This is because Apple expects payment from Digi for each iPhone sold, same applies to Maxis, and even iPhone in US.

Maxis has 12 mths plan, but u r still paying as much for the iPhone itself, diff is with Digi, the contract is spread even across 24 mths. If cash up front is painful, opt for the credit card 0%PP. U hv option to stretch that to 36 mths (the 24+12 payment option).

So far, as per Maxis, all iPhone plans are for main line only, not applicable to sub-line(s). I doubt Digi will do anything diff (they need to recover their revenue ma), but hope someone can prove me wrong.

Digi's plan is cheaper in the long run, due to the FREE internet data after yr allocation. I think they will throttle yr speed down to EDGE, but its way better than paying 1sen there after as per Maxis.

Its designed to get NEW iPhone buyers, esp those in Dig that have not switched over to Maxis, and in this aspect, i think the Digi plan is good.

I am getting one later....

But be aware that you will NOT be paying yr monthly fees for the next 24 mths...

Say u pay monthly = RM138. With 0%PP, u pay RM191.

So RM191 - RM138 = RM53 per month (for the next 24 mths) to own an iPhone....

I think its worth it.... esp if u plan to stay with Digi for a looooong time...

One quick question: Are all the pre-order collection for 16GBs only??

I pre-order a 32GB, but no notification wor??

Anyone has a collection date for 32GBs??

Ok, thnx, guess Digi forgot abt me then.....

And damn silly for them to arrange collection on a weekday + during ofc/study hours.....

Any of you got the "starter kit"??

am wondering whats in the CD?? Apps, software, games, movies, porn....LOLZ??

I preregistered but DiGi forgot me....

Dont throw!!! put for sale here in lyn.... i am sure many ppl will do that soon.... lolz

I was hoping to get some free "paid" apps, games, stuff for iphone.... so i suppose the pre-order bonus is crappy... will wait till Sat to leisurely get from a digi center lo....

Thnx for the info, hsyong...

wanna ask those who got the pre-order and collected, or was simply at the digi iphone area...

any WHITE iphones they giving out today? i pre-order WHITE but no confirmation to collect these few days....

I have a pre-order confirmation mail with number and all when i registered.... but no mail informing the time and collection ever since.... till now, and i checked my spam box too.... nothing-ness...

wonders if they will let me go in a get an iphone with the pre-order ref number anytime or not??

Yr whitey iphone is 32GBs?? anyone sees a whitey 16GBs??

nothing, no email no sms.... strange....

the earlier mail has no date no time, only pre-order no n what i selected.... nvm ba, will get it later lo...

digi cs says i can use that pre-order no to collect ANYTIME at 1U.... huh??? also, on Sat all 28 digi centres are supposed to get iphone stock... perhaps i'd wait, or i mayb go to 1U tomorrow to kaypoh a bit...

tq

The answer is NO, its not shared (same as Maxis). Only the main line uses those items, yr sub line remains at its original price/package. Yr sub line can be transferred to yr iDigi plan at existing rate/package.

Yes, all pre-order and collected these 3 days, gets a yellow case-mate casing + screen protector, and a cd of itunes and stuff, as the pre-order bonus. They call it "Starter Kit".

Remember to ask for them...

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....

Added on April 1, 2010, 12:13 amI 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???

Not together....

1. principal line can become iDigi, and existing sub-line comes attached with existing plan/package... thats the only option now.

2. principal and sub-lines BOTH become iDigi.... yes, but no longer sub-bed...

3. coz iDigi DOESNT have any sub-line package (yet, and i doubt it as even Maxis iPhone plans doesnt hv sub-lines).

Thats the facts of life with gadgets.... see how Nintendo milks the DS/DSi/DS XL crowd with updates on the same system... and dont offer trade in rebates...

Same applies to iPhone/iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS.... as well as any gadgets in the electronics sector (LCD TV, computers, graphics cards, etc)....

Its the way they stay in business... and with iPhone, be mindful that its APPLE who controls the product and prices... the telco only can play with their packages....

So, either u get it now.... or wait patiently for iPhone4.... haha... even the iPad is not avail anywhere yet.....

Thats if BOTH of u wanna get the iPhone......

If only u get the iPhone (sign up new iDigi plan), yr wife sub-line can be transfer to yr iDigi plan... but she dont get iPhone and dont share yr iDigi plans..... the free calls b/w sub-lines shld be there....

this is my understanding as per the cs...

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???

Depends on if u REALLY want the yellow Case Mate casing (RRP US19.99) that comes as the pre-order bonus if u collect it these 2 days...

Else, u can get it after 3rd from any 28 digi centers (depends on how much stock each center has la)...

The pricing and plan are the same....

i THINK its RM88 + RM30.... but i can be wrong as i not from Digi.... better check with them...

i agree with the Maxis data plan problem.... thats i nvr jumped on the iPhone in Maxis...

Added on April 1, 2010, 1:56 amAnd the delivery of pre-order is on a working/studying day?? what were the marketing and sales thinking??

I think their pre-order pick up will better if they did it over the weekend, more crowd as compared to now being more CS than buyers.... lolz

U shld be able to use data after yr allocation, but the speed will the throttled...

Strange!!!

last nite, I called up DigiCS, was told that my pre-order not in the system, despite me having a mail to verify that i am pre-ordered.

So the CS told me to walk up with the printed mail, and demanded my iPhone + yellow casing.... hv not done that as am still deciding to take an iPhone (to complement my N97 and P1i)...

This morning, i got a SMS from Digi Priority, telling me to collect my iPhone on 13th Apri at Digi Soho KL....

1. Did u all got yr sms from Digi Priority?
2. 13th April?? So long to go to get stocks after PO??
3. Anyone got collection after these few day n collect at Digi Ctr??

TQ
