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.

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.

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

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