Walao kanasai Digi rip me off vmad.gif vmad.gif .... I baru signed up on february jer .... like kena fucuk upside down...


And sadly I check... they no upgrade my quota also... still same 5GB ... lose out to ppl who are paying RM68 now vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

Digi treat their customers on contract like crap. When you sign the contract, you are selling your soul to them. To change your package, you would need to terminate your contract which means paying a penalty for it. If not, you can dream on for them to upgrade your current package.

they did not cheat or coerce you when you signed up for their plan few months ago. it was based on willing buyer willing seller basis.

circumstance has changed since then with other telco throwing prices , Digi has to respond accordingly.

I don't see any fraud or malpractice , it's dynamic business environment.

it is not limited to telco. even supermarket gives fantastic offers from time to time. can we cry foul at that scenario too?

there are remedies
1. terminate the current contract and pay a penalty fee
2. write in to Digi to ask them to upgrade your line as a courtesy to you, not an obligation.
3. remains in prepaid line forever in future / or direct purchase your phones with cash instead of some easy payment or telco subsidies.

welcome to the real world where contracts have to be honored

I hate DiGi as well. Ripped off my quota just like that. They tried to cheat me. I checked my data usage and it didn't tally with the quota meter.

I used to have 4 DiGi lines with me. Now I'm slashing that down to just 1.

takkan no one complain or no one else suffered like me meh?


From a customer perspective... I am extremely EXTREMELY unsatisfied with Digi right now.. not just because of the plan but also because the coverage and signal suck so much balls.... in restaurants or often in buildings got 0 line.... on the street sometime putus (rarely) but if such thing can remotely happen also consider VERY VERY bad to me liao..


So far my dad's Maxis line worked like a charm.... my friend U-mobile also worked like a charm...


If Digi coverage can shittier than U-Mobile... my blood boiling like mad liao.... ppl pay RM70 for 15GB .... I pay RM108 for 5GB ... kanasai to the max .. walao think about it also du gao lan leh ... bangwall.gif bangwall.gif



Want to cancel contract but cancel means I have to pay 2 years worth and get nothing out of it.... WALAO.... mad.gif vmad.gif

It's not the matter of contract le bro.... it's business ethics and care for loyal customers or existing customers...


They are not wrong... but I can't say they are not a DOUCHE or ASSHOLE about it....



You cannot compare subscription market to physical goods based market..... In subscription market, buyers don't come and go.... and the theory is to satisfy the customer cause it is 5x harder to get new customers than to retain old ones... from my experience in overseas... if customer's request is not unreasonable.. they will go way out to comply...

I am not asking them to give me 15GB package to match U-mobile also.... just to give me a reasonable quota for a reasonable price... is that so hard to do?? they give me their RM98 plan one also I happy liao... eventhough I am still paying more... at least I know they care... but if No changes... walao REALLY DOUBLE for NOTHING

Don't care much about their hyped up coverage prowess. Just some simple honesty would do. Meaning, do not cheat us on our quota. Either silently or openly. Openly as the one during the Ramadan promo. As in cut from the quota meter altogether after having purchased.

UK no lo bro.... their service is to please their current costumer...


I write letter complain say their telco is not the best in terms of plan and benefit jer... they insta give me rebate...


If you havent notice, UK got this practice where if you can find their competitor price better than theirs and you can collect evidence... they will match it for you or compensate you...



Now I just want to fucking match with Digi's OWN GOD DAMN PLAN also cannot... too much vmad.gif... They know they farked up... but they don't want to admit...

You did get a phone with your plan, is that correct?

In my opinion, the plan that you get with your phone will always be more expensive than normal plan, because you pay less for the phone.

And do compare in detail the plan that you are paying now and that rm68 plan. Do you get the same amount of call/sms?

The RM68 plan is the Device plan.. so it should be the same..

lower call/sms but got other benefit like internet rollback... I don't want call/sms also.. never used...

TS can go negotiate with DiGi

if you got money to buy off your device in one go,
go talk to them and change to your desired package,
maybe need top up a bit lah..... since you need to clear your contract.

TS might need to clear things up.
What plan you're tied with?
What phone you're buying with the plan?
How much is the price with the plan?
How long the contract?
Have you ever read the T&C?

A contract is a contract - get this fact right , and you will find all your arguments are self defeating.

changing package , upgrade plan etc - is not part of the contract, so whatever your sentiments are - they are irrelevant, just saying bro.

Yo chill people..

I'm not saying Digi is in breach of contract... just saying in business ethic wise... they suck balls... thats why I say they make customers felt like they are ripping them off..


1 thing I don't get is why some people are defending Digi though... Digi Machai? You could be lucky you did not encounter this issue... but one day when you do... you will understand it from the consumer's point of view.

reverse this for a moment - what if some accounts department made a mistake in their prices offering for a phone - can Digi write to you to charge you more after realizing their mistake ? they can't - because they'd entered into contract with you. can Digi reduce your monthly quota ? they can't while they are in contract.

it's a buyer - seller thing with both side pledging to HONOUR their terms and conditions.
rule of law and first world mentality should start with ourselves. taking responsibility for our action and not to run away when the facts are clearly not in our favour.

if contract can be changed , and everyone won't honor it how will our country progress? telco will not want to subsidize phones in future due to uncertainty of contract FFK.they also have to provide for "non performing contracts" in their financial report. it will be hard for account department to estimate income from contracts. all this will indirectly affect consumers , because telco will charge an "insurance" on top of the phone prices to provide for FFK contracts.
*
Oh yea.. just so you know..

with all the HONOUR talks... and how we are bound to contract...

Gues what.... Digi allows you to modify your contract as long as they are the one benefiting it... they allow you to midway change plan as long as you are paying more or as in upgrading your plan...

Bottomline.. whatever you do.. as long as they are in the upper hand, they are fine with it...


They are flexible when they get more $$ ... but not flexible even if they KNOW their old customers getting screwed..

again - there is no coercion or force if a customer decides to upgrade halfway. he enters it willingly , and the telco offers it willingly. again it's willing buyer seller.

the onus is on US as consumers to give it due diligence BEFORE entering into a contract, not to CRY after that. I'm not defending Digi , it took me 6 months of testing and comparison of prices before signing a 24 months contrast with them. i checked the coverage at my work place and home and testing the speed. I also researched on the forum to see customers experience and complaints on all the telco.

hmm although I do have theory why you signed up the plan without much research. lol

Again, I'm not talking about comparing prices or dissatisfy that other Telco having better plans than them. I'm fucking pissed on how my plan is getting ripped off by the plan THEY THEMSELVE offer.

I can let go with the coverage but what pisses me off is that just because I signed up earlier a few weeks... I am paying DOUBLE for the same benefit.

I'm not even pissed about comparing with their promotional plan ... Im fucking pissed about my STANDARD plan had to pay DOUBLE for the same STANDARD plan they revised a few weeks later...


You should try paying double for something similar.... unlike physical goods... They CAN choose to revise my quota and benefits easily ... but they choose not to... so what can I say?

Customers come first?? NOPE.... screw them for signing up earlier...

A contract is a contract - get this fact right , and you will find all your arguments are self defeating.

changing package , upgrade plan etc - is not part of the contract, so whatever your sentiments are - they are irrelevant, just saying bro.

I agree to that to certain extent. A contract is a contract and its contents are binding. But how about customer relationship? Ie keeping the customer happy. How about customer retention? If you are in the service line, you would understand that keeping your customer happy is very important.
Nevertheless, thanks to (whatever my sentinments were), we are porting out all our company lines to another Telco which doesn't require us to sign any contracts.

You "Signed" a contract to get a phone at a lower cost. Thats how you are bond to "x" years. No issues with fraud, ethics or what so ever here as business is business.
And you said Maxis worked like a charm, by all means pay more then. I myself used all 4 telco and know Maxis service is great, just a steep price to pay.

Damn.. I am tired of repeating myself..


Like I said.. I am not comparing my plan with another non device plan...I am comparing APPLE TO APPLE..


My RM108 postpaid is a device plan... the same as RM68 device plan currently offered with 6GB while mine is 5GB...



I signed the contract... I did not say they are in breach of contract... but their business ethics is SHIT.. it's a fact when a customer signed with you earlier but you decided to screw him and not giving him what he actually deserve..

Im a graduate in business studies and marketing is one of my core study. If you look at my signature, you will know Im in a customer orientated type of business and I like to keep my customers happy. Its pretty straightforward, when your customers are not happy, they will just bring their business elsewhere.

There is basically no need to argue anymore on this. Its very clear that Digi wont ever accomodate your request no matter what your excuse are. Next time, be a smart consumer and try to look for a Telco which doesn't require you to sign a contract OR which are more willing to accomodate their customers' requests.

I don't think they have any intention to cheat you at that point of time.

since then so many things have changed, other telco started throwing prices and Digi faced intense competition , so they had to follow suit by lowering their prices. nobody expected this you know.

have you written to Digi to ask them to give you more data? here is the problem , if they do that , it will get viral here lol and they have to deal with the social media PR which affected maxis a while ago.

I am sure if they want to give you more data, they must be prepared to give ALL the same.

not easy you know lol.

The value of "x" product is RM108 at February. True
However, the value of RM108 is not the same in July.
Digi made a sale in Feb based on certain figures which amounts to that profit/lost margin.
Later in the year, those figures could have changed due to external factors and what not, which affects the price point.

The biggest issue for you is, you gotten a product at a "x" discount price which was factored in. Is not just as simple as a "Service" sold.

Correct me if I'm wrong, investment plans and medical insurance also would not do scale you up or down if you bought a plan early of the year and they decide to revise it later on.

And lets make a "IF" statement. IF the new price is RM108 for 2gb only and Digi decides to scale you down, will you be happy eventhou you signed a 2 year contract for 5GB ?

Contracts also do exist to protect a buyer incase such case happens you know...

Btw Im not Digi fan boy, as I said, I use all 4 telco.

Basically it isn't DiGi's fault that you signed a contract and took a discount over the phone. I paid RM250 to get out of my DiGi iPhone contract, so that I can have unlimited calls smile.gif

Your contract says u pay this much monthly for this telco service,data plus call,and your phone. Phone sudak dapat. 2 months later realise ur package not competitive. Make noise. Then the next time you buy house you better tell bank their offer is not competitive after you sign the offer letter. You will still want to remain with the bank,but you want them to revise their package. Same bank they hv the obligation to revise for u right? Tapi lock out period is 5 years like what you have signed in contract. You go complain? Make noise?

Digi treat their customers on contract like crap. When you sign the contract, you are selling your soul to them. To change your package, you would need to terminate your contract which means paying a penalty for it. If not, you can dream on for them to upgrade your current package.

I have some updates for you. Seems like Digi has revised their policies. You can get in touch with Digi Cs and request for change of plans but the montly subscription of the plan must be equal or higher than your current plan even though you are still in contract.

that seems fair. they don't have to do it but they do it anyway as courtesy to their customers. that's why I ask the TS to write Digi to negotiate a win-win situation. no harm trying.

Our company managed to negotiate to a "No contract commitment" for our company lines with their higher ranking officials. They even accomodated on changing the plans. So I think TS could try talking to their CS and see if they can accomodate as well.

From a customer perspective... I am extremely EXTREMELY unsatisfied with Digi right now.. not just because of the plan but also because the coverage and signal suck so much balls.... in restaurants or often in buildings got 0 line.... on the street sometime putus (rarely) but if such thing can remotely happen also consider VERY VERY bad to me liao..
So far my dad's Maxis line worked like a charm.... my friend U-mobile also worked like a charm...
If Digi coverage can shittier than U-Mobile... my blood boiling like mad liao.... ppl pay RM70 for 15GB .... I pay RM108 for 5GB ... kanasai to the max .. walao think about it also du gao lan leh ...  bangwall.gif  bangwall.gif

they did not cheat or coerce you when you signed up for their plan few months ago. it was based on willing buyer willing seller basis.

circumstance has changed since then with other telco throwing prices , Digi has to respond accordingly.

I don't see any fraud or malpractice , it's dynamic business environment.

it is not limited to telco. even supermarket gives fantastic offers from time to time. can we cry foul at that scenario too?

there are remedies
1. terminate the current contract and pay a penalty fee
2. write in to Digi to ask them to upgrade your line as a courtesy to you, not an obligation.
3. remains in prepaid line forever in future / or direct purchase your phones with cash instead of some easy payment or telco subsidies.

welcome to the real world where contracts have to be honored
