so, my summary after reading all these (using iphone 3gs 16gb, idigi 88 as example):

1. cash/credit card
-what you pay now: the phone price + 6 months of idigi plan = RM2,144
-what you need to pay every month: first 6 months no need pay anything if you use within quota, then on 7th month until 24th month need to pay rm88/month

2. EPP 24
-what you pay now: RM159 with the 5 bank's credit card and sign up for direct debit to allow digi to get rm159/month from your bank for 24 months
-what you need to pay every month: digi will deduct rm159/month from your bank for 24months

3. EPP 24+12
-what you pay now: RM106 with the 5 bank's credit card and sign up for direct debit to allow digi to get rm106/month from your bank for 36 months
-what you need to pay every month: digi will deduct rm106/month from your bank for 36months

At the end of the day, you will pay:

Plan 1
(RM2,144 + RM88 x 5% tax x 18months) = RM3807.20

Plan 2
RM159 x 24 = RM3,816

Plan 3
RM106 x 36 = RM3,816
Is this correct ?

where the 5% come from?
GOV taxs ? or service taxs?

Exisitng FnF can be ported over..
FnF works in i88 package.

i did some minor calculations. u actually save more with the iDigi plans since the iPhone is heavily discounted. but provided that you utilize the given data fully.

So heavy ? until idigi $138 not enough ? or idigi $238?

shouldn't be a prob to change with sub-line. i asked the sales people there and sub-lines will maintain. like calls between sub-to-primary will be free. i HOPE the sales people are not BS-ing me.
wahlao. u really bad poison! give people such advice. better to read before hand first and don't spend money without planning.
i just got a white iPhone today via pre-order from 1U. u didn't get the confirmation email?
mengsuan is God of poisoning people.

Weird, The Star doesnt say anything bout the Iphone + 6 months upfront have to pay...

Why? I tend to find 138 being worth if you do use that much of phone calls.

@ waynerooney. According to them, it is all free. I hope they are right. They mentioned the iDigi plan is just like Digi 50 plan, and can be treated the same.

Can anyone give your view? I am currently using 2G, should I go for 3GS now (I am pre-ordered) or should I wait for iPhone 4 ?

The CS told me (after putting me on hold for a minute to check with "sales"):

If u r a principal line and hv an existing sub-line, it will follow u to the idigi, but that sub-line will be on current existing package (Digi50, Digi100, Digi-whatever).

If u r a sub line, u cant get the sub-line converted, thus u hv to register as a principal line...

If u r new to Digi and want iphone, iDigi dont have any sub-line for now.

Still, most CS are blur (mayb coz there are too many of them, and outsourced) to the new packages.... even the CS at the Oval are blur to the procedures....

I would not hold my breath on Iphone 4G (does this mean it has wimax = 4G???)... as its still a rumored product....

And, seeing how Bolehland gets stocks of hyped products very slowly (see how long before we got iPhone and iPhone 3Gs compared to SG, and how even Nexus One is not avail here yet), i'd think iPhone 4G will be here arnd 6-9mths AFTER the rumored launch in June.... meaning early to mid 2011???

As per my understanding.... the sub plan remains... so if its DG50, minimum is still RM50 lo...

Yes, the best option is to go DG50 with Family30... then convert to iDigi88 + Family30.... the sub-line shdl remain at RM30, while calls to/from principal and sub-lines are free...

But pls check if this is the case with Digi ppl....

Errr.... why are u not going for Maxis' iPhone plans then???

First of all they are definitely gonna face moderate sales for the iphones because they just pick the wrong time to launch it? launch during `ching meng` weekend.. when every1 is busy... don't these guys ever look at the calendar?? 

does anyone convert fron digi50 to idigi88?
almost a day since i bought the iphone and the plan still unchanged
not dare to use 3g now...

U going to get your iphone or not? hehe...

"Switching to DiGi is absolutely FREE. However, you should select your preferred rate plan carefully, as you can only switch rate plans after 3 months once you've switched."

That is what i found in digi website.. so if u choose DG50 then u can only switch to iDigi88 after 3months.. i'm maxis user too.. same condition with u.. i wana switch to idigi and remain having subline.. but as i see what u all wrote, seems cannot..

wat about if we sign the EPP? it was include the phone and rate plan wat..

Digi iplan seems better deal, 6 mnths contract wiht 1GB internest usage! correct me if i got it wrong....

thinking of getting extra line with extra 8gb iphone...if it is only a 6 months contract...

anyone subscribed and got the iphone on the spot?
