Celcom shows iPhone4s packages at last

Up to date,all major mobile market players in Malaysia have shown their iPhone4s plans after Celcom unveiled it yesterday.

Which mobile companies you want to sign with?Maxis?DiGi?Or Celcom?I think you’d better to take the calculator to  check which one fits your needs and budget.And if you want to buy an iPhone4S with no bundle,you can get it directly from Apple Store Malaysia with Retail price.It’s your choice.

 

iPhone4S:another one week,but you can do something now

iPhone fans will love MalaysianWireless so much as he used all his connections to get lots of stories about iPhone4S launch and now he had already drawn a much clearer picture to us.

Maxis had closed ‘register of interest’ and 100,000 people who had registered days ago should receive an email from Maxis to arrange a time slot attending iPhone4S launch at 9PM(Thurday night),15 December 2011 at KL Convention Center,being the first people to get iPhone4S at 12:01(Friday morning),16 December 2011.Of course,they also can choose to pick up their phones during the days on Friday and Saturday.

Celcom has planned to hold up a launching event at the same time that Maxis does,but the place will be La Bodega, Bangsar Shopping Center.Again,people who wants to attend that event,need to arrange the time slot as well.MalaysianWireless revealed that Celcom will probably offer some kind of discounts in some form secretly.If you can sign up Celcom Exec i248 postpaid plan for 24 months,you can only pay RM558 for iPhone4S 16GB and bring it home.

So DiGi is the only one acting quietly.I think many people wanna ask MalaysianWireless to dip out some more news from DiGi too. :D

iPhone4S is really driving Malaysian Apple fans crazy!!!

December 16:A big day for Maxis,Celcom and Digi

What’s that day?If you’re an iPhone fan,you may also know it.Yes,iPhone 4S will start to be sold by those 3 mobile companies at the same day.That’s the very first time.

We can imagine that the competition among all mobile companies will be explosive,so maybe as a consumer,we could expect a better plan to bundle with the latest iPhone.

Maxis and Digi had started to ‘register your interest’ from days ago while Celcom also publicly announced the date of sales.

Just wait and see which mobile providers could offer a better value of service. :)

Start to use Umobile

I registered a Umobile prepaid SIM pack online days ago.Today,through days of delay(the carrier service used by Umobile is lousy),I received it.I topped up RM30 and got another RM4.5 bonus.I applied unlimited mobile Internet costing RM28 for 30 days and started to test the speed.

I did all tests on speedtest.net by Nexus One in my home.The average download speed is around 2000Kbps which is really awesome;However,the upload speed is only around 80-100Kbps,that’s sad.

I could receive 3G signal at home.With my own experience,Umobile has the strongest signal in my home among Maxis,DiGi and itself.The call quality is also pretty clear.So I will keep trying the service from Umobile.If it’s quite ok,I will keep using it and cut the existing service from DiGi.

Cheer up,Umobile!

[UPDATE]

Yesterday I went out gathering with friends and at that indoor place,the 3G signal was quite bad,only 1 bar left.At a very first time,my phone switched to Celcom 2G network.I made a quick test on it in terms of download and upload speed in EDGE.The result is:

Average download speed:200Kbps

Average upload speed:80Kbps

It’s still usable,but you can’t hope more than that.

Need to stress here that Umobile allows its mobile service users to have data roaming on Celcom network,unfortunately U Broadband users can’t do that.Maybe they don’t want to mess up the 2G network.

So my conclusion is,Umobile is working fantastically,at least for now.
