is the increase across the board. someone else mentioned that my all-in-one plan of rm40 will now be rm49.99...

and I've just ported to friendi from umobile, and now feeling like porting back to umobile instead

don't jump the gun yet, see how this folds out. the other thing is friendi has it's own leased bandwidth from u. U is quite congested due to large user base but friendi is still relatively stable and not congested.

What does this mean?

No more RM10 local bundle. It's now RM15.

to be more exact they discontinued the RM10 bundle, not that the RM10 bundle increased in price to become RM15.

still, I port in to friendi because of that bundle

where did you get this info? until now their web site shows no changes

I checked it via USSD

whoops , 50% increase in price

and now instead of half the data, now it gives rebate in airtime

website still not updated with supposed new pricing....

web site is finally updated with the new prices; not a lot different but much less choice than before.

Well, apparently the internet data charging block is now standardised at 1MB per block irrespective of plans (PAYU or data plans use 1MB block). The new usage block is now stated in the FAQ section.

Hmm ... that means turning on data for quick 2-3 minutes whatsapp will gobble 1MB even with a subscribed data plan.

So, I guess I have to advise those who I recommended Friendi previously to review their bottom lines ...

i will give it a few months before deciding. my bottom line is that I have to pay rm5 more per month but my data is increased from .5g to 1gig. Bottom line may actually improve with the new reload bonuses though.

To be honest, what you're getting is even lesser than before

And so with that, let's take the monthly RM18 for 500mb as an example.

Previously: they give half the amount which is 250mb when you renew the plan.

Now: RM 18 airtime rebate / RM 0.075/mb = 240mb only, 10mb lesser than before

I was going through friendi's tnc to look for more info on the data block counter and I found this:

Terms and Conditions > Data Renewal > Item 3.7

So, I stand to be corrected.

Now apparently the data block counter for any subscribed data plan is 1MB for first MB usage and 3MB subsequently. A single session using 1.1MB will deduct 4MB from your quota. Looks like many friendi data users will soon be wondering why their quota finishes too quickly.

Hard for me to believe friendi is going this route.

I will MNP out from friendimobile my

I just posted in their Facebook:

Your new reload bonus cannot be used to buy all-in-one packages? It seems like a gimmick. How does one use up the bonus in a few days that too you use up the paid airtime first. Your old bonus system seems much better. Sorry I may be porting out my three numbers though it's been a wonderful few months with you...

now i know why suddenly got few customer from frendi

sorry I can't come to onexox - the call rates too high for me. Most probably I will be porting to U power prepaid (call rate 5 cents per 30 sec) or back to Tune Talk where I came from.
