News & Reviews:   WeBe

Just a few hours ago, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) just issued a new statement to remind our local telco operators about advertising the confusing data promotion and unlimited internet packages. The group have already taken action and will address the problem in order to protect the interest of consumers.

Are you a webe subscriber and a hardcore mobile gamer? Rejoice as webe digital has just announced Direct Career Billing (DCB) feature, which allows its members be able to charge the purchase of mobile games and in-app purchases from Google Play Store to their mobile phone bills immediately without the need for credit cards.

Today, webe digital is offering you something awesome and this is for the Red Devils fans. That’s right, from now until 4 July 2017, new subscribers who sign up for webemobile; or existing members who add supplementary lines to their webemobile accounts; will stand a chance to win a trip to Old Trafford in Manchester, United Kingdom!

Remember webe digital? If you don’t, they are the guys who are offering unlimited data, SMS and calls for a conditional price of just RM79 (that’s including discount), it sounds all great until you learn that you can’t do tethering for free. But that’s all changed now, webe digital has just announced that every existing and new webemobile member will receive 1GB of data for tethering FREE every month at no additional charge for the next three months.

Webe, the youngest telco company here in Malaysia is looking to step their game up by increasing their internet data speeds up to 300Mbps by the end of 2017.

Sorry TechNavers, last week due to weekend events and issues we could not foresee, I couldn't get the Weekly TechNave out. The good news is that now we have 2 weeks of tech news and events for this week's Weekly TechNave.

Internationally, the Xiaomi Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus got launched along with the TCL 950 and Blackberry will not be designing smartphones anymore. Samsung also officially announced their Galaxy A8 (2016). The Malaysian prices for the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus got "officially" leaked, so check out our compilation page to register your interest for the telco of your choice.

After plenty of teasers, Webe's 1 simple unlimited mobile Internet plan is finally open to Malaysia's public. Featuring unlimited Internet data, calls, SMS and no contract the plan is available for RM199 but with discounts (RM60 off if you have a Webe certified phone + RM60 off if you are a P1/TM customer) you can get it for as low as RM79 a month. Check out the video below and their site for more information. We're currently reviewing the webe plan so stay tuned for more at TechNave.com.

Today, webe has announced that they will be rolling out a new webe mobile service. Prior to the email invite of selected TM customers and webe (formerly P1) members for now, the plan will cost RM199 monthly for as many calls, text and data usage as your want! But that's not all, it gets better with rebates for your family members as low as RM79 per month and up to RM49 per months with your bill. 

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.
