DiGi and Maxis iPhone Plans Comparison

Alright, the wait is over, DiGi iPhone plans have been revealed though technically it was "exposed" by @biznewsMY as reported by LiewCF on his blog. It might just be a marketing gimmick by DiGi but it doesn’t really matter now.  As many have anticipated, there is no change in the price of all iPhone models (besides this is controlled by Apple and not DiGi) but DiGi have come up with a slightly more attractive plans as shown in the comparison chart below. Click the image to enlarge.

As you can see in the chart, DiGi plans are about RM12 lower than Maxis but offer double bundled data, sms and MMS. DiGi also offers All-in-One 0% installment plans for credit card holders of participating banks: Ambank, HSBC, CIMB, Maybank and Citibank. This option is pretty good and I think Maxis would come up with a similar plans soon.

 

UPDATES: DECIDING WHICH PACKAGE IS GOOD FOR YOU

Now, let’s compare the two closest plan packages for both telco.

For Digi Packages
Free calls = 200min (88), 450min (138)
Free sms = 200sms (88), 400sms (138)
Data = Unlimited(local) but speed will be throttled to about 128Kbps.

For Maxis Packages
Free calls = 333min (100), 667min (155)
Free sms = 100sms (100), 200sms (155)
Data = 500MB (100), 1GB (155) , extra charges of 0.5 sen per 1Kb applies after exceeding the quota.

Now, if you’re aiming for longer talk time, then Maxis package has the advantage. If you want to spend more time on data/interent usage and sms, then DiGi is the right choice. On another note, with Wi-Fi widely available now, you probably don’t need to pay more for the data usage.

  • for me, maxis plan is difenitely better than Digi. I am a salesman and need drive often, I don't think i will surf on IP all the time, what I need is the talktime.

    I will go sign up for Maxis plan b4 20 April (as promotion date ended), thnx everyone.

  • WOW maxis pandai plant comments ah, don't think use different IP means we bodo2 think you're different people.

  • besides, DIGI support sucks. I have been facing network problem with no connectivity for tha past 1 week, calling and bugging them for 4 days already...they just keep telling you to wait, close the complaint in between, promised to call back but didn't, and now they need another 7 days to attempt to solve the problem. imagine no connectivity on your phone...for 10 days

  • very eager to own one, planning to go to the MAXIS launch at the Garden but frankly, can some expert out there really compare DIGI & MAXIS package seriously?
