Ahh, okay, thanks.

How about the overall coverage in the whole Malaysia e.g Kelantan,Terengganu,Pahang,Penang,Johor etc? How does Digi compares to Celcom?

That I can't tell you as I don't go them often, but I can tell you that Digi is pretty good at Penang, much stronger 4G coverage than Celcom. Speed if you are lucky with LTE-A you can get over 100MBps, but that is usually quite rare.

In the Message menu, did you turn ON the Send as SMS?
Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.

Turn it OFF and test.

If you don't mine, which I always tell people, get a prepaid sim and test in your area. Because speaking about east Malaysia, some area might achieve differently compare to others. Don't have to use for long, perhaps few days or 1 or 2 weeks is enough for you to judge.

Okay, thanks.

True, will try it, thanks.

Never ON it before.

u jus RM 3.00
i kena this month RM 45.00 mang.

maybe because i keep aeroplane mode?
so bila on data kena again?

Sorry to hear that.
This is really sad. Suppose to be free but kena charged for it.

the trick is , when you get the message (facetime activation- carrier may charge for this ) , just press cancel.

you can still use facetime or imessage with email id, but not your handphone number.

yeah. CS Digi say because our mistake. not them


using email is so... not good idea for me.
yeah, should be press cancel but sometimes jus fast2 press oke.

You can set Facetime and imessage with email id but when people imessage you, they will imessage you on your mobile number.
When you reply, will it be from email id or mobile number?

I just called digi to enquire about the facetime/imsg charges.

The guy told me it is not waivable, and the only way to solve this issue is to turn facetime/imsg off on my phone. Ridiculous isnt it?

And he told me everytime I restart my phone i'll be charged. As far as I'm concern, only when we change sim cards right? He further explained that other telcos does not charge as they do not have this IDD sms thing enabled by default which sounds like a full load of crap to me. Since it's RM0.50 i'll just ignore it for now.

At what price point will you stop ignoring it?

For my case, I already lodged report to CFM & SKMM. Lets see what they reply on this.

Maxis - Spotify Premium case
Digi - FaceTime/iMessage charges case
Celcom - Below par network performance

So now all big three got their own issues.

Is this charge under SMS or data? My prepaid campus use to have this RM0.50 charge everyday although I turn off mobile data. To get rid of it I need t subscribe to some data plan, and it will not charge for the subscription period. I use to complain and request for refund, but they never mention anything about FaceTime/imessage. However lately the charge is gone after I subscribe digi IIC.

spotify - not an issue for me because we all know spotify premium isn't free and maxis only gives it as promotional basis

but digi charges for facetime / imessage activation isn't cool because it's part and parcel of iphone feature. the very least they can do, is to waive the sms charge for people who bought iphone from them and under contract.

and they need to put this sms charge in their fine print before signup customers for iphone

no choice. i already turn off that imassage function.
kena 1time RM 0.50 , didnt say anything.
this month kena RM 45.00 ,

well you can change to maxis , they don't charge for facetime/imessage activation

i first noticed the 50 sen charge when i use prepaid , 4)3' when i convert to postpaid iphone, i was told by digi staff that they do charge for imessage activation.

so now i only use my email as facetime / imessage ID. other than that not much complain on digi. still a good telco.

has anyone here written in to digi to highlight the issue?

Spotify not an issue, but more to their pricing strategy.

Wrote in already but they said they cant do much.
