@CapKapak
sure or not? got proof?

@devil_corp@hotmail.com
usually, if you're blacklisted on the shared telco list, its pretty much impossible to sign a new contract. feel free to try. I already got yelled at by 2 people who wanted to try, even after I said probably cannot, they still queued up for 1 hour...

Hey guys, in twitter K.Kugan of Malaysianwireless.com says the iPhone4 will be available this weekend in 1U at 'special price'. And mentioned that details of DiGi iPhone4 plans/prices will be up in his blog tomorrow

@xaw5126
I'm not sure myself as I've yet to see it myself but as far as I know The Edge reported it in their news portal.

they was to late.. most of their customer will lompat tu digi and maxis due to Iphone 4 wave..
Unfortunate for them.. soooo stupid.

I don't understand Tinkerbell. What constitute as speculation on DiGi plans? They discussed about the plans with pricing? I didn't see them doing that in the last 50 posts. They are just waiting anxiously for DiGi to announce the plans, and are guessing whether there is any announcement today. Also, they are hoping that DiGi would have better pricing than Maxis, and possibly, selling the phone outright without contract.

In football forum - speculation is when they predict the scores. Predicting the first eleven would not constitute as speculation and is welcomed in that thread.

In real world sense, speculate is to project something that is non-existing for a certain reason - like speculating land price so that the land may appreciate in value.



If you do not work with DiGi or Maxis, who are you to say that they do not earn any profit by selling the phone outright?

People want ASTRO for the TV channels (services), the dishes and decoder (physical items) are secondary. People want iPhone for the phone (physical item), the data and line (services) are secondary because they want to be able to choose their own service provider. Your analogy is flawed.



Again, if you do not work with DiGi or Apple, who are you to know that DiGi do not earn more than a few ringgit from selling the iPhone outright?

I MNP my Maxis Postpaid to Digi prepaid already, prepared for iPlan liao!

@a13solut3

Kudos to you, I was a Maxis customer then MNP'ed to Celcom then finally to Digi. The only way we going to get fairer pricing is to play the populous game

for singapore, eventhough they have telcos selling the phone with a contract plan, the apple store in singapore still sells the iphone 4 outright. maybe or hopefully this will happen here as well ? but i seriously doubt so !

hopefully DiGi won't be as disappointment to me like in the past few years.

For telco complaints, you may lodge a complain to MCMC/SKMM

It is the same for insurance/banking/finance, complaint to Bank Negara.


@clayclws,

For hot products in Malaysia now, like iPhone 4, telcos will not sell direct for the first few months. They don't earn much from a single sale to one user, with all the promo/marketing cost. Telco would rather tie you down for 12-24 months contract, i.e. recurring monthly revenue for them.

Therefore, if they do sell direct, do not expect below 2.4k for 16GB or below 2.8k for 32GB. Most probably similiar price like previous 3GS, RM2490 and RM2990.

is there any news on DiGi Plan and rates??

bro wat u smokin lar..hahahaha.. its already stated the RRP should be 2290 and 2690. they cant sell outright more than these prices. outright should start after d postpaid customers finished their shoppin spree. unless ofcorse the RRP differs from maxis, which clearly wont happen as it is controlled by Apple.

There is no doubt telcos earn money from selling phones outright. Xaw's point is probably that telcos earn a lot more from contracts and since demand should far exceed supply now, they might want to give priority to people who want the contracts so it's a long shot that they'd sell them outright from the off. It's a reasonable guess.

It's just the way he says things though; he often makes personal attacks and comes across as very confrontational. The guy should really take a chill pill.

Your IC should be in the CTOS blacklist. If u need to sign up other telco u need a have a release letter from maxis meaning u need to pay the outstanding amount and maxis will clear u from back list

Yes. I would say that from a business point of view, selling with contract would earn more. I said, "who are you to know that DiGi do not earn more than a few ringgit from selling the iPhone outright?"

But please, read my post again. I was responding to the other guys' post. If he does not work at Maxis, DiGi or Apple, he should not assume he knows better than others, and at the same time, personally attack others. No one knows how much telcos earn by selling outright or with contract, except those in DiGi, Maxis and Apple.

Went to digi centre at one utama today. I asked them is digi releasing iphone 4 this week? His answer?



"Not sure"

Have a read. I'm sure this is significant.

http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/in-the-fina...e-4-launch.html

Yeah, I read your original post and understood it clearly. I agreed for the most part in my reply.

i seriously dont think that they are entitled to answer your question, bro.

can you summarize it? on my understanding, Iphone 4 will be cheaper due to Digi subsidize it a little bit.. is it correct? but it may come a little bit late due to some problem occur to Iphone 4 antenna and etc. Digi are afraid to invest on it (take time)..
