It's a deal sign between mother company axiata and telenor. It's confirmed otherwise they won't announce

Confirmed or not confirmed is not important, the important thing is as of CURRENT is still a problem, I'm going to invest my money and time and then take the risk to wait for the improvement. Now, DiGi's line is still need a lot of improvement

I think the trend of the Telco now is offer as longer period as possible for the contract in order to lock-in customer. I bet DiGi is going to launch with the similar pricing as 3GS but maybe lower down the iPhone 4 price.

The good thing about the DiGI plan is the free SMS is for all telco not only digi to digi but DiGi's line coverage is still a issue nowadays...

MNP *ALWAYS* takes some time, there's no on-the-spot.
you have to do MNP, your unused credit would be burned, and you can only purchase your iPhone4 when the MNP is completed.
*
In that case, I need to go to DiGI centre and do MNP first to anticipate the DiGI launching soon? If I were to subscribe to Maxis postpaid from Hotlink, does it require more time as well or it could be activated on the spot?

Most possible because Apple or the Local Telco Governance will not allow competition on pricing at the same time

If I remember correctly, you can't change plans for 3 months after porting over to digi.

If in that case, I think I'll stuck with Maxis in order to retain my existing no. sad.gif

Both a13solu3 & Wiraone are correct

a) If you do MNP now, you will lock into one plan/package for a minimum 3 months

b) iits best if you wait for the iPhone 4 plan to launch, then MNP for its new iPlan.  You will be able to get your iphone 4 once you are successfully ported over (which take sometimes )

update:

c) port in to Digi prepaid now, then you can sign up for iPlan during iphone launch
a13solut3
I just read that MNP will lock you to one package for minimum 3 months, so I advise those who want change to iPlan, don't try to MNP now, or you will stuck with DiGi smartplan for minimum 3 months.

How do MNP into DiGi prepaid?

Does anyone know if Hotlink user can convert directly to iDiGi using MNP on the spot assuming the event falls on 24 Oct ? Or do I need to go to Digi Center to settle the MNP first?

If comparing between Digi and Maxis side by side using 2 years plan, Digi is cheaper .. For Maxis, the saving from the phone compare to Digi is 2490 - 1790 = RM700. But comparing using plan, Digi has the edge, Digi is RM63 while Maxis is RM100, diff is RM37, RM37 x 24 months = RM888. So in long term for 2 years, Digi saving is RM888 while Maxis is only RM700. So, if contract 1 year take Maxis better.

USA iPhone has always been sold with 2 year contract. don't want contract, pay full price. crazy? this is smartphones. get used to it. its only 2 years, by that time... will be time to buy another iPhone smile.gif
if you really don't want a 2year contract, buy outright when its available later. right now, its for contract purchase only smile.gif
@echoesian
thanks for the maths. there's another factor. Maxis will charge your for overage on data usage. Digi will not. so there's a safety net.

too bad... DiGi has no 1 year plan.. if got i straight jump to DiGi liao.. cos Maxis 200 free sms is only for Maxis to Maxis... What da...

The promotional monthly fee is only applicable for the first 24 months.
After the first 24 months, the monthly fee will be charged at the normal rate.

what does this mean? after the 2 year contract then back to 88 per month? what if i want normal postpaid plan?
*
After the 2 years contract, the plan reverted back to RM88 / month if you want to use back the plan.

It depends. Maxis offers 12 months contract, i'm sure there will be CHEAPER plan 9 months from now, especially right before the launch of the next iphone, and Celcom is going to offer iPhone soon, with 3 telcos competing for iphone subscibers, there will be competitive plans in the coming months. To tie you for 2-3 years is crazy, even they offer unlimited internet.
*
Agree, cos I foresee there will be more competitive plans from time to time... if wanna take this risk one should opt for Maxis plan then...

From 24th September onwards, you can purchase the iPhone 4 at 45 participating outlets:

If buy from one of these outlets, can I get the rebate RM100?
