QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 10:37 AM) Yea, but still there is some rules issued by telcos itself. Just like Celcom will retain you for 1 month. For example if you ported in to Celcom, you have to wait for 1 month only you can switch to other Telco. Digi does not retain us for 1 month though. As I purchase a Digi number, and 1 week later i did port out to Celcom. Then waited for 1 month and again to Maxis to get my iPhone 8 Plus with plan. well it make sense though, and not much of an issue... why would someone port into a Telco and then exit within a month? I mean yes there are people who does that but what are the odds?

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 10:51 AM) For my case, Bought a nice number with Digi. Ported out to Celcom, as I am tempted for EasyPhone plan, but Rm50 protection plan per month is mandatory(should have found out this earlier, but omitted by the time when i converted to Celcom), regretted and ported out to Maxis again. wah so u sapu most telcos already... at least the blue green yellow

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 11:17 AM) Yes, and the red too. After red(Hotlink - prepaid) then Green (postpaid). Maxis got the best internet speed from my housing already. Digi second and then Celcom is the worst. It's not apply the same to everyone though, only for my housing area. my main is on maxis for many years..... and my spare phone is on celcom for 10 years using corporate business line.... unlimited calls/data... but I never use it at all.... if u ever wonder why... when I put both phones side by side.... celcom bar is always low... while maxis at highest.... even when stream/browsing/videos/social media.... its a world of difference... so that spare phone is only for calls..

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 02:02 PM) Yea. Not all housing area has the same coverage from diff telcos. Hence by choosing a telco for your main line, it is important. Otherwise, you will be bind into contract for 2 years and regret throughout the 2 years. I was on maxis one for 2 years without any contract  and since they subsidize a lot for the x this time, i went with the 24 months... otherwise i wont bother binding into contract, obviously i don't need 40gb data...and i have unlimited calls on my 2nd phone celcom... perhaps i should went with 78 digi... but oh well

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 02:12 PM) Yea, Digi seems to out of stock still at this moment. I did leave my number for both iPhone X and 8 64gb, never received any calls yet. Which I assume, the stocks are limit. Anyway, at least Maxis does subsidies alot, still worth it  oooo i thought u bought your 8+? still looking for another?

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 02:18 PM) Nope, I actually leave my number in Digi first, then Maxis. But Maxis calls me first, so I go with Maxis. No regret though, my housing coverage is super B, which I can get more than 40mbps for my internet download speed. Digi only less than 10mbps. so u mean if digi call you first then u would have went with the X?

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 02:26 PM) Nope, if Digi call me first, I will still got with 8 Plus, but 78 plan  Cheaper monthly commitment, but higher device price. As I cannot barely finish the 40gb internet too. ohh haha....got it..now that we mention about 8plus....i still miss a few things on the plus models.... of course the screen size... and the battery percentage display on main screen and the killing off apps is really annoying on the x....

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 21 2017, 02:35 PM) Yea agreed with your points above. But that's X is 8 plus's future. One day X will get a better killing off apps function too. Of course X plus might have better battery life and screen size in the future. We will wait and see.  patiently waiting for x plus or whatever they call it.... counting down days to months lol... definitely getting it..

QUOTE(ftan @ Dec 21 2017, 07:49 PM) Hehe. Have you bought your X? Tell me about it. I change every year too. The “old” phones just pass on to my family. Haha yea badddd hobby..  but happy family..lol but my wife wants latest one yearly too  can't tell her no or else.......... QUOTE(dinozilla @ Dec 21 2017, 08:42 PM) probably because Apple now catch up in pace of the demand...and the telco finally able to get sufficient stockpile...thought maybe not all branches... just avoid attempting at peak timing and hot spots should help... Yea so far the few branches I walk in to check and they have all variant ready stock... This post has been edited by dikae: Dec 21 2017, 09:33 PM

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 23 2017, 07:32 AM) U mobile plan quite good i guess. Try to get a prepaid number of U mobile and try out at your housing area, if it is go then go for it. Their CS is one of the worst ever tho...

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 23 2017, 09:53 PM) With the current minimum MOP 128 to eligible for an iPhone. What you guys use for the 40gb? Basically I am just tethering to my pc. And do some Youtube, 7 days left, and 15gb left. Any idea? I normally just forfeit the balance...wouldn't push up something last min just to finish them all...too lazy for that
