DiGi Prepaid is sorely lacking in good data options for light users.

Not everyone want to use postpaid or can afford a high-end smartphone.

This week I'm using Weekly 250MB @ RM15/week.

After 4 days of what for me is quite heavy usage (check email, lowyat, read news, browse some other sites, use mostsms, etc), my data usage less than 40MB total, so 1 day is use less than 10MB), and the whole week may add up to 70MB which is less than a third of the quota.

I'm using UC browser which I think is pretty efficient on reducing data consumptions.

I'm way below quota and therefore feel the price DiGi is charging is not value-for-money.

Hotlink has 7 mobile internet options, with various quota and duration (and unlike DiGi, only the monthly ones auto-renew)

Umobile has their monthly 500MB for RM28, which works out less than half what I'm paying and interestingly also half the quota under DiGi's Weekly 250MB.

For me, Umobile has hit the relevance button with their prepaid package. I am very loyal to DiGi having been their prepaid customer for 12 years. However, I will not wait forever for DiGi to come out with relevant data offering for prepaid users.

As I see it, there are 3 possibilities:

1. introduce more choices like Hotlink already have

2. modify the PAYU cap to have a staged pricing (example, RM1 for up to 10MB, RM2 for up to 25MB, and etc)

3. offer rebates/rewards for light users that do not exceed the quotas.

then change your friends ba

I'm using DiGi Prepaid Internet Unlimited for my laptop at home every day since June.

It is not super fast, but it is stable and dependable

And it costs RM1/day. It is a good deal

All I want is a similar prepaid deal from DiGi on my hp, instead of having to pay RM2 or RM3 per day (which is too expensive for continuous use).

It was a joke, about changing your friends.

If you are disatisfied with DiGi you should go, talk with your feet. If more people did that, instead of complaining yet staying till the cows come home, then DiGi would get the message to buck up. It is over-loyalty and resistance to change that is maintaining the status quo in terms of DiGi's service quality. However, there are signs that, with the number of DiGi users defecting to Um, DiGi will wake up finally and start doing something.

dear Fruitie

I think misunderstanding. What I mean is if you complain and not satisfied with the answer, then it is really time to move.

It's like resigning a job. You just have to make up your mind and then do it.

Good

and it's nice to see this topic rejuvenated with chapter 9

recently, hardly much posting about DiGi, they are all in the Um mobile thread

it reminds me, years ago DiGi had a slogan : It's about U

sooner or later the yellow and orange will be one company, dunno what colour

in fact, DiGi started turning from yellow to orange already a few years back

if you have plan like that, you should keep it for sure

my monthly usage at home is always within 3G quota on my DiGi plan

not a problem for me

however, telco should use the word Unlimited cautiously these days in view of Trade Descriptions Act 2011 now in force

DiGi using Techno-Savvy for describe DiGi Easy plan - I have no idea why, since the data options are exactly the same as for Best plan these days - another failure by DiGi, they should offer a good data plan to Easy users only

more like the sun is setting on DiGi lately

days are not as sunny as they used to be

complaining sometimes works, when it's about misleading or incomplete information on offers

see the two images below, one before and one after i complained

by the way, i'm not sure the code at the end is correct, on my hp it is ...1# not 2#




Attached thumbnail(s)

quite a few here in LYN have remarked that Um is like the old DiGi

i agree

my expectation is that Um and DiGi will do share swap or something

not yet, maybe a year from now

they should cooperate on 4G at least

something new from DiGi

Super Reload Internet

http://www.digi.com.my/whatshot_v3/superRe...rnet/landing.do

still studying it here, seems a bit ma fan becos need to get special topup coupon

my suggestion to DiGi few weeks ago was much simpler : 30 days free internet when we topup RM100 in one shot

ya, i got IE9 and Chrome

neither is supported

DiGi should update themselves

DChat is the best channel for enquiries

yes, can do talktime transfer from DiGi postpaid to prepaid

however, the validity is less than normal topup and there is a small fee too

http://www.digi.com.my/prepaid/services_talktime.do

http://www.digi.com.my/Broadband/LimitedEd...paidInternet.do

click on the FAQ for details on validity and quota

you can send some of the credit to another DiGi Prepaid user (except on Easy plan) by using TalkTime Trasnfer

though you won't be able to reduce it to zero that way, as there is a minimum balance requirement

yes DiGi provide microsim

however for such a short period of time, i don't think it's worth the troubles of signing up for postpaid

why not consider prepaid? if you only want data service, DiGi have a prepaid data only sim

simpack costs RM25 and you can get microsim one too

details available here

it's still available but only for Best prepaid plan

Easy cannot, of course

other plan, have to migrate to Best first

i doubt it, but can be buy direct from Apple store

and i heard Maxis have i4s on prepaid (dunno if true)
