He say now they had change. Soon there will be no Primary Pack anymore.That's bulls**t. Typical tactic by marketing people to create urgency with the goal of earning your commision and reaching their KPI.
I'm pretty sure even those decades old
Family pack (RM39.99) customers still exists today, hence what that agent told you that "Primary Pack will soon be no more" is simply fake news.
Astro no longer offers Primary Pack for new takeups (you could say it's discontinued). Astro introduced 3 new packs under the
Astro One packs on Dec 2024:
- Astro One: Entertainment Pack (RM49.99)
- Astro One: Sports Pack (RM99.99)
- Astro One: Epic Pack (RM199.99)
I told him I want to maintain my current package and he say this no longer exist.
Despite with the new Astro One packs, existing customers will continue to enjoy their existing pack as-is, unless they manually switch to the new Astro One packs in the future.
Seems to me that Astro assumes that typical customers won't go and do research on today's Astro pack offerings from time to time (which in reality, quite true), hence they can use this leverage to
trick convince unknowing customers.
Now he want to give me to some package which suppose is RM79++ something and now offer me RM72++ (include tax).The agent's goal is to upsell you. Put aside those "rebates" and whatnot, they just want your total Astro subscription to be higher than what you're paying today.
But just curious, what did the agent offer to you till it reaches "RM79++"?
Anyone know what different between Primary Pack and this astro one entertainment package?In terms of what are the channels you can watch, the answer is
no difference at all. Both packs is pretty much same thing.
Astro package got contract how many year? 2 years? Correct. The moment you subscribe to Astro One: Entertainment Pack, you will get a new 24 months contract.
If you're still using older Astro box models like HD or PVR Box, you'll be entitled to swap to the Ulti Box as well.
To give some context why Astro has been desperate:
Astro’s 2Q net profit falls 70% amid decline in subscription, advertising revenue https://www.facebook.com/theedgemalaysia/po...js3cg2Tha3hFvml That RM79++ I think is the entertainment pack plus some other thing (maybe hotstar or other...)not very clear in phone talk. I hate to talk in phone because most of the time it is not very clear. So normally when dealing thing, I either email, whatsapp or go to office. Phone voice very hard for me.
Thanks.
