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.
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).
