News & Reviews:   DiGi

Today, Huawei Malaysia has announced that its very own official Android app, Huawei AppGallery can now accept bill payments from DiGi, Hotlink, Maxis, and U Mobile. This new partnership between the companies offers subscribers of the respective telcos the ability to purchase digital content conveniently for things such as buying in-game items and others via the Huawei AppGallery.

Aside from being able to purchase a wide range of in-app products from various games, customers can also purchase customized themes which can then be paid through their monthly phone bills online. According to the information from the company, it seems that only postpaid users of DiGi, Maxis and U Mobile can perform this, while only Hotlink prepaid users can pay using prepaid credit from topups.

Welcome back to another weekly NewsBytes segment where we bring you the latest tech news from the edge (at least for us). So how was your 11.11 shopping spree? You might have spent quite a sum but don't feel guilty about it - our TechNave team also did the same becase this year's 11.11 sale was really good and I bought some items that I don't even need like a ninja flu mask, but it's too cool and cheap to ignore it. Thanks to my and the many Malaysians contribution to 11.11, Huawei Online Store did great, so did Lazada, Shopee,  honor Malaysia and 11street too which you can read below after this introduction.

Today, Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd has announced that its Digi Home Broadband plans will be getting a huge upgrade. How huge? Well, for both new and existing customers a 50% more Internet data, with a starting price as low as RM45!

In this day and age, most users fully rely on their mobile Internet to get their daily dose of news, information and entertainment on websites and apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, as well as Instagram. Not only that, it has to also be reliable and affordable while travelling abroad as well. In order to do so, they are expected to subscribe to a mobile prepaid or postpaid plan to access the Internet through their mobile number. We will be taking a closer look at the Digi Postpaid 58 Plan, Digi Postpaid 80 Plan and lastly the Digi Postpaid 120 Plan and why I feel that the Digi Postpaid 80 Plan offers the best value among the 3 plans mentioned.

Today Digi has announced that the new MyDigi Rewards will have even more rewards and deals every single day. MyDigi Rewards, which is exclusively available on the MyDigi app for more than 11.7 million Digi customers would be able to get deals and rewards from more than 500 brands brands across Malaysia.

Since mid-August 2018, Digi has introduced a bunch of Add-On features for both prepaid and postpaid plans including the Internet Cili Padi, which initially offered 3GB of Internet data for RM3 but that's changed now. From now onwards, it now offers 10GB Internet data for just RM2!

Recently Digi held an Star Wars event in Sunway Pyramid featuring the Star Wars: Jedi Challenges augmented reality game by Lenovo. During the event, customers can purchase the Augmented reality set for RM388 instead of the original RM776 for existing and new postpaid subscribers of Digi. Not only that, there were plenty of lucky draws, free gifts, as well as opportunities to take photos with Star Wars characters such as the lightsaber wielding Jedi and Sith.

By now, most of you should be aware that the Huawei Nova 3i is already out in Malaysia for RM1249 across the nation. We also mentioned that major telcos will have some plans for the device and we finally have the information you need to know, particularly from Celcom, Digi and Maxis.

So Digi subscribers, did you receive any SMS from the company today? Because starting today, most Digi users have received a new Internet Gemilang promotion that offers unlimited Internet data for 61 days (from 12AM - 12PM)! The best part of it is that both Prepaid and Postpaid users are eligible for this promotion.
