I agree that Celcom have 'widest coverage' even in the ulu-ulu areas got 3g.but arent their 3g speeds slower compared to Maxis & DiGi as too many users are using the 3g network. Celcom is a good choice if you want widest 3g coverage but in terms of speed is it ok?

This is totally coolness.. I'm gonna wait for a while and let see celcom can offer..

I honestly, don't want to change to Maxis/Digi as I can't get 3g connection anywhere/anytime..

I'd rather wait as I'm totally happy with celcom for now. I've subscribed their Celcom 50 + Celcom rm68 broadband.

don't expect cheaper... Celcom's plans r usually same or more expensive than Maxis.
better is possible... RM99 basic plan? they do have the widest 3G coverage...

So far Celcom offer the most reasonable price for micro sim. Only RM 10 compared to RM 25 (Maxis) and RM 20 (Digi).

Celcom Axiata is offering the micro SIM nationwide starting from October onwards. Selected Blue Cube outlets will be offering it as well. Although Celcom is not bundling any iPhone 4 or iPad 3G at the moment, they are obviously wanting to cash in on the new devices with this SIM format.

Existing Celcom subscribers can switch to the micro SIM for only RM10, which is cheaper than DiGi‘s RM20 and Maxis‘s RM25 pricing.

For new broadband subscribers, it is believed that you can select micro SIM instead of the normal SIM for free.

So iPhone 4 and iPad 3G users, you now have a 3rd choice with Celcom.

not really...i think maxis have widest 3G coverage compare to celcom..based on my experience

as for me it's another way around.
base on my experience after using maxis for 6 years, celcom 8 years, celcom way better. even pairing celcom with 3gs perform better than maxis+3gs.
[base on location around penang, kedah (baling, Sg petani, kulim), perlis, gopeng, ipoh and around plus expressway]

if celcom gonna launch iphone 4 soon, definitely a good news for consumers. thumbup.gif

Luckily I had read thru this thread.
If not I guess I have to get a M or D line for not using it because I want to get the Iphone 4 with my Celcom line.
I will just wait until Oct or maybe Dec.

Just wanna share some info here.. There's always pros and cons.. No telco in Malaysia is super perfecto..

I am currently on Celcom RM50 voice and RM68 mobile broadband (limited to 5g but no charges if you exceed).. So far, I never receive any SURPRISE bills.. Infact I'm saving a lot more with Celcom rather than Maxis with the similar usage (both data and voice)

But, yes.. like i said.. there's no prefect telco in malaysia, just yet! The data coverage is like HELL PUAKA ok! I will suck you battery up like puaka.. Hate it so much, but what to do, I prefer Celcom than Maxis.. Especially if you are in KL... wah.. the coverage will go up and down like nobody business... and they oso will lost suddenly.. even the voice call oso will drop or sometimes you can't even make a single call!

And yes.. when the nextwork is rawks.. the speed sangat laju.. love it to the max.. Celcom can works with Celcom.. just sometimes the network.. other than that you will love it to the max!

Personally for me, and i use both maxis, celcom and digi. (No internet for Digi, gila ah)

I find in terms of network coverage by location, Celcom is better, in terms of location being covered.

Stability, both ok. although Maxis seems to drop more than Celcom.

Speed wise, Maxis is definitely faster a bit.

me too, got bb curve then sold. getting n900 for my bb contract. then sold. now thinking to get either nokia n8 or ip4.

actually, fast or slow ur internet surfing depends on locations, time use (peak time sure prob) bla bla bla. advantage to celcom because of coverage that almost comprehensive. curently im using celcom broadband (unlimited but 5gb & the fastest package), at my office area, internet very gud n stable but when i using at my home, stability n speed like he*l...

....... now thinking get ip4 from celcom (but have to wait another weeks) or just get from my frenz that using digi package but want to sell his ip4 wif great offer. smile.gif

Waa...... after reading so many positive feedbacks regarding Celcom's service vis-a-vis Maxis and DiGi, I am tempted to move from M to Celcom since I am now using iPhone4. However, my previous experience with Celcom was not a very pleasant one. Now hesitating whether to switch and give Celcom another try or not. Any encouragement???

Possible to changed the BB plan to Iphone 4 ? If can, maybe have a penalty? My personal opinion, better you get from your frenz and using with BB plan.

Taking aside customer service, which frankly i have bad experience with all 3 of them. (So in general, telco customer service sucks), I think if you're travelling a lot, celcom is a better option. but if you're mostly in kl / pj / selangor state area, any of them should do. Since they all cover klang valley well.
