News & Reviews:   Digi plan

Maxis, Celcom and DiGi have all made the Apple iPad Air available in Malaysia on their various plans and packages. The iPad Air is also generally available on the Malaysian Apple store along with local sellers. For a complete and customizable comparison based on price and telco provider check out our Technave.com Apple iPad Air plan comparison tool and the various tables and links in this article.

Completing the major Malaysian Telco Apple iPad Air offers is DiGi who are offering the tablet on a zero contract package from RM1453. Unfortunately, the catch is that it is only for the 16GB Apple iPad Air 4G LTE Cellular version and there is only one plan for it. You also have to pay an upfront payment and advance payment as well. The good news is that the early payment will be rebated back to you over the course of 24 months, but if you decide to terminate or shift plans, you lose this early payment. For more details, check out the table and links in the article.

With the end of the year 2013 looming ahead, DiGi are offering a number of smartphones that include the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3, Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro, Samsung Galaxy Note II, Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z and Sony Xperia C for FREE. The catch is that you have to sign up for either the DG SmartPlan 88 or DG SmartPlan 148 under a 24-month contract. For more details check out the table and links in this article.

The Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are finally fully available within Malaysia both on the Malaysian Apple Store as well as for most of the telcos in Malaysia. This includes Celcom, DiGi and Maxis for now. For a complete customizable comparison based on price, etc, check out our Technave.com:

DiGi are also offering the Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C but this time aren't really reducing the price of the smartphone but giving more monthly rebates throughout the contract period. Unlike some other telcos, DiGi are offering the two Apple iPhone models under a single 24-month contract but this one has a bit more value where the monthly rebates are concerned. After subtracting the monthly rebates you can see some pretty good prices for both the Apple iPhone 5S and the Apple iPhone 5C. For more details check out the table and links in this article.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has finally been offered by 4 of the major telcos in Malaysia. Retailing at an RRP of RM2399, each of these telcos in Malaysia is offering the LTE-enabled 32GB version. It is also available at lower prices in our sister site of Mobile Mega Mall.com with discounts up to RM300. Of the 4 major telcos the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is offered for free as a combo with DiGi, Celcom and Maxis while U Mobile has the smartwatch available for separate purchase at it's Berjaya Times Square branch. If you haven't tried it out yet, do check out our Samsung Galaxy Note 3 plan comparison tool for a more comprehensive listing of all the available plans for the phablet. In any case, you can see all the tables in this article, containing the details of each plan.

DiGi has announced that it will now be offering the Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro Duos, from just RM0. Yep, you can get it for free, provided you sign up for the DG SmartPlan 148 under a 24 month contract. If you don't mind the same 24 month contract but are not such a heavy mobile internet user you can also sign up for the DG SmartPlan 58 or DG SmartPlan 88 at fairly low subsidized prices.

Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 pre-orders are opening up and DiGi is currently offering the smartphone from RM1319 with a free Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch for DG SmartPlan 148 subscribers. The Note 3 is still available by itself for other Smart Plan postpaid subscribers but all of them are under a 24 month contract. According to earlier reports, DiGi may only have limited stock of the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch so if you want the RM999 smartwatch free, now is the time. For more details check out the table and other details in this article.

Barely a week after being announced, DiGi has already opened up the the pre-registration form for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The page asks for your Name,  Mobile Number and Email address and like all of the previous Registration of Interest pages, should notify you about a day or so in advance of the official launching and release in Malaysia. While the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date in Malaysia is expected to be 25 September 2013, it is still unclear if DiGi have got exclusive distribution rights or have some other promo waiting in the wings. No pricing was mentioned but we should see details from other telcos and perhaps some pricing details in the next couple of days.

DiGi recently added a new device to their Postpaid Simple plan packages in the form of the Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy. This entry-level phablet should make a perfect device for those who want a smartphone with a larger screen and is available for free with the Postpaid Simple plan on a 24 month contract at RM50 a month plus a Mobile Internet plan.
