QUOTE(skykisser @ Feb 10 2010, 12:19 AM) The line for DG Smart plan for BB must be a primary line. I guess you can take your phone number and open up a new account so that you are primary and your plan is DG Smart for BB. You may also sign up for DG30 additionally , but that is not necessary. After that , you can have your Dad's line placed under your account as a supplementary, and choose DG50 for this supplementary. I came across this: 26. Can my supplementary line sign-up for a Blackberry plan? Yes. You can tag on a Blackberry Unlimited plan for RM58 per month. As extracted: http://www.digi.com.my/blackberry/faq.do

To all DiGi BB users, I would like to know if 3GB/month is sufficient for you? I would like to seek for your opinions before subscribing to this plan, my normal usage will be Facebook, WLM, pages surfing and emails reading.
Hopefully the new Bold 2 plan will be good.

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Feb 16 2010, 07:59 PM) I thought you were currently subscribed to DiGi's 3G unlimited plan? No? DiGi BIS no tethering. You will not use even half of the bandwidth coz of that. So 3GB/mth will be more than enough  No, I'm using DiGi Campus which offers unlimited download, has no 3GB or whatsoever restriction.  Alright, that sounds good.  How does the monthly quota calculation taken into account? Errm. Me pretty new to this BB thingy, can I say that I can't use my DiGi 3G on BB? I must subscribe to BIS? Because both are using different platforms?

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Feb 16 2010, 08:14 PM) It is same like DiGi 3G - 1 month starting from your billing date Yes, you need to subscribe to BIS to enjoy the "push" features  In a way, you will enjoy it, coz other than e-mails, features like facebook / MSN Messenger / Yahoo! IM etc are equally great & I am always connected ( I don't have problems like how I faced in my Nokia E71). So in which way does the 3GB quota will be utilised? Let's say if I stream a video from Youtube? Will that 3GB taken into calculation upon my streaming? You are always connected to those messengers, will those take up 3GB quota too?

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Feb 16 2010, 08:55 PM) There is no proper indication whether video streaming is part of the 3Gb bandwidth because it uses totally different APN & not under BIS. (so at the moment you can assume that it is part of the 3Gb  ) As for e-mails & being connected to messengers 24 hours, it will not finish up your 3Gb quota. This is because, there is no activity (download/upload) while your messenger is left idle. It starts using your bandwith when you are chatting/connecting etc. Alright, that clears up all my doubts.  I'm quite convinced with the 3GB FUP.  I shall anticipate the Bold 2 plan which will roll out on 1st March.  Last question will be is EDGE speed good enough for BB? My hometown only has DiGi EDGE, so will it have very significant difference? My DiGi Internet has very big difference la, it is like turtle speed back in hometown now.  p/s: It is 3GB not 3Gb. B = Byte. b = bit. 1 Byte = 8 bits This post has been edited by fruitie: Feb 16 2010, 09:04 PM

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Feb 16 2010, 09:39 PM) Sorry, I think you are wrong. It is actually 3Gb & not 3GB  Image below is for your reference. [attachmentid=1446257] EDGE is good enough for everything except for heavy internet surfing. Choosing Bold 2 is definitely a good choice as you can set it to 2G mode if you are not going to do heavy surfing. I wanted to buy Bold 2 as well but the price is..  I'm sure it is a typo, it is impossible to be 3Gb, even its DiGi Internet is 3GB.  3Gb is way too little.  All telcos are offering GB and none of them is offering Gb.   I hope the plan package will be good.

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Feb 16 2010, 11:03 PM) Maybe. I am sharing based on what I see as I do not want to mislead others (who knows, DiGi is actually only offering 3Gb for their BIS)  Totally understood, will call them for clarification and talk to my friend who is the webmaster for DiGi homepage.  If 3Gb really  everyone will exceed the usage.
