Before I got my nexus from digi, I had 2 phones.
Phone A: Maxis line (daily use) and Phone B:Maxis line for family to call me only (don't use much but pay >RM150 due to contract)
I am also a existing digi user under contract for a 3rd phone (used by someone else). when i went to digi to get nexus 4, they gave me 2 options:-
1. Just buy the phone at RM1499. no commitment. OR
2. RM499 to buy phone and sign 2 year contract with minimun commitment of RM148 per month. They collect another RM1148 (I can't remember how this figure is derived) in advance but will be deducted progressively from future monthly bills.
Since my Phone B: Maxis contract just over already and I still pay >RM150 per month (I don't know why cause I dont use it much) then i decided to cancel my Phone B Maxis Line. Then I opted for Option 2. So no differnce for me in terms of monthly expenses.
I asked the sales girl whether can terminate the Digi Plan she said must use for at least 3 months then only can cancel. when cancel they have a formula to calculate how much you have to pay when cancel. anway if after 3 months cancel, the "loss" is equivalent to RM100 penalty + First 3 months bill. You probably need to top up some money so that the cost of the phone is still RM1499.
I think I will terminate after 3 months instead of commitment RM148 for 24 months which will make the phone very expensive. then for my 2nd phone I just buy a RM30 per month prepaid card is good enough.
In hindsight I should have just bought the phone at RM1499.
Update: I just checked digi website, I think for existing digi user now no need to pay the advance rm1148 anynmore
For your information,
Zero Contract or 24 Month Contract , Your device price will be RM1499. The website indicates phone price after Saving. Or you can try to click buy now.
The different is you get RM25 rebate x 24 = RM600 months for 2 years contract and pay RM43 monthly . And NO ADVANCED PAYMENT. This is when i went to DG centre and Dealer , i tot i could get phone price at RM899.
You can terminate after two days, this is what the staff told me.
Use 1 month first then only terminate . Total will be RM68+RM100=RM168. because no advance payment during u purchase the device.
You can check first page. Purchasing channel there. RM1499- RM200 SKMM(if u got) + RM68 or RM48+ RM100= The total amount you have to pay. RM48 you want , go DEALER store . DG centre dont allow you to get RM48.
