Maxis has it's own issues too. There has been a lot of coverage issues with Maxis lately.
I believe when you signed your contract you knew it was for 24 months. So it was clearly stated. I rather you not call it a scam because you are misleading people . DiGi packaged it for those who want to pay less upfront than buying the phone over 2k.
as above.
I do understand what you're saying. in essence, this plan is the SAME as the previous offer. with 2 EXCEPTIONS.
iDiGi88 customers like me, no longer have an option to extend their contract. basically, DiGi is saying you can't use your cheap plan anymore and you must upgrade to get a further contract. that is to put it in blunt terms, screwing with customers. Lure them in with cheap plans, then force them to upgrade while giving them the illusion that they're actually paying less this time round. classic bait and switch is what it is.
and 2, I don't appreciate DiGi pulling all the stops in promotion, billing this new "PROMOTION" as a sale, cheapest iPhone plan and such. on the surface, it's easy to get suckered. but once you look deeper, you realize they're selling a MORE expensive plan and calling it cheaper?
misleading is the gentle term for it. but I prefer to call it what it is. a bait and switch scam.

I opted for the iDiGi88 at first, since it was technically the cheapest plan around. nevermind that it's actually a layered promotion, classic marketing. but that's the old plan. now there is no cheap plans anymore, iDiGi88 is gone replaced with this more expensive plan.
I would upgrade, but why pay nearly the same as Maxis when I can get better coverage and 3G network with Maxis right? so annoying.
