

maybe u r rite...

with the launch of BB service, i think DiGi is meeting the users expectation, otherwise.........

thanks bro..

erm just want ask your all something, if i signup one year contract then how much i still nedd pay the phone

go check for the website.. is written clearly and nice.. however digi still cheaper if compare to other

added BB unlimited to my DG30 plan and loving it!!!!! superb speed on my 8900 on EDGE. activation, took less than 5 minute. i love love DiGi!!

CELCOM GO DIE!

Are you on contract then? Did you bring in your own blackberry? I asked customer service at pavillion they said no contract if you bring in your own berry..but if not there will be contract..and then some other chap told me...its contract no matter what...i'm a postpaid customer with less than 12 months..so I guess i prob will have to be on contract...this is reading thru the website...

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

This post has been edited by red-queen: Nov 25 2009, 12:54 PM

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

This post has been edited by domokun: Nov 25 2009, 02:04 PM

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.

This post has been edited by mikelanding: Nov 25 2009, 02:24 PM

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.
