This is a very unprofessional thread.
Just to show how mathematic works,

Digi 138 Plan comparison

Below is what TS claim :

New Promo Pay RM175 x 24 = RM4210 <-------
If take old DiGi 138 plan : RM 4292
If take this NEW PROMO : RM 4210
I cannot think how is RM4210 >>>> RM4292

If you want promote Maxis, please use a more professional thread title.
If you dont know math, please ask you primary school teacher.
If you never look at your bill and dont know how it works, ask your mom who pay for you.

Wow,i never thought i'll say this but this is a big blow to DIGI BIGTIME..digi are going to be butt hurt because IT IS ON THEIR OWN OFFICIAL WEBSITE..read carefully and calculate it.

I actually open your link and open the 'Compare Plans' part in the table 'Total cost of Ownership'..will digi fans will surely blindly agree with the given rates of digi n its competitor, I for one am not ignorant..i'll break it down to you guys;

DO ANY ONE OF YOU NOTICE THE "Total Cost Over 24 Months (Phone + Subscription Fees)" for competitor is actually forget to minus the advance payment for the phone,which is rm600 for celcom and rm620 for maxis??digi is calculated correctly because they dont impose the advance payment n already net after rebate..for celcom n maxis,they only sums the phone price + commitment fees for the whole duration period..if u calculated the ACTUAL TOTAL AFTER MINUS THE ADVANCE PAYMENT WHICH WILL BE REBATE in 5 months statements(maxis,celcom i dont know),the difference is not as big as these cheaters claim,which are the figure highlighted red in the table..even celcom is actually lower than digi on some storage size!!! think malaysians are stupid is it??flame me if i'm wrong

it's NOT supposed to be professional, you really think I'm going to push Maxis or whatever here? You think I'm working for them or something? Just a customer here trying to get the best value for his money, and dissatisfied with DiGi's marketing tricks is all.

I didn't go through moderfader's post yet, but the point is there is NO more old DiGi138. Instead they've switched the numbers around and went about crowing about their brand new and best yet "deal". Which is misleading to say the least.

Creative Marketing? heh.

um, I can compare between the plans and value so forth. but for actual one, I can't really cos' I don't live where you are and coverage would widely differ I think. Probably discuss with some of the KL users in Maxis thread or DiGi thread? they can give you a much better view I suppose.

That is the downside of Digi, poor network coverage on some key areas including KLCC. I rather pay more for better network smile.gif

But of course, Maxis also got its downside. But their support via twitter is very fast. thumbup.gif

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.





QUOTE(katnl @ Jul 31 2012, 11:55 AM)
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.


Added on July 31, 2012, 11:59 am

yeah, very true.

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.

I don't believe you understand the point of my grievance. This was never about DiGi vs Maxis, or the term of the contract.

It's about packing an old thing and branding it new.

Govt gave DiGi a low spectum compared to Maxis and Celcom so they suffer when it comes to indoor coverage. It's not entirely their fault when telco licenses are regulated in this wonderful country. Not everyone understands the reason why indoor coverage for DiGi is bad.Most of it due to spectrum issues.
