That's a good thing At least Maxis would now have a serious competitor so they won't provide crappy service to customers.

For those who still consider waiting for 30 days iPhone from Maxis. Perhaps the wait and fuss is over.

SOON, DiGi is releasing iPhone 3GS via DiGi Turbo 3G package.

Head on to www.digi.com.my/iphone for further information.

SO long for Maxis dominance on exclusive licence to sell iPhones! DiGi is here to kick some @*S

good news;) today I'm at digi HQ they giving green apples. This will definately push the iPhone price more competitive

i think its going to be the same situation as maxis when they first launched the 3G, which was in late march and just 3 or 4 months before launch of 3gs.

Hmm nice, but I hope Digi will bring in the iPhone 4G when it launches

erm..but how is the digi mobile internet performance ?
anyway, good news

if you are in their 3g coverage then the speed is comparable if not faster. Only a few cities have 3g coverage in malaysia.

Im on DiGi with the iPhone 3gs and i would say that in their 3g coverage area, the speed is very reasonable. No problem browsing the internet, IM and emailing. Speeds are quite fast and reliable, even with edge also not that bad. Currently with DiGi 3g unlimited data.

Cant wait to see what plans DiGi are offering for the iPhone 3gS.

Here is a screenie for average speeds i get during the day.

i assume the price will be almost same with Maxis? Quite interesting Digi selling iphone.

woow this is pretty good news!
but stupid decision again to commit to stocks when the arrival of the 4G is just around the corner.

yeah, most likely. apple will still control the pricing and not let it go haywire.

what we can expects is better plan rates

Yea I reckon so. But at least it will not be a dominant market and when its not we can expect some price change

this is my Digi 3G speed in Puchong, tethering into laptop.



downloaded 200mb file in 20minutes

I assume DiGi might bring along iPad 3G package to boost their Turbo 3G sales.

I'm a DiGi user but too bad I has had already got mine from Maxis. DiGi most probably has lost most of their iPhone customers

Don't forget that there is still many consumer wanted to purchase Iphone but due to long waits from Maxis has turn them down. But now they get another chance to get it from DiGi. Who knows DiGi can speed up the waiting list since DiGi well known for their friendly customer service.

competition is great for consumers!

this is good news. with Digi knocking on Maxis's door. this will create a more competitive market and us users will benefit from it.

price wise for the phone, i don't see much difference. but i have a good feeling Digi will offer a much more attractive plan than Maxis's current iValue plan.

just look at Digi's unlimited data, already 50% cheaper.

This is good. looking forward to the launch.
Competition will be good.

Cool.... hope better deals than maxis and get the chance to switch to 3gs

very good news indeed but i'll come back to the same thing if waiting list is too long

i've always wanted to go to digi from my maxis
so now the time has cum

Digi Rocks.
RM55 for unlimited 3G is definitely pawn Maxis plan.
Assume they will use same 3G rate

yeah, competition means lower price !

good sign for us to be a consumer.

i believe that maxis will eventually lower down their package for sure. like wat happened in SG, after starhub and m1 joined the market, singtel have lower its price plan to compete

Aiseh, just after one month i got my iphone from maxis, digi announces this

And i have been using digi prepaid all this time.. nevermind, let's see what digi has in store for their prepaid users like me..

COOL!!!!

i can wait for DG plan
hehe XD




hehe XD
me too~~
jus wait for digi.
their blackberry plan kinda expensive ><

Currently i using Digi 3G, so far the speed didn't dissapoint me. Normally can get 900 to 1mpbs.

i was very tempted to switch to maxis for the iphone package...glad i stayed on with digi..planning to get this once its out.

currently on the rm 48 package which is great for teethering. this is a good news for me

well this day was about to come some day and yes, it has arrived.

most of us(me specially) was hoping celcom to bring in the iphone, but actually digi from nowhere appeared which i am more happier about.

well said, maxis has to improve their crappy service if they dont wanna see their customers move away to digi now....

Few of us just got our iPhone 3GS from Maxis last week and bounded with 12-months and 24-months contracts. It seems like we are buying too soon, but we wait for so long for it as the stocks depleted earlier 2010 and late 2009. Now here comes this breaking news. It is really shocking. Never expect Digi will gets their hands on iPhone too. But good to have competitions and we will be expecting a full-fledged price war in Malaysia. How will Maxis keep their current users happy? 12-months end very fast and Maxis will lose them all if they don't do it right.

Thy Soul Blog by iPhone fans

Interest year 2010. Will Celcom gives us some surprise too?

holy maderrr... hahaha i already excited about this..

haha.. once come out.. i direct go sign up..

rm55 for digi unlimited 3g usage, but u need to sign up to postpaid first is it not?

lol time to change my iphone 017 sim to my 016 sim

Celcom is going to join the iPhone war soon.
DiGi will start selling iPhone next month

Source

Can't wait to see their package.

Compared to that speedtest.net

This is what i obtain from my current Maxis 3G and my location just iPoh, Perak.



I wonder how DiGi can improve it.

+1 n lets hope their package/rates can be cheaper too due to competitive environment.
Consumer rules!

Hmm.. This is weird. For current digi '3G' customer, are you guys using 3G Turbo or actually 3G broadband? Because IINM, 3G Turbo is promised a speed of only up to 384kbps while broadband is higher, at 700kbps. Please clarify here, because these two is definitely different.

Alright. I just went to Digi website. And they actually offer Likely Average Speed of 700kbps down and 200kbps up. For Internet Unlimited 58, the quota is 3GB, however unlimited here refer to you still can use the internet after exceeding quota but at throttled speed of 128kbps.

I doubt digi can offer lower price for the phone alone. They will lower their rate and cheaper package. Then again you'll be tied into a contract just like what maxis did. For those aiming lower price iPhone can forget about it cause pricing of iPhone is controlled by Apple.

That is nice speeds in ipoh, Perak. But can you get that speeds always in the Klang Valley area? Is that speed reliable?

well we'll nvr know wat digi going to do...as always they like to suprise us...

I believe 3g turbo and broadband is the same using 3g signal. Just in broadband area, the 3g speed is greater.

Btw signing up unlimited 58 for the first year will have discount of rm10. so only rm48 per month for 'unlimited' data.

but i got frens using Digi postpaid, the line really sucks compared to maxis, but maybe their 3G is good after seeing so many feedback in this thread....

maybe there is a way to use the maxis line but Digi data? ahaha this would rocks pals....

I'm not from Klang Valley, so i can't comment on that area.

Besides that speed i'm getting actually inside my house.

Speed can consider reliable as i had tested weekly.

just that digi 3g coverage is still not on par with maxis, if they fix this and give out better plan rates which i have no doubt on that since maxis already given out their plan for them to compare with...
see whats happen with iphone 4g, might go with digi... gonna abandon my maxis 3gs WOOHOO

Nice speed there. But, how consistent is this speed? DiGi 3G speed is consistent at 1Mbps.

geez... I just got my iphone last week from maxis. Is it likely that they are going to re-structure their ivalue monthly fees for subscribers who just signed up like me? Coz if not, and if digi's offer is better, I'm really unlucky then

maxis might adjust in response to competition but I do not think you can change your plan since you have signed for 24 months.

hehe...good competition for the end-users. Apples doesn't usually allow second operator to sell iphone, I wonder what happened that caused them to approve second iphone operator in Malaysia.

not really true, bro. Australia, singapore, france and canada among the countries which have multiple sellers. it all boils down to the money on offer

let me guess...
someone complain that the waiting period is too long for repair?

haha.. probably bcos apple get complain from malaysia that maxis waiting period for repair and waiting list too long lo.. that y allow other telco to selling as well?

I hope that Maxis will include the newly signed up customers for the new ivalue rate, if they plan to update them. I emailed both Celcom and Digi early January and both denied having future plan to offer the iphone. But now in Feb, Digi came out with this . jphlau, yeah I was lucky that I didn't opt for the 24 months contract. But it's frustrating, waiting all this while for other telcos to offer the iphone and when I actually signed up with Maxis, Digi pop this news. . BTW, Maxis KK still got plenty of units, mine having the old boot rom.

If you want some inside information, you cant just email them. If your email, ...only those low level employees will reply you. Well...low level employees are mostly not updated with the newest information by the high levels.

i am also using the digi unlimited plan....what i see is i can get good receiption around town like kl, pj, subang jaya, sunway and so on but when i was in batu pahat during chinese new year...it dont seem to detect the 3g at all...only edge is available and the speed is amazingly sucks though ..

good news! hope Digi launches their package with iPhone 4G!!

Lets hope Digi will allow customer to buy them at discounted rate using points. I have a few thousands points unused...

Ops. . Then My Ivalue Plan Should Delay?

I still think maxis all the way(for now)

probably wait for a few months, after they sorted out some problem(if there are any) for the customers.

only when people should go for digi

Digi has always been cheaper, but their line quality frankly speaking; is simply horrible.

i used their postpaid line for 2 years and the reception was poor and i calls kept getting cut in between, not to mention cross lines(suddenly find myself conversing with a stranger..).

maxis has much better overall line quality, be it for 3g surfing or making calls.

these are some thing to take into consideration as well, not just see who can offer cheapest then jump ship

Yaaahhh .. surely is GOOD news .. but for iphone 4G .... Dream On .. my fren ....

but as for the $$$ on the hand set of Iphone 3Gs .. i doubt ..Digi will go cheaper then Maxis .....

I will assume that the market "WAR" will be the "DATA" use packages ...

and I hope "DIGI" learn the "lesson" from Maxis of the issue of running OUT of STOCK .. on the 16G Gs version ....

who knows DIGI might only sell the 32 G version nation wide ....

anyway ... just one more month of waiting ... we will see ...!!!!

after Digi, Celcom will come in with LeeHom Wang (Their goodwill ambassador) will be showing on TV commercial promoting iphone. Hahaha

That was what I used to believe in, until I switched from DiGi to Maxis. Maxis line was worse! Now I'm happily back on DiGi line. Just hope that DiGi will have a cheap package for iphone once it's launched.

Just Like SG. Red (Singtel), Green (Starhub), Orange (M1)

Well. Malaysia, Green (Maxis), Yellow (Digi), Blue (Celcom)

Phone Price? Wun Be Cheaper. ( I Guess Fixed By Apple).

Data / Phone Plan Is Key Part.

I am using digi on my iphone currently. Digi is great and good value for money, however their 3g coverage is very poor. Even in some 3g coverage area (as per digi website), there is no 3g, only edge.

totally agree dude....I also using digi for my iphone.....however...the Edge connection is not bad after all...in fact...I really happy using digi edge connection.... quite fast although not as fast as 3g.....maybe it is because not many people using digi nowadays......

the only problem with using edge is that people cannot called in and go straight into voicemail.

excactly i am also on digi and switch to maxis during 2002 or 2003 i think and for the line experience? abang adik la! but the bill is easily 2 times and above
within 3 months back to digi

This post has been edited by gurus: Mar 4 2010, 06:45 PM

any rumors on digi iphone plan?

i hope their call + data plan is attractive for their new iphone customers, phone price will be much similar to maxis..standard to apple pricing.

I agree... What's worse. I'm in Sabah...

Yea, many of my colleagues are on Maxis and they also complaint Maxis is getting worse nowadays..seriously!

Me support Yellow Man. On and off got weak coverage but overall I am satisfied with the service

yeah same even in sarawak not all area is 3g covered..only in some parts in kch.

but at the end if compare to maxis i still think that yellow man still cheaper then maxis.. now waiting digi came out iphone

as well 4g.. haha.. if come out in digi then rely nice

where or which telco is cheaper..is really depends on you...who call,,.which telco you often call..there one of friend always says that his maxis bill is hifh..and digi cheaper...but when i saw his bill 70% of call he is making to digi..how you expect maxis will be cheaper...what digi can do is maybe a better or cheaper value plan or data...

Why you expect DiGi bring iPhone 4G as Apple hasn't announce the iPhone 4G yet ?

Let's any DiGi insider tell us any news here

will await for the digi iphone package deal, two telco operator for me to use by then..lol digi & maxis.

when is it launching actually? in another 1-2 months?

hopefully my next month can know the package deal from digi, from their site can subscribe to the send me a notification on the iphone package deal when its out for their customers

welll lets just hope then...really wanted to get another 3gs for my gf but maxis is the only sole distributor atm and we are on digi...

something worth reading
http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...64&sec=business

very good news.. i can see that digi got put a lot of effort that getting it.. haha.. i also waiting digi plan and continue support it.. maxis is too heavy for me..

celcom also coming in for the soup.. this is a very very good competitive for maxis..

its going to be something singapore is doing...singtel was the first and recently all the telco have the plan...

food for thought :

When Digi brings in new batches of iPhones, they would most likely come with OS 3.1.3 with the NEW bootroom.

say goodbye to jailbreaking.. heh

maxis peeps are just not happy about digi bringing in iphone

for years...no doubt maxis line is better than digi and that's because maxis named themselves as a "premium" telco

digi is not bad~sometime might have crappy line but the plans are always cheaper than maxis and they are very competive

so if you want good line..opt for maxis hence you'll be paying much more..as simple as that what you use is what you pay

2 thumbs up for digi!!

This post has been edited by m3lv: Mar 7 2010, 08:44 PM

depends bro even the current new iphone from maxis is 3.1.2....so the distributor will be same...

yup.. depend on the stock of the quantity.. like my friend in sabah he get the iphone with old bootroom bcos less ppl purchase ma.. old stock..

Finally iPhone is available from Digi, i've been waiting for this day to come. Not sure it will come but now it's like dream come true lol.

At last DiGi is here to be the first competitor of Maxis. Most probably competitive price will come out between both of them.

This post has been edited by denzel88: Mar 8 2010, 06:32 PM

when there is competitor, will there be any changes to the price of the iPhone? or the different is the plan available?

iphone price is fixed...so what they can give is always the plan....contract..

i heard from news the profit they earn is too high and they might decrease the price? will this be affecting the price in the market? or they will decrease the price for the new generation iPhone?

well i also heard that the new iphone 4g...which possibly launch in june might have a price cut...so at that time the prices will be reduce..but if digi comes in the mean time ..the outright would be similarly same but the phone price might be lower on the contract version...
