Some telco offers quite a bargain, e.g. honor x9b for free, subscribe rm88 package for 36 months. Plus company paid for that rm88, totally free walaoooweiiii

Ayam did calculation, if take umobile iphone 16 pro max plan for 24 months is cheaper than buying outright then take regular rm40 data plan over the course of 2 years

But i not sure if warranty is 2 years as well or not

I'm thinking but not sure if contract phones are worth it. Current using Digi RM25 and paying phone bill myself.

Maybe someone can chime in with good postpaid contracts.

Anyway I calculate for a 16PM 256GB RM5999 & one line of Digi Prepaid Kuning RM25, if bought using EPP:

For 24mths EPP: RM249.96/month + RM25.00/month = RM274.96/month (Telco contracts usually 2yrs right?)

Maybe need to add Unifi 1Gbps (STD20+UnifiTV Ultimate) RM159/mth to calculation as some telcos now include fibre.

• of course, prepaid no additional 6%.
• Postpaid usually unlimited data? Mine is only 30GB though currently it's 50GB due to monthly freebies.
• adding supplementary lines may decrease the overall average per line for postpaid.
• prepaid topup free credits will decrease the prepaid cost. So far this year, already have approx RM35 free credit.
• postpaid may have an advantage for roaming. I don't roam much so not sure.
• Prepaid data may be speed capped though currently there's no cap for Digi Kuning.

Company sign contract with Telco, and pay for the line. Staff get the benefit with cheaper priced phone as long as they stay with the company for the contract duration.
