News & Reviews:   Celcom Malaysia

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.

Leaked images of Celcom's upcoming roaming plan details have revealed that we may not only get a roaming plan called Wonderoam with 1 weeks worth of roaming for RM138 but also that Celcom may be coming out with an upgrade to their current FiRST Gold postpaid plan, the Celcom FiRST Platinum plan. The leaked image does not reveal too many details about the Wonderoam roaming plan, but RM138 for a weeks worth of high speed mobile Internet overseas sounds like a very high value proposition.

If you are thinking about jumping ship to XPAX Magic Sim by Celcom, right now is probably the best time. If you buy the SIM from 11street.my, an online shopping platform based in Malaysia, you can enjoy 10% reload discount on any reload values. This benefit will only apply to XPAX Magic Sim new subscribers, and you can get the Magic Sim from as low as RM5 with just an initial RM3 credits and 200MB free high-speed data.

Celcom has opened up a registration of interest page where you can sign up to get the latest news about their upcoming Apple iPhone SE offerings. This sign-up page is not for pre-booking purposes, but by subscribing to their mailing list, you can receive exclusive updates and be one of the earliest to know what plan they have in store for the phone. Apple iPhone SE was made available in the US on 31 March 2016. Therefore, the phone might be available in Malaysia around the end of May 2016.

It seems that the signed agreements between Celcom, P1 and TM back in January are showing results. This collaboration may probably end up turning WeBe into a new mobile operator. Originally WeBe was just a community site for anyone to post a project that they want to have happened, then with enough WeBe community to back it, to then start receiving funds for their project.

From the leaked photos surfacing from popular local blogs and websites, it seems that WeBe will be offering 20GB of data, 1000 talk time minutes, and 1000 SMS for RM8/month. Best of all their unlimited plan will only cost RM80/month for unlimited 4g internet, unlimited SMS and unlimited phone calls.
