btw.. after i check around.. nahh.. i dun think it's a competitive price..

for minutes and access fees plan.. they trying to go back to the old price.. which is 20sen per min and 8sen per sms.. how can.. prepaid already 1 sen per sms.. i remember my RM 80 minutes plan exceed close less thn that.. and it doesnt benefit lower end users like me..

the data package.. RM 80 for streamyx user is still expensive.. i would like to get 1.. but RM 80 per month... have to think of it again.. why cant they have data package like singapore.. haih...

Hmm, they seem to give like at least 50 more free minutes now for RM80 and above plan.

The RM50 plan has no change. >.<

So do you all think it is attractive? To me narr,so so only la in fact it becomes more expensive Rm0.20/min! So if call for 4sec become 0.10 lasttime 0.08

I wonder what are the calling blocks now. Is it still charged at 30-sec blocks or is it 15 or 20-sec blocks now?

Celcom is betting on the family package to raise revenue. But how many users will switch? people just dont call 4 lines only. In fact they call other people also.

and the extra calls of 20 sen/min after the alloted time sucks. What is celcom trying to do? They suppose to encourage people to call more, not less!

The Minutes plan failed miserably due to high churn rate after it was launched. And they still maintain that plan.... AND MAKE IT MORE EXPENSIVE now.

normal people just dont talk to 4 people, and the high rate of RM400 will put off many normal users. Who really want to intertwine their line with 4 people? for an instance,In one family , most likely all the children has their own prepaid lines already...do u think the father will sign up for 4 lines and give it to their children so that they can talk with their children/wife limitlessly? The children might not want to give up their hotlink/ digi prepaid.

I just went to the telco shop yesterday, the salesperson does not want to promote the RM400 plan because she says it's too EXPENSIVE and not many customers will like that plan... haha..

celcom you really need to sack your current marketting officer and hire a better one.

It's kind of sad that you possess such good infrastructure but you dont know how to make use of it. pity.

Yes,sack them just like D.Trump you're fired!!!!!!!!

I think it is still the same at 30 seconds per block. Don't think they will so smart to reduce the block second

look at this:

Minutes Plan
RM 50 (Free 250 minutes + 20 SMS)
RM 80 (Free 500 minutes + 30 SMS)
RM 120 (Free 800 minutes + 50 SMS)
RM 200 (Free 1400 minutes + 100 SMS)
Usage exceeded monthly allotment (20 sen/min and 8sen/SMS)

if u feel 20sen/ min is expensie when u use RM80 plan .. then go for RM120 plan.

i think we shd know which plan more suite to our own usage...

come on guys .. how can we use 100% sharp at 500 minute if we use Rm80 plan ? ))

Well, last year i wanted to sign up for celcom minutes plan. I was warned by one of the ex-celcom user about celcom plan. He said that celcom has the propencity to change their mind, terms and conditions very frequently.

with the new celcom minutes plan, they effectively increased their postpaid call charges from 15sen to 20 sen for all minutes plan. A few of my friends are on minutes are very upset with celcom because they on RM80 plan and normally exceeded the alloted minutes. It means they have to pay MORE now than last time.

They are working adults, they dont have so much time to go to celcom office to change their plans.

what is wrong with celcom? they are betting the Rm400 will be well received by the public ( which i doubt, the salesgirls at the telco shop all told me customers dont want to sign up , they dont dare to promote also) at the EXPENSE of the existiing celcom minutes subscribers.

shakehead. this is another of celcom undoing. i can see the number of their postpaid customers will continue to shrink.

it is good to see so as it proves that the CEO has made the wrong marketing plans and their marketing plan managers should be fired off..

If I were them, I will locate RM10 access fee for normal plan.

RM40 fee for 200 mins, exceed = 0.15/min

can u guys please compare the old and new minutes plans properly...

look... old plan rm80 = 450 minutes, about 18sen/minute
new plan rm80 = 500 minutes, 16sen/minute.
u get 2sen/minute cheaper or 50 minutes extra talktime than the
previous plan.

for those who always exceed their minutes, better change
to rm120/800minutes plan = 15sen/minute, a lot more cheaper...

yeah is true

calculate the usage then choose the right plan

i guess most of u got misunderstood

i think this is their strategy..

they offer more minutes for existing plans.. yup.. it's a good move..

BUT.. after the minutes bundled with the plan, each minute is 20sen/min.. which is actually high..

comparing RM 80 plans.. last time extra minutes cost 15sen/min only.. it means actually it's more expensive to make EXTRA MINUTES..
