Malaysia is known for many things in the IT world. We are ranked number 5 for taking selfies in the world. We are on Facebook and social media a lot more than most people in other countries within the region. While we have not yet reached the same level as countries like South Korea, our smartphone and mobile telecommunications or telco industry is definitely on the rise. And while many of us won't admit it, a lot of our online actions and reactions rely on how the various Mobile Telcos of Malaysia are moving. So here at Technave.com, we'd like to stop for a minute and see where we are, what packages and plans are available and how we as the common everyday user should react to the wave of new telco plans, packages and deals? Are Malaysia's Mobile Telcos moving in the right direction? What would be the most ideal mobile telco plan in Malaysia? Read our analysis as everyday Malaysian users to the everyday user in Malaysia to find out.

If getting even an entry-level smartphone is difficult, then perhaps you'd be better off going for DiGi's Postpaid Simple plan which now offers the Sony Xperia E for free. The plan requires you to also select the Mobile Internet data plan of your choice as well but in the long run it should be worth it. You also have to sign up for a 24 month contract. The full details of the deal are listed in the table below:

It is amazing how some telcos can complicate their freebies by placing limitations on their various free calls or free SMS. Sometimes you get charged differently for free SMS or calls on the same network or over a different network and sometimes you only get said freebies under other conditions. In a move to keep things simple, DiGi have introduced their DG Postpaid Simple plan where you get RM100 worth of free voice calls and SMS to any network. The plan still works like any other Postpaid plan with a monthly commitment and call or SMS rate but do check out the details in the table below:

Targeting port-in subscribers from other networks or providers, DiGi is now holding a promotion until 30 April 2013 with various rewards. These port-in users who switch to the DG Smart Plan 58, 88 and 148 will get:

• Up to 900 extra Free Voice Call Minutes
• Free 1GB of Internet Quota (with Tablet SuperSIM)
• Free 500 BonusLink Points
• Automatic International Roaming Service

A couple of weeks ago, DiGi introduced their DG Smart Plan 58 and DG Smart Plan 88 for postpaid users looking to get a more affordable data plan. Now, they are expanding this lineup with their premium offer, the DG Smart Plan 148. Going for RM148 per month the plan offers 6GB of data in the form of 3GB Mobile Internet Quota and 3GB worth of Smart Apps Quota (Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp). The plan also includes 600 minutes of free calls and 600 free SMS to all networks. Due to the higher monthly fees, the call charges have been reduced compared to the other two plans.

In line with the rather meteoric rise of tablets in the PC market, DiGi has released a bunch new tablet-only postpaid plans. Initially these tablet-only plans started from RM15 a month for 500MB of data up to 2GB. However, now DiGi is offering plans up to 6GB a month from RM89 a month. They have even tossed in an extra incentive by offering 3 months worth of Evernote Premium access for free.
