News & Reviews:   mobile plan

In conjunction with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, U Mobile is offering a device promo tied to its family plan. But before we get into what the promo is all about, below is a recap of the details of the two new Samsung foldable smartphones.

If you're a Maxis user and frequently travel, here's an unwelcome bit of news. Maxis has recently increased the prices for some of its data roaming passes again. The company now charges users RM99 for its 15-day multi-country data pass, while the 30-day pass costs RM149.

Are you a Maxis user and have been waiting for a 5G plan? Well, the wait is finally over, as the company confirmed that it has signed an access agreement with DNB. The company will have access to DNB's 5G network on a wholesale basis, and can soon provide 5G plans to its customers.

We'll all have to switch to 5G someday. Just like how 3G was phased out, 4G would eventually be phased out too. And of course, there are good reasons why you might want to upgrade. But that's not the case for all of us. Today, let's talk about 3 reasons why I have not switched to 5G yet and a few reasons why you might want to do so anyway.

Previously, we reported on how Netflix will block users from downloading films and shows for offline viewing and it seems that the limitations of the subscription tier don’t just end there. In fact, recent reports on the matter also point towards the new Netflix base plan to also limit streaming resolution to 480p.

If you missed out on the previous Digi Jaringan Prihatin offer, no worries - they are back. Digi just announced that the programme has been extended until 31 August 2021 for Malaysians who are eligible under the Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat requirements. On top of that, two new smartphones have been added to the roster which is the Samsung Galaxy A12 and Xiaomi Redmi 9A. 

Today, Maxis just launched a new Hotlink Postpaid and Fibre plan in the Malaysian market. This plan was designed for young Malaysians who value their digital lifestyles and the starting price is RM149 per month. 

Are you looking to get a 5G smartphone? We don't have real 5G networks yet, but companies in Malaysia like DNB are working hard on this. Since that's the case, getting a 5G phone now might not be a bad idea. There's even a way you could get one from realme for free.
