Thanks for the suggestion..However the problem occurs everywhere I went...

I have the call waiting function on... Anyway..I've done the restore and hopefully everything is fine..bless me~!

I am not talking bout the calling rate,asking bout the sms. If SMS is 1 cent after the 200 SMS.
I will be glad cuz i SMS lots more than 200.

I understand if it is DIGI vs MAXIS.

But now my question is the bundled plan versus the normal plan.

Maxis has ivalue (bundled) vs idata plan.

Digi has idigi (bundled) vs normal plan.

For maxis, i go for idata plan as i explained. With the bundled, you are fix with certain call and sms, after that EXTRA charges. For normal plan, we can go for those rate like you mentioned and at the end you gets more with those friends and family like you said.

For Digi, most of my friends went to buy an iPhone and get the RM58 internet. So they have flexibility compare to bundled plans with fixed amount of call and sms. Like the guys posted there, he has to pay MORE. Like the example i calculated, if i sent 1500 sms, i have to pay more.

If we use the normal plan with all these friends and family and cheaper rate, we save more compare to these bundled where you constantly have to keep counting your call and sms. Try break them and see which one has more value. The sms and minutes that you didn't use are wasted, and then the sms and minutes you overused are EXTRA cost.

Why go for bundled plan? That is my question. Please enlighten me. I am not saying Digi or Maxis is better. Just asking bundled and normal plan comparison.

I chose maxis because

1. I got a few supplementary lines under me on Maxis. It will be too troublesome to port to Digi with all the supplementary lines.

2. Most of my contacts are on Maxis. Naturally, I will definitely save more with Maxis.

3. Coverage - This is what I heard from my friends who are on DiGi - Low coverage signal when they are inside a building.

4. I chose the Idata plan, just add RM50 per month for 12 months contract. Digi binds you to 2 or 3 years contract. In telco industry, a lot of things can change in 2 years, that includes the rate plans, phone offers, etc.

5. 500 MB of data is MORE than enough if I don't Youtube (only use about 20% of the data per month )

Oh forgot to add, since it's a 1 year contract, if I don't like Maxis, I can always choose to change to Digi after 1 year. So the 1 year contract really matters for me. You won't have this option when you are bound to 2 or 3 years.

Hi,

Digi contract is just 2 years, not 3..
Anyway, everyone have their own reason for choosing a telco..so, it is really up to self preference.

How much did your friends bought the iPhones for without the bundled plan? One of the reasons people buy iPhones with plan is because it's more affordable that way (price of iPhone combined with plan price and divided into instalments).

If digi also offers subsidized iPhone with the RM58 plan will you get it. Ok you seems to be with digi find let's it on maxis then. Maxis ivalue and maxis idata, why ppl choose ivalue over idata?

If idigi against rm58 plan both same subsidized, which will you go for? Now they don't offer subsidizes other than bundled plan. I also throw same question to maxis user why get bundled plan?

Alright guys just got my iphone from digi. So my prepaid line went dead is it means that i can use my line for calling and sms d? dont want later out of the included rm88. thanks

Call 016-2211800 to confirm package change before using.

thanks, called them and they say activated. time for spamming

yoohoo~ i just got my iphone.. haha..

tml only they change the plan.. or shud i say by 00:00hr..

the phone is so much better to use after being released from its prison....

mmm how about incoming calls? do they charge for it? if not then it is cheaper la

Free incoming calls..

Those are the published rates in their website. They do have promotions drive from time to time. My friend got it for S$ 159 for Iphone 3GS and a 2 year contract with S$ 55 monthly commitment fee.

Our telco in Malaysia is really reaping us off!

Hi soul2soul,

SGD 55 per month means is RM135 per month.
I think this consider as higher end package in Singapore.
Last time, my monthly commitment was only SGD12.60 per month.
So, SGD55 consider is a higher end plan in SG.
Likewise, if in MY, we took the higher end plan, the phone price also will be cheaper eg Idigi238 (iphone 16gb just RM390)

Anyway, the key point here is we cant compare between MY and SG. The standard and cost of living is very much different. the currency is already different...
Just to add here, i dont mean to side MY..is just that I'm still trying to get use to KL lifestyle as I just move back to KL from SG 2 months ago..
so, keep telling myself, not to compare..

Does anyone have any statistics to show whether Digi or Maxis is leading in Iphone sales?

Dont mind u all discuss but then this one digi thread ma. I guess we all are guessing who is leading but i guess currently maxis because they start selling first
