With competition heating up in the postpaid scene, Digi has revamped its postpaid offering with its first “unlimited” weekend data offering. Could this be Digi’s answer to webe‘s unlimited proposition?

On the surface, Digi Postpaid 110 gives you 25GB of weekday data, unlimited 4G weekend data and unlimited calls for RM110/month. Previously, the same plan offered 20GB of weekday + 20GB of 4G weekend data along with unlimited calls. In addition, you can also carry forward up to 3GB of unused data to the following month and it also comes bundled with 1,000 SMS.

Is the weekend 4G data truly unlimited? Well, Digi’s definition of “unlimited” is rather different. Their previous “unlimited” off-peak prepaid data was capped at 15GB while its new “non-stop” free video streaming is limited at 10GB/month. When we called up the Digi hotline, we are told that the Unlimited 4G weekend data on Digi Postpaid 110 has a Fair Usage Policy of 100GB/month. It’s still massive with a total of 125GB/month (less than RM1/GB) but it definitely isn’t unlimited as advertised. Take note that the weekend data is only applicable on 4G and it will utilise your weekday data if you’re connected to 3G and below.

Border Roaming now in 5 countries

For seamless roaming, Digi has also expanded its Border Roaming to 5 countries. Apart from Singapore (StarHub), it now includes Brunei (DST), Indonesia (Indosat), Myanmar (Telenor) and Thailand (DTAC/DTN). Digi’s Border Roaming costs RM30/month and it includes a monthly 5GB of data quota and 60 minutes of calls. If you’re a Digi Postpaid 110 subscriber, it is free of charge and it will cost you RM5/month if you’re on Digi Postpaid 80.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get the iPhone 7 on the postpaid plan that puts you first.

This post is brought to you by Celcom FIRST.

The iPhone SE is probably the best compact smartphone you can buy. It gets a top end processor and a 4K-capable 12MP camera in a smaller package. Just because it is smaller in size, doesn’t mean you have to skimp on data.

Now is probably the best time to get an iPhone SE as Celcom is offering it from as low as RM288 with the biggest postpaid plans in town.

From now until 31 January 2017, you can get the iPhone SE at 80% off when you sign up on FIRST Platinum postpaid plan. This is applicable to existing and new customers on Celcom. The FIRST Platinum plan gives the ultimate experience for your iPhone SE.

At RM150/month, the plan gives you a whopping 60GB of data. That’s more than enough for all your web surfing, social and streaming needs. On Celcom, you can enjoy faster and consistent data speeds with its Ultrafast 4G Territory. With its ongoing network modernisation exercise, you can expect stronger connections, less buffering and seamless 4G signal from outside to inside buildings.

Need to talk with your loved ones? Not to worry as the plan gives you unlimited calls and SMS to any mobile and fixed line numbers in Malaysia without worrying about bill shocks. On top of that, you’ll also enjoy unlimited instant messaging on WhatsApp and WeChat.

For non-stop entertainment, Celcom is also offering unlimited music streaming through Yonder Music. Also included is 1 year unlimited access to TV Shows and movies on iflix.

Do note that the monthly data is split between 30GB weekday and 30GB weekend. If you must have it all, you can always add-on AnydayGB at RM10/month to combine both weekday and weekend data.

The iPhone SE can be yours at RM288 for the 16GB model and RM488 for the larger 64GB capacity version on FIRST Platinum postpaid plan. During sign up, there’s a required upfront payment of RM1,400 which will be rebated fully to your bill on the first month. That should cover your monthly subscription fee for the next 8-9 months if there are no extra charges.

For more info, head over to Celcom’s iPhone SE page.

Webe’s RM79/month promotion for its unlimited everything postpaid plan has been extended. Originally priced at RM199/month, webe is continuing to give RM120/month off to everyone as part of its Chinese New Year promotion.

Previously webe’s postpaid plan was offered at RM199/month and subscribers are eligible to get RM60 off if they are an existing TM customer plus another RM60 off for using a “certified” device. To drive mass adoption, they had removed such restrictions by offering one fixed price to everyone regardless of what device they are using.

The original promo was supposed to end on 31st December 2016 but they have extended it until 11 February 2017. The plan gives you unlimited voice calls, SMS and data on your mobile. Tethering is available but webe is charging RM6 for 2 hours of usage.

To entice more subscriptions, they are also offering more discounts if you sign up more friends and family under your account. A second line costs RM69/month and it gets cheaper down to RM49/month for your 4th line onwards.

If you just need a data-only SIM that allows internet sharing, webe had recently introduced its home broadband offering which comes with 10GB of data for RM59/month. It lets you tether up to 10 devices for free and as an early bird promo, they are giving 20GB of extra quota for a limited time.

For more info, head over to webe’s mobile page.

Not wanting to be left out, redONE has introduced its new Amazing plans that come with more data than before. The MVNO known for its barebones offering is now providing up to 20GB of data with free calls for under RM50/month.

However, if you take a closer look, the data offering might not be as amazing as you think.

Similar to its previous postpaid offering, the Amazing Plans start from just RM8/month and it comes bundled with 1GB data and free calls (limited to 100 hours) to all redONE users. If you want more, the Amazing 28 postpaid option gives you 10GB of data while Amazing 48 doubles that with 20GB of data.

On the surface, it looks a lot but redONE is splitting its Amazing 28/48 quota with high-speed and basic internet (throttled) allocation. The Amazing 28 gives you 4GB of high-speed 4G data and 6GB of basic internet. Meanwhile, the Amazing 48 plan comes with 8GB of high-speed 4G data and 12GB of basic internet.

Both plans also get free calls to redONE users. On top of that, Amazing 48 gets additional 200 minutes of talk time to all networks (mobile and fixed line) within Malaysia. For excess usage, it would cost RM0.15/minute for calls to other networks, while SMS would cost 5 sen to redONE users and 10 sen for other numbers.

Despite the having bulk of the quota for basic internet, the new plans generally have more high-speed data than before. If you’re looking for the most generous high-speed postpaid offering, Digi could be the better choice with 5GB of high-speed all-day data and 5GB of 4G weekend data at RM50/month.

Take note there’s a 6 months contract period on redONE and could be as long as 24 months if you pick a premium number. For those who are on the redONE Data8 plan, you’re able to upgrade to the Amazing 8 plan. Need more info? Head over to redONE’s Amazing Plans page.

The latest Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 for 2017 are officially launched in Malaysia. If you’re thinking of getting one with a contract, Digi has started accepting pre-orders for the new premium mid-range smartphones.

The Galaxy A5 and A7 are tied with their previous Digi Postpaid 98 and Postpaid 148 device postpaid plans. To recap, Postpaid 98 plan(RM98/month) gives you 7GB of data, unlimited calls and the ability to rollover 2GB of unused data to the following month. Meanwhile, the higher Postpaid 148 option (RM148/month) comes with 10GB of data, unlimited calls and you can roll over 3GB of data each month.

Obviously these plans are not as generous with data as their latest Postpaid offering. As an added bonus, Digi is offering free additional 5GB data each month for customers that pre-order from them.

The Samsung Galaxy A (2017) series on Digi are priced as follows on a 24 month contract:

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)
Digi Postpaid 98 – RM399 (Advance payment: RM970)
Digi Postpaid 148 – RM0 (Advance payment: RM1,369)

Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017)
Digi Postpaid 98 – RM499 (Advance payment: RM1,030)
Digi Postpaid 148 – RM99 (Advance payment: RM1,430)

Take note that during registration, you’ll need to pay an advance payment plus one month’s subscription fee. RM0 upfront payment and 0% interest installment plans are also available. In Malaysia, the Galaxy A5 is priced at RM1,699 while the bigger Galaxy A7 is priced at RM1,899. The pre-order is available from now until 15th January 2017. Digi says that the deliveries will start from 25 January onwards.

For more info, head over to Digi’s Samsung Galaxy A (2017) pre-order page.

If you’ve missed webe’s “limited-time” RM79/month offer, don’t panic. The discounted subscription offer has been extended again until further notice.

To recap, the webe postpaid plan was originally priced at RM199/month but they are giving RM120 off each month regardless of what phone you’re using. Initially, the RM79/month subscription price was only applicable if you’re an existing TM customer and if you own a “webe-certified” phone that can support 850MHz on LTE.

The webe postpaid plan gives you unlimited voice calls, SMS and mobile data. Unlike other telcos, webe charges for tethering at RM6 for 2 hours. If you don’t use your phone as a hotspot, your data usage is unlimited without data caps. Just take note that peer to peer traffic will be throttled to 64kbps and video streaming speeds will be managed at 480p. For those that travel, webe is also offering unlimited daily roaming from RM39/day at selected countries.

With Valentine’s day happening tomorrow, webe wants you to video call your loved ones on their postpaid plan. If you plan to do so, just remember to use your instant messaging apps such as whatsapp, skype, line or wechat as native video calling isn’t supported.

Webe hasn’t mentioned any end date for this extended promo and they probably should make this RM79/month offer permanent. For more information about webe, head over to the webe postpaid page.

UPDATE: Check out our U Mobile UNLIMITED Power Prepaid vs Power Prepaid plan comparison.

U Mobile has always been shaking things up in the telco industry with its generous data offering. First, they had introduced Video-Onz which gave unlimited free video streaming and this was followed by Music-Onz which does the same thing for music. Then, they had Game-Onz data add-ons designed for unlimited gaming through WiFi tethering.

Now they are introducing App Onz which offers unlimited free data for social. This lets you enjoy Facebook (including Messenger), Twitter and Instagram without utilising your normal data quota.

U Mobile App Onz is rolled out with its new UNLIMITED POWER Prepaid plan. It’s the first prepaid in Malaysia to provide unlimited data for all your social needs and it comes with 300 minutes of free calls each month within the U Mobile network. A starter pack costs RM8.50 and it comes bundled with RM5 of credit and 200MB of high-speed data that’s valid for 10 days.

Compared to the current POWER Prepaid plan, the call rates for the new prepaid are slightly higher at 12 sen/30 secs instead of 7 sen/30 secs while SMS costs 12 sen each. According to U Mobile, the new UNLIMITED Power Prepaid still comes with free 1GB of high-speed data each month with a minimum top up of RM10. You’ll lose the free 1GB high-speed internet each month but you get free 1GB of basic (throttled) data instead of 2GB basic data.

For existing U Mobile prepaid customers, you can enjoy App Onz by migrating to the new UNLIMITED POWER Prepaid by dialling *118*6*2*3# beginning 17 February 2017 which costs RM3 to make the switch. For postpaid customers, App Onz will be activated automatically between 17 to 25 February 2017. App Onz has no time, weekend or quota restrictions, so you can use it anytime and anywhere.

U Mobile also has plans to add more apps into App Onz sometime in the future. In case you missed it, data usage of Waze is free if you’re on U Mobile’s postpaid and prepaid UMI plan.

Since U Mobile is now offering free usage for video, music and now social, it is probably harder for most Hero P98 postpaid subscribers to finish their quota. The new UNLIMITED Power Prepaid starter pack will go on sale starting tomorrow, 17 February 2017.

If you’re planning to switch to Digi, they are now throwing extra deals if you sign up with them online. New Digi Postpaid 80 subscribers will get more data while Postpaid 110 will get extra rebates of RM120.

For Digi’s Postpaid 80 plan that comes with unlimited calls and 10GB (Weekday) + 10GB (Weekend) data, Digi is offering additional 2GB weekday data for 24 months. This gives you a total of 12GB data for weekdays and 10GB for the weekends for RM80/month.

Meanwhile, Digi Postpaid 110 subscribers will get RM10/month rebate for 12 months. That’s RM100/month for the first year to enjoy unlimited calls, unlimited weekend 4G data and 25GB for weekday use. For Digi Postpaid 110, you also get additional 5GB data + 60 minutes of calls each month for roaming in Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Myanmar, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. Digi Postpaid 80 customers can enjoy the same benefit as well but it will cost you RM10/month extra.

Take note that the offer is only available on Digi’s online store and it’s contract free. For more info, head on over to Digi’s postpaid page.

Maxis now has its own smartphone and it’s simply called the NeXT by Maxis. For RM78/month, the NeXT is an all-in-one bundle that gives you a 4G phone, bundled data and calls plus an extended warranty for a worry-free experience.

The smartphone itself is called the NeXT M1 and it gets a 5.5″ HD display, an Octa-Core processor and a 13MP camera. Maxis hasn’t revealed its full specs but it looks like an entry-level device.

UPDATE: Maxis has updated the page with the device’s spec sheet. The NeXT M1 has a 5.5″ Full HD display and it runs on a Helio P10 (MediaTek MT6755) processor mated to 2GB RAM with 16GB storage (expandable via MicroSD). For camera, it gets a 13MP main unit while the front has a 5MP shooter with LED flash. The battery is a non-removable 2,960mAh capacity unit which charges via microUSB.

The NeXT package is tied with a 24-month contract and you’ll get 4GB of data and 50 minutes of calls included each month. If you need more data, you can top up 500MB/day at RM5, 1GB/day at RM8 or 3GB/3days at RM12.

According to the site, the NeXT M1 is offered with RM0 upfront but strangely the FAQ has a section on device advance payment. Interestingly, there’s also mention of 4G weekend data in the FAQ as well.

UPDATE: The NeXT’s 4GB data is split between 2GB all day and 2GB 4G weekend data.

The biggest differentiator would be its Ultimate Care as the device comes with a 24-month warranty against defects and 12 months coverage for its bundled accessories (e.g. cable, charger). For greater piece of mind, there’s also a 6-months screen protection and Maxis is also offering a one-time 1 to 1 replacement if you damage your phone within the 24-month device warranty.

For the price, you probably can get a better device and more data for your money each month. However, the extended warranty and one-to-one swap coverage could be the deal breaker in the entry-level segment.

The NeXT M1 device will be available starting 3rd March, which is tomorrow. For more info, visit the Maxis NeXT website.

Maxis has expanded its Power of ONE promotion to cover beyond smartphone and broadband devices. For only RM1, you can get a full year of entertainment subscription or a full year of unlimited roaming data, calls and SMS.

If you’re a MaxisONE 158 customer, you can enjoy 1-year premium subscription for iflix, Spotify and viu worth RM420 for only RM1. For MaxisONE 128, you’ll also get the enjoy the same RM1 deal but it only covers iflix and Spotify.

For the frequent traveller, this is probably the best deal of all. Maxis is offering a full year of unlimited roaming for just RM1. This is basically 365 days of MaxisONE World that usually costs RM38/day, so this is potentially a massive RM13,870 in value.

The roaming offer covers unlimited incoming and outgoing calls, SMS and 500MB of high-speed data per day. Once you’ve finished your 500MB quota, you can continue surfing with your domestic data from home.

MaxisONE 188 customers will get to enjoy this offer in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Brunei, Philippines, Cambodia and Laos. However, MaxisONE 158 subscribers who take up this offer are only eligible for Singapore only.

On top of that, Maxis is also offering audio accessories for RM1. This includes the Harman Kardon Onyx Mini Speaker, Monster iSport Victory Earphone and Monster Clarity HD which are tied to its respective postpaid plan.

Activation for the music/video streaming subscription offer ends on 15 June while the accessories and roaming offer is valid for new sign ups until 30 June 2017. Do note that there’s a 12-month contract and you can’t take up this offer if you have another device contract or have taken up another RM1 offer. If you terminate your postpaid subscription within 12 months, there will be a penalty charge of RM300 for the subscription and roaming offer. For the accessories, you’ll need to pay the retail price divided by the number of remaining months of your contract.

If you’re interested in any of these offers, you can subscribe at a Maxis Centre or Maxis Exclusive Partner near you. More info on their Power of ONE page.

First it was the closed beta program for Android, then came the “unreleased” version that was unstable under most circumstances. Now Celcom has finally stepped up their game and officially released their postpaid app that you can download from Google Play Store.

You can now access your profile, track your calls, SMS and Internet usage, get add-ons and more through the app wherever you are.

After downloading the app, you should have instant access to your FIRST plan information and Celcom account profile, be able to track your usage for Internet, calls, roaming and even pay your bills.

If you’re a Celcom postpaid user, this app is going to help you keep track of your account. Just download it from Google Play Store. As for iPhone users, this app is not yet in the App Store, so you will have to wait for now.

In our own experience, not much has changed since beta and the app still doesn’t really work all that well. There are still some bugs in it and doesn’t seem polished for an app that has been officially released. Especially when the release has been delayed numerous times.

Have you downloaded it to your Android device? Tell us your experience.

Webe is now entering the enterprise segment by introducing its business-centric mobile and broadband plans. At first glance, they are quite similar to its consumer offering but you do get a little extra.

webemobile biz

For mobile, the webemobile biz costs RM79/month and it could go as low as RM65/month if you take up at least 3 lines. We can assume that these prices are only valid for existing TM customers as the website mentions that it would cost RM139/month for non-TM broadband or webe customers.

The mobile plan comes with the usual unlimited calls, unlimited SMS and unlimited data but webe is also providing additional 1GB of free tethering. However, if you need more than 1GB per month, you’ll be out of luck as it is stated in their FAQ that you won’t be able to purchase additional data tethering passes. For those who are on the consumer grade postpaid plan at RM79/month, tethering is a chargeable add-on which costs RM6 for 2 hours.

webebroadband biz

For those who are looking for data-only LTE connectivity, webebroadband biz offers 30GB + 20GB of data at RM99/month. The extra 20GB is a limited time promo which they are offering until further notice. As a comparison, the consumer broadband plan costs RM59/month and it comes with 10GB + 20GB of data.

For more information, check out the webemobile biz and webebroadband biz pages.

During sign up, Celcom requires an upfront payment of RM300 for FIRST Gold Plus and RM600 for FIRST Platinum. This amount will be rebated back to your account to offset your future bills. Like other telcos, Celcom is also bundling the Galaxy S8 pre-order freebies that are valued over RM900. This includes a starter kit, a 5,100mAh fast charge power bank and Samsung’s extended warranty and screen protection plan.

For more info, head over to Celcom’s Galaxy S8 Pre-order page. The pre-order is open from today, 11 April until 13 April 2017.

The Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ is also available for pre-order through Digi. Similar to other pre-order promotion, you also get the same amount of freebies that are worth RM916.

The pre-order promo runs from 11th April until 13th April 2017 with stocks expected to be delivered to you beginning 4th May 2017. You get a choice of 3 different postpaid plans with a contract tenure of 24-months across the board.

When you look into their postpaid plans (Postpaid 78, Postpaid 108, Postpaid 138) for device contract, they are not as compelling as their on-going postpaid plans such as Digi Postpaid 80, Postpaid 110 or their latest Postpaid 150 Infinite. This is a similar situation with U Mobile’s Ultimate Device Plan.

The entry-level Postpaid 78 (RM78/month) plan gives you 12GB of data (6GB all-day + 6GB weekend), unlimited calls and 200 SMS while its Postpaid 108 comes with 18GB of data (9GB all-day + 9GB weekend), unlimited calls and 400 SMS. It’s highest Postpaid 138 (RM138/month) option includes 24GB of data (12GB all-day + 12GB weekend) with unlimited calls and SMS.

It interesting to point out that these plans are even more expensive than Maxis which is often regarded as the most expensive in town. As a comparison, MaxisONE 98 (RM98/month) comes with 20GB of data (10GB all-day + 10GB data weekend) while MaxisONE 128 (RM128/month) comes with 30GB of data (15GB all-day + 15GB weekend). Both MaxisONE plans also come with unlimited calls and SMS.
