News & Reviews:   Digi plan

With the recent HTC One (M8) officially launched in Malaysia, DiGi is coming out with postpaid bundles for the smartphone starting from RM1299, which is pretty good considering the retail price of RM2399. To qualify, you will have to subscribe for a SmartPlan 78, 108 or 148 under a 24-month contract. Loyal DiGi customers who have been using DiGi for more than 12 months will be rewarded by not having to pay the advanced payment. Unfortunately, there won't be any gold coloured model for those gold lovers as the HTC One (M8) from DiGi is only available in Glacial silver and Gunmetal Grey.

DiGi is now running roadshows this weekend at couple of places where they are offering the Samsung Galaxy S5 for RM999. You have to sign up for DG Smart Plan 108 & a supplementary line in order to enjoy it. For standard DG Smart Plan 108 alone, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is normally offered at RM1,399. It is RM400 off provided if you get an extra sub-line under your account.

Going for a pre-order of the just locally released Samsung Galaxy S5, DiGi are now offering the smartphone from RM1199 on pre-order. Retailing at RM2399, the smartphone does cost quite a bit, so a discount past 50% is quite welcome, especially if you're planning to use a DG SmartPlan. Balancing out the lower price is the fact that you are limited to a 24 months contract but you'll still get the smartphone from 11 April 2014. The DiGi pre-order will end on 10 April 2014 and for some added value DiGi are also offering 9GB of data free for the 3 months after 19 April 2014.

In line with their new 4G LTE enabled DG SmartPlan, DiGi have also revealed new device bundles for the Motorola Moto G, Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy, Huawei Ascend G510, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro, Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia C, Sony Xperia Z Ultra and Sony Xperia Z1. These include the DG SmartPlan 50, DG SmartPlan 78, DG SmartPlan 108 and DG SmartPlan 148. Bear in mind that since these are postpaid plans you'll still have to sign up for the devices under either a 12-month or 24-month contract. However, DiGi have simplified this somewhat by having all contract device bundles under the DG SmartPlan set at 12-months while the other three plans are set at 24-month contracts.

Joining the rest of the major telcos in Malaysia, DiGi have recently unveiled their new DG SmartPlan postpaid plans which will feature 4G LTE connectivity. While there was 4G LTE provided previously for the DiGi Broadband and Tablet Internet Plans, the refresh should let smartphone owners join the fray. In line with this, DiGi have removed their SmartPlan 58 and SmartPlan 88 postpaid plans to be replaced with the DG SmartPlan 50, SmartPlan 78 and SmartPlan 108 all of which feature data, voice calls, SMS and other common services. In general, the plans offer more data and a few extra features such as unlimited calls within the DiGi network during weekends and so forth.

On top of the gold coloured HTC One, DiGi looks to be completing the set with the HTC One Mini and HTC One Max, both of which are on zero contract. The HTC One Mini is available from RM1430, a bit lower than it's retail price of RM1599 while the HTC One Max is available from RM2225, again a bit lower than it's retail price of RM2499. The zero contract means that you can terminate the plan at any time but to qualify for the lower price, you will have to signe up for the SmartPlan 58, SmartPlan 88 or SmartPlan 148 postpaid plans. Users can expect rebates of RM10  a month for the SmartPlan 58, RM20 a month for the SmartPlan 88 and RM33 a month for the SmartPlan 148 for the first 24 months.
