It's merely to highlight that they're not far off from Maxis. They're just presenting the entire plan from a different perspective.

That's assuming you take a 12 month plan. Or buy the phone without a plan...

I'd like to mention AGAIN...that the 5% is NOT FOR USING EPP. This 5% is SERVICE TAX which will be reflected in your bill.

Maxis will ALSO charge service tax, but they did not mention.

This SERVICE TAX is charged to ALL POSTPAID LINES.

Some simple calculation.

Phone + (Plan x 24 x 1.05)

2000 + (68 x 24 x 1.05) = 3713.60.

Nope...not cheaper.

BUT...you can drop the plan anytime you want. No contract marr...

MNP'ed to DiGi. Now waiting for the "telco gods" to approve my MNP. Should be able to collect my unit tomorrow. Don't think I want to activate my iPhone at DiGi. They put their grubby hands all over the phone. EWWW. Will probably go put screen protector and case before I even turn it on.

Oh. Forgot to mention. I signed up at the SS2 branch. I was there since 7.20am...but waiting in car...then someone decided to start the queue at 8am, so had to get out of the car lar...basket. Was in waiting/processing room at 9am, finished my stuff about 9.35am. Now at work.

At 9am, there were only about 30 people in the queue. More easygoing compared to Maxis madhouse. Hehe!

I think now total should be abt 100 in queue liao...

No. You pay RM3,677.60

2090 and the plan for the next 24 months. If you exit contract got penalty.

Went to check things out at Quill. I must say it was pretty great chillax experience unlike lining up for sevenbillionyears for a certain other telco.

I think DiGi was smart to serve up the phones nationwide first to deal with the first wave and first adopters. That way, the carnival is less of a madhouse.

I can't imagine this strategy to have been an easy choice especially in a boardroom discussion with upper management, so kudos to DiGi for having some balls. GOOD JOB DIGI!

The number could be slightly different depending on outlet. I was at SS2.
