Bravo celcom. Earliest among all.

2 years from celcom and force to take extra 2gb data. Aiks

Celcom plan quite good. Subsidize 1.4k on plus 128

basically need to add RM18 for my current first gold. Since I only change phone every 2 years, I guess Im gonna go with the plan.

Please be careful that the price of iphone for celcom is before or after gst...
from the previous experience from the S7 edge,all the price is before gst...

Please dont add on monthly commitment fee into your total cost of ownership.Either way, u still need a data plan even if u purchase it outright.

However if u wish to include all, this is the way to calculate:

Without plan:
Normal plan rm80 (10gb internet) * 24 = rm1920 + outright purchase = RM4299.
Total cost of ownership is RM6219.

With celcom first gold plan:
Package plan rm98 (12gb internet) * 24 = RM2352 + phone price (after gst ?)= RM2978
Total cost of ownership is RM5330.

But im not sure the rm2978 is inclusive of gst or not. if before gst, total ownership will become rm5508.68..

Just a questions guys...The pre-order is for self pickup one or delivery? Wanting to get it at launch place instead of waiting for delivery to come...

For maxis, self pickup is available on the 14th.. but most probably only at klcc outlet.

Alright thanks bro

Nice explanation. if u are not first gold subscriber or pay the monthly bill less than 50 ringgit sure the plan is not suitable.

Ya especially if u r on celcom first 38 and are comfortable with it..

My celcom plan is the lowest RM38+ per month and the most I can used only up to RM45, so I top up plan also can't used that much

Yeah...currently also rocking first basic 38...the rate for calling after the free one used up is actually quite cheap...the highest i hit also around RM42

Then see you next week at Apple Store queue up to buy plan-less unit

Want to ask.. if the say upfront payment RM 1,000 and device Rm 2,000, that mean when we collect the phone we have to pay RM 3,000 right?

Yes, paid 3k but the upfront 1k will rebate back monthly

However, if you are not heavy usage, then this plan is not suitable for you, imagine your monthly commitment is only RM50, you just need 3GB data, so no point to pay extra for the subsidies phone.

RM98 - RM 50 = RM48 and multiple 24 months its RM1152 different.
But bear in mind, one is 3GB data and another one is 10GB data.

So at the end of the day, it will be worth if you find a right plan for you.

If you guys do not understand then I change another scenario, you went a restaurant, 250g wagyu beef costs RM250, but 500g costs RM330. However, if you can only consume maximum of 250g why pay more to waste the food? hahaha

Yup, thats y i mention cost a bomb coz celcom dont cater for moderate to low data usage customers..sometimes not all people use those xtra GBs.. eg. like myself i'm on first 38(40.30x12mths =RM483.60)with gst.. & preordered from G5 iP7+ 128GB for RM4056.. total cost of ownership for me would be just RM4539.60

Cannot live without a telco plan as my work needs me to call for referral. Before using first gold, my bill would go up to 200.
