Celcom announced new video-centric additions to their FIRST postpaid plans with their FIRST Gold Supreme and FIRST Platinum Plus postpaid plans. In addition, the current FIRST Platinum, FIRST Gold and FIRST Gold Plus postpaid plans have been revised while all FIRST plans get unlimited calls, WhatsApp, WeChat and music streaming via Yonder Music. Celcom have also included Merdeka promotions and Celcom EasyPhone to make it easier for users to own their own smartpone.

Today, Celcom Axiata Berhad is excited to introduce a new product feature called GBShare. As the name suggest, GBShare allows users to easily share their FIRST Gold Plus and FIRST Platinum plans with friends and family via MYCELCOM Postpaid app on their mobile devices.

Hey Celcom users, did you know that not only you can get both the Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus from Celcom, but the iPhone SE as well? Already starting from 28 October 2016 last month and ending on 31 January 2017 next year, all existing and new customers are welcome to join Celcom's iPhone SE Super Sales from as low as RM288! 

Today Celcom Axiata Berhad announced the availability of the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus for their phone plans and as promised earlier, they even had the iPhone 7 for as low as RM7 for the first lucky seven customers in line at their Blue Cube Sunway Pyramid launch at 7am. Reportedly, they'd stayed in line for 2 days straight. Another lucky 3 first pre-order and walk-in buyers got the RM7 chance as well.

Celcom Axiata Berhad have announced the first lucky winner of their "Keep calm and Win a Perodua Axia" campaign which started on 15 April 2016. The winner, Jafri Omar subscribed to one of Celcom's FIRST plans and will soon bring home his brand new Perodua Axia. Another 5 Perodua Axia are left to be won for lucky new customers who sign up for Celcom's FIRST Gold or FIRST Platinum plans at the nearest Blue Cube or participating dealers until 15 July 2016.

Just in case you missed it, Celcom announced their latest roaming plan called the WONDEROAM last week and while the benefits and fare seem attractive, you might have wondered which Telco offers the best roaming deal. In this comparison article, we will be taking a look at Malaysia's four Telco's roaming plans and see which one is the best. So who came up on top? Read below to find out.

This week, the much teased HTC 10 was officially launched and while there is still no Malaysian release date or pricing details, the value-beating ViVo V3Max made its Malaysian debut with 4GB of RAM, a fingerprint reader and more for just RM1399. Other notable Malaysia releases include the Canon EOS 1D X Mark II and a new line-up of Sony BRAVIA 4K HDR TVs. Not released for Malaysia but still officially announced was the Meizu Pro 6.

On the Telco Front, quite a few big names started up new battles like Celcom's new 18GB of Internet FIRST Platinum postpaid plan, Digi's RM80 for 10GB Internet update and U Mobile's roaming backpack. Celcom also announced their new Wonderoam roaming plan along with an extension of their FIRST Gold plan. Maxis also stayed true to their word with an update for their SurfMore 50 customers while overhyped WeBe just turned out to be a rebrand of P1, minus any concrete details or plans.

As we reported earlier, Celcom have officially taken the wraps off of their FIRST Platinum by Celcom postpaid plan featuring 18GB of Internet (9GB Monthly + 9GB Weekend) with unlimited calls and SMS to all networks for RM150 a month. Premium privileges include a Personalized Customer Service, Secured Zipit Chat and unlimited access to iFlix for 12 months. Check out all the benefits and privileges listed in this article.
