Digi and Maxis iPhone 4 Comparison Chart

Posted by IcedNyior on September 27, 2010  |  5 Comments

Im using both a Digi and Maxis number. So I guess you could say I’ve got my foot planted firmly on both camps :P

Am interested to see whose plans is better so I decided to make a comparison. Unfortunately, some things were in the way

• Digi does NOT have a 12 month contract plan
• Maxis has plans with 1GB, 2GB and 3GB while Digi has plans with 1GB, 3GB and 5GB

So i present the following table:

Digi and Maxis iPhone 4 Comparison Chart for 1GB and 3GB plans with 24 month contract

Interesting things to note to influence ur decision:

• Warranty : Digi offers only 1 yr warranty, while Maxis offers 2 years warranty
• Free SMS/MMS : Maxis free SMS/MMS is to Maxis-Maxis numbers, Digi is for all telcos
• Contract Period : Maxis offers 12 month contract for the iPhone 4, Digi does not.
• Coverage : Maxis has undoubtedly better coverage than Digi, especially outstation
• Exceeding Data : Maxis will charge RM0.05/10KB (to a max of RM250) while Digi does not charge anything extra but might throttle your speed (need to double check on that)

So, hope that helps you make a decision. iDigi or iValue in Malaysia? Or perhaps get a set from Singapore?

Malaysia News : Digi iPhone 4 Rate Plans (& Maxis too!)

Edit 2 : Rates are correct. Click on Link below to see proper link. If you’re interested, I have made a comparison chart – Digi and Maxis iPhone 4 Comparison Chart.

Edit : That was fast! Digi pulled down the link. It now redirects to their main site. Lucky took screenshot

Found this link on Twitter to the Digi iPhone 4 plans and it shows the new plans that are valid from 24th Sept. Below is a screenshot in case they pull it down

As usual, the table is damn confusing. Was it for 24 mths or 12 mths? I bet most of you have seen the plans from Maxis right?

What? You haven’t? Here it is below courtesy of MalaysianWireless.

So which plan is better? And more importantly, which will you choose?

Edit: Come on guys, do I really need to make this disclaimer? Though it was pretty obvious already.

Disclaimer:  Rates above are NOT official as the official media briefing for Digi iPhone 4 plans will be at 6pm Malaysian time today. Screenshot above is what i got frm the link earlier.

Paypal Blogger Dinner & South East Asia based site – Paypal Unbound

Well I couldn’t make it to the Paypal PowerUp event on Saturday (not that there was any space anyway, read the whole fiasco/drama here), so the guys over at Text100 invited me to a Paypal Blogger’s dinner on the 10th of December at Dubrovnik Restaurant, Solaris. It was a small affair – dinner with the bloggers and people from Paypal to discussion features and other issues.

I was a tad late because I had to rush from work and Fridays are quite difficult for me to escape early. Manage to find the place thanks to Nahri frm Text100’s directions. But I came just in time before anything started. Was introduced to Mr Mario Shiliashki, the GM of Paypal SEA, Geert Desager, Senior Marketing Manager and Amy, Head of Cross Border Asia.
