DiGi 3G voice and data service

Please be noted that I’m not talking about broadband service.It’s the services used on phones.

As what I know,the 3G voice calls are only available among DiGi users only and the coverage is still restricted in Klang Valley,Penang and Kota Kinabalu.You can check the details of the coverage here.On the other hand,DiGi has two choices of plans:Internet Unlimited Max 5(1-day plan) and Internet Unlimited 58(monthly plan).DiGi is very nice to prepare all the comparison charts to you.I bet you could choose the right one.

Internet Unlimited Max 5

The daily usage limit is 100MB for Internet Unlimited Max 5.Over the limit,you still can get the connection with no extra charges,but slower speed.Internet Unlimited 58The monthly usage limit is 3GB for Internet Unlimited 58.You also will meet the slower speed if you’ve been over the limit.By the way,RM10 monthly rebate is currently given to all existing DiGi postpaid users who sign up this plan.The rebate will last for one year,making RM120 savings for you.

Don’t forget to visit the official website to read these annoying Terms and Conditions before you subscribe it.

DiGi Turbo 3G

Mobile World Magazine firstly reported this news.I think most DiGi users will be happy to hear this.However,some people will be upset when they get the full story because the information up to date only says DiGi Turbo 3G will land in Penang and Kota Kinabalu on October 22nd,2009.No other places are listed in the picture.

DiGiFrankly speaking,I like this name ‘turbo’.From my understanding,turbo means boosting on speed.Thus,DiGi Turbo 3G should be a kind of higher speed broadband plan,perhaps packing with 3G voice service too.I guess the reason DiGi doesn’t want to introduce this new service in Klang Valley is either some delays on upgrading of hardware/software there or some physical testing/enhancements going to be done in Penang and Kota Kinabalu initially so that the most popular area-Klang Valley will get the best performance later when DiGi Turbo 3G being introduced one day.

Anyway,I’m still waiting to hear the official announcement to clear my mind now. :)
