How's surfing on the iphone via digi like with 784kbps compared to Maxis 3.6mbps? is it a dealbreaker?

Areas i frequently visit are Shah Alam, PJ, KL, Bandar Utama. How is the service like there?

is 784kbps enough for skype calls... how bout video calls (via Fring or Facetime in future)?

Need your input as I'm still contemplating on porting to Digi from Maxis. Need to be sure what I'm getting into and need your help to do so.

good luck getting 3.6mbps that's just the 'rated' figure, like how a 2mbps streamyx line doesnt actually get you 2mbps

i've used both maxis broadband and digi broadband before..

maxis line is faster than digi but in terms of latency digi is better

so when using skype, digi quality would be better. maxis will be laggy or drop calls often

in terms of coverage the area u specified should hav sufficient 3g coverage for both operators but digi has some of these "blind spots" where connection suddenly drop to Edge

happen alot of time when i am making skype calls and suddenly disconnected, look at my phone and it is at Edge

Guys lets say I would like to get the iValue 4 for the iPhone 3Gs..How much will it cost totally for the plan(deposit and so on)..

Thanks

Just wait for iPhone 4 launch , then you're able to take a look at the price. I am quite sure that the prices would reduce if the rumours are true !

Yep,I'm waiting for the iPhone 4 currently..Just want to know if I were to get the iValue 4 plan for the iPhone 4,will I need to pay any extra charges(deposit for the plan)?...

Thanks

seriously, with that kind of pricing for iphone 4

i wonder whose gonna buy 3gs 8gb!

just rm100 difference with iphone 4 16gb! (for iValue 1)

but u get the latest iphone, double free data, double free sms, double free mms

too bad the free sms & mms is still applicable for maxis to maxis only

@E-J@1,
People who can't afford the iPhone 4 perhaps?

lol i dont agree much with this point LOL if u would even afford a iphone3gs which is Rm100 cheaper i guess i rather save up abit to get the ip4 and i guess no one would be so dumb to get a ip3gs when ip4 is alrdy launching soon! but i saw an idiot did his working with me! LOL every1 scolded him..

Waiting can be excruciating painful, especially for a person who desired to have an iPhone. Be it 3G, 3G[s] or the latest iPhone 4. Some people can afford to be early adopters. Some are plain laggards in some sense.

@Joey Christensen,
Just cause people purchase it early doesn't mean they're rich (ie: can afford it) ; maybe they've saved for several months oredi?

ok, lets compare

i'm comparing the iValue 1



ignore the iphone 4 32gb version

& ignore the 24 months contract period

just compare iphone 3gs 8gb with iphone 4 16gb on 12 months contract period

same monthly fee for both iphones

just add rm100 compared to 3gs 8gb, u'll get lotsa benefits

latest iphone, double phone capacity, double free data, double free sms & mms

wouldn't u agree so?

exacta, just save up another rm100

seriously, maxis should change their 3gs 8gb plan to be more attractive

yup, for sure not enough stock, just have to be early on the 27th

yea yr rite.. just save up 100 bucks and u could get better rate plans and a better phone too! why so smart?

You do have a point there. However, early adopters do have their own avenue they very much sought after. I don't blame market laggards too since they have a bite on the market apple pie. Oh ya, which makes me come to think, why is it my nephew has a Blackberry when she's just, ermmm...in Standard 3? I got my first mobile when I was 21 years old. Sigh...

I'm checking in for iPhone 4 in October or November 2010. I'm still all ears for other brands as well since we are at the forth quarter of fiscal year 2010. To those who have waited, the time is now or never. Maybe Maxis or DiGi will have the honour first evenhandedly, perhaps? Nonetheless, either party will bring it.

Regards, Joey

another strong reason for those thinking to get the 24 months contract period

extended warranty up to 24 months

Hey can anyone tell me that can i switch my Number(digi) to maxis directly and get it on the spot??

@ljmljm
no, you cannot. porting takes up to 24 hours. you can only collect your iPhone after you've successfully ported to Maxis.

@bizness
the deposit is refunded when you disconnect your Maxis service. Remember, its only for non-Malaysian customers.
