Digi introduces Postpaid Infinite plan with unlimited calls and data

399

Digi has finally up its game once again in the never ending telco war, as the company has announced the Postpaid Infinite plan, which offers unlimited data and calls starting from RM80/month, this is definitely a great news for some users who are looking for an alternative to Webe, which also offers a similar plan but without tethering. However, that doesn’t mean that Digi’s plan doesn’t come with a catch, for instance the Digi Postpaid Infinite 80 plan limits your maximum data speed at 5 Mbps and limits data tethering at 5GB/month.

The Postpaid Infinite 150 plan may be a rather costly plan, however considering that it offers unlimited tethering and maximum connection speed, it is definitely a steal if you are prepared to shell out that much of cash every month. With that said, both Digi Postpaid Infinite 80 and 150 are not eligible for any device purchase from the telco, while currently contracted subscribers are not able to switch to the plan as well even with a lower monthly commitment fee. Digi is offering free 500 and 1000 SMS to all operators for Postpaid Infinite 80 and 150 respectively, users are also able to enjoy the Roam at Home service at RM10/month, which allows you to roam freely with calls and data in 8 countries.

Digi’s Postpaid Infinite is currently available for sign up till 24th June 2017 and this is an online exclusive deal, which you can click

Digi iPhone X and iPhone 8 plans leaked with subsidized prices

416

Apple has just launched its new range of iPhones last week, unveiling a total of 3 iPhones that will go on sale pretty soon. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are both a typical step up from their predecessors the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, while the iPhone X is the company’s revolutionary flagship with a new design for the first time since the iPhone 6.

Malaysian local carriers are expected to make the iPhones available for purchase soon with their respective smartphone plans. An online dealer has apparently got its hands on Digi’s iPhone plans and prices which have yet to be released by the carrier. The image above shows the full range of subsidized prices for the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X according to the carrier’s plans.

Unfortunately, the RRP of the iPhones still remain unknown, but it is safe to say that the iPhone 8 will begin at a price tag of RM 3,299 in Malaysia. We can also assume that the price of the iPhone X starts off at either RM 4,599 or RM 4,699. If customers go for the Go Digi 168 plan however, they will be able to purchase the iPhone 8 at an affordable RM 1,529, or the iPhone X below RM 3,000 at RM 2,849.

The plans as usual, require the customer to be bound to a 2 year contract with Digi, paying a huge sum of cash collectively. Regardless, as this is a leak, let’s not take it too seriously before Digi makes any official announcements.

Digi is bundling 12 months of iflix access to SmartPlan 65 customers

371

Digi and iflix has teamed up yet again to provide customers both old and new a special treat.

From the 26th of January, Digi customers who sign up or upgrade to a Digi SmartPlan 65 or above package will receive a year’s worth of iflix subscription at no additional charge. This is the second time both parties have collaborated on a promotion as Digi and iflix announced a partnership whereby Digi would allow customers to pay for their iflix subscriptions through their prepaid or postpaid accounts last October.

Digi customers who are new to iflix do not need to register for an iflix account to gain access to the service as iflix has since upgraded its back-end integration to allow customers to connect to iflix directly. All customers need to do is to install the iflix app on either their Android or iOS devices and launch it. Iflix would automatically recognise customers connect through Digi’s network and grants access to them whenever and whereever.

“Digi is the first mobile telco operator to offer 12 months access to iflix in Malaysia at no additional costs. We are always looking for new ways to bring added value to customers and strategic partnership like ours with iflix is one example how we innovate to bring the best digital services to the market,” says Christian Thrane, Chief Marketing Officer for Digi.

“We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Digi, Malaysia’s leading telecommunications provider. With our new seamless sign-up process and Digi’s extensive 4G LTE coverage, Digi subscribers can now enjoy uninterrupted and unlimited access to thousands of their favourite TV shows and movies, all available on iflix,” says Azran Osman-Rani, Group COO of iflix and CEO of iflix Malaysia.

Digi PhoneFreedom 365: The smarter installment plan to get a new phone and data

1.8K

It’s all about value when it comes to buying a new smartphone – besides just getting the best device for, within your budget, value also means getting the best deals to go along with your new smartphone. It’s just being a smart consumer!

Digi’s refreshed
PhoneFreedom 365
 plan epitomizes everything a smart consumer looks for – it gets you more savings by offering a discount on your phone while also making your data plan cheaper.

But how much savings are you getting to be exact? For starters, you can get a brand-new phone for as low as RM8! Uh-huh, pinch yourselves. The list of phones includes the iPhone 6s, Samsung Galaxy A21s, and OPPO A53!

It gets even better though because it’s not just the phones that are going for cheap, but Digi’s reliable postpaid plans are too! Anything from Digi Postpaid 120 and up gets discounted.

So, combine an RM8 smartphone with at least the Digi Postpaid 120, and you’ll get one heck of a deal. Take for example the iPhone 6s – it retails at RM1,249, but because you’re paying RM8/month for 24 months, the phone only costs a grand total of RM 192! You’re saving a whopping RM1,057 on your smartphone! Do note that this applies to those eligible for the RM0 upfront device payment deal.

Plus, it’s savings galore from here – your Digi Postpaid 120 plan is now rebated to just RM105/month (RM360 after 24 months) – meaning you’re essentially saving a massive RM1,417 on both your new phone and data plan!

But wait, there’s more – the bigger your data plan, the bigger your discount! Digi Postpaid 160 will see you save RM480 after two years, while Digi Postpaid 190 will save you RM600 when the contract ends. To add to the value, you’re also getting a whopping 200GB of high-speed internet when you sign up for the Digi Postpaid 190 plan! Have a look at the table below for a clearer picture of what’s in store:

Digi Postpaid plan with PhoneFreedom 365

Total Plan Savings

Digi Postpaid 120 (RRP RM120)

RM15/month rebate – total savings of RM360 after 24 months

Digi Postpaid 160 (RRP RM160)

RM20/month rebate – total savings of RM480 after 24 months

Digi Postpaid 190 (RRP RM190)

RM25/month rebate – total savings of RM600 after 24 months

All that money saved is enough to buy you a new phone – but you don’t have to because, with PhoneFreedom 365, you can upgrade to a new device for free after your 18th month with your current contract.

So why Digi, right? Other telcos offer smartphones from as low as RM1 like Maxis, or RM0.99 with U Mobile. Well, Digi offers the biggest savings compared to the other big players so you don’t break the bank when you a powerful flagship like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G! Here’s a breakdown to show you how Digi differs from the rest:

If you’re not convinced yet, PhoneFreedom 365 is open to anyone – including existing users and new customers alike. Plus, Digi’s RM1 deal lets you add–on subscriptions to Viu, Dimsum, and more for, well…RM1!

If you sign up for Digi Postpaid 160 and Digi Postpaid 190, you’re also entitled to free Digi Shield coverage which is an accidental and liquid damage warranty program which covers you for up to two years.

Since you’re rocking all that data and watching your favourite
oppa
 on Viu, don’t be surprised if your family gets jealous – perhaps you could appease them by giving them the same amount of internet you have for just RM38! The only catch is that they need to be a supplementary line holder.

Digi silently upgrades data quota of postpaid plans

933

Now, who doesn’t love more data without an increase in monthly price? Digi has silently updated its data quota across its postpaid plan offerings.

This upgrade applies to both new and existing Digi Postpaid customers, for customers signed up to the most affordable Digi Postpaid 58, your data is now being upgraded to 10GB of all-day data instead of the previous weekday/weekend quota, new customers are given a monthly additional 5GB of welcome bonus for the first six months, while existing customers will get a 5GB loyalty bonus data every six months for the next two years.

Want more data? The Digi Postpaid 80 is now also upgraded with an all-day quota, new customers will receive a monthly additional 10GB as a welcome bonus for the first six months, while existing customers are being treated to an additional 10GB of data every six months for the next two years. If you require slightly more data, GBoost is still available for an additional 10GB but the 100GB YouTube streaming quota is removed in this case.

Customers on Digi Postpaid 120 to Digi Postpaid 190 are now treated to an extra 10GB of quota, and if you are signed up to a device plan you do of course get double the base quota, making this the most generous postpaid plan of all time.

Why Digi Postpaid Family is the best postpaid plan for the family?

1.2K

If you are reading this, you are probably the most tech literate person in the family, you get your family into the world of technology, such as using a WhatsApp group to communicate with each other, sending voice messages instead of making phone calls, until the extent that your parents might be creating their own Instagram stories or Facebook live videos. However, when it comes to paying your family’s phone bills, you are most likely in a dilemma on how you can save up on your family’s phone bills, while your current Postpaid plan might not offer a great amount of data for your share lines or is limited to several users. My family has been on the Digi Postpaid Family plan for the past two months, and here are a few reasons why I think you should give it a try.

Super-Sized Data, Unlimited Calls, Up to 4 Additional Family Lines

I personally don’t really like the idea of only having additional data when I sign up for a family line, simply because it doesn’t make sense to pay more for that, the Digi Postpaid Family 250 plan for instance gives me 120GB of high speed 4G Plus data regardless the number of active family lines, I can have up to four additional family lines and have the data quota shared equally across, or limit the quota for a user conveniently using the MyDigi app. In a nutshell, I am getting 24GB of data per family member if I maximize the plan.

Furthermore, all my family members get unlimited calls to all networks on Digi’s 4G Plus network with VoLTE, if your phone supports the feature, imagine that crystal clear voice call you get to enjoy when communicating with your family.

No limits on Hotspot Tethering

No one loves to have limits on tethering data to other devices, because Digi Postpaid Family lets every family member tether out of the maximum 120GB data quota at 4G Plus speeds, just imagine if you have other devices such as your laptop, tablet or a gaming device that requires Internet access, depending on public WiFi isn’t going to give you a great Internet experience on the go, with the huge quota on my Digi Postpaid family plan, I no longer have worries tethering to other devices, while I do keep a watch out on my family’s usage just in case they really finish the quota.

Roaming Data and Call Minutes that can be Shared

Heading to Australia, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand for a family trip soon? Digi Postpaid Family offers Roam Like Home, which offers FREE roaming of 5GB Internet and 60mins voice calls for your principle line. Your additional family line can enjoy it too with an additional of RM30/month for each line. Hence you and your family can immediately do a Facebook check-in or upload a selfie to Instagram upon arriving at any of the countries mentioned above, saving the need to connect to unreliable WiFi hotspots or fighting through the queue for a local tourist SIM, which is something I have experienced one time when I was on a trip to Taiwan on a late night, the traveller SIM kiosk was already closed and my family felt really uncomfortable to activate expensive roaming fees, this is going to eliminate that worry if I ever travel to the above countries, and all of us can even make calls with the 60 free minutes, which can be used to call back to Malaysia or during roaming.

Affordable Extra Data Quota

Accidental data usage happens in a family plan, no matter how much quota you have, and Digi has that covered with affordable extra data that lasts throughout the billing period, you can subscribe for an extra 5GB or 10GB of data for your family at RM15 and RM25 respectively, divide that up with your family line, it is as affordable as a meal. Even though I haven’t had the opportunity to do that, and I wished I never need to, there will come a time where I don’t need to worry about paying expensive prices for data quota add-ons.

The Best Value Family Postpaid Plan

Based on the chart above, U Mobile has the lowest fee per line and offers unlimited data with its P99 plan, however the problem with it is that it has limited tethering to 30GB and it isn’t totally unlimited when it comes to video streaming, as the telco’s Video-Onz only lets you stream videos at high speed in SD quality, while your speed is throttled when streaming videos at HD quality, not to forget to mention the telco’s limited and congested service coverage, which makes it not quite great for a family plan.

As for Celcom and Maxis, they have higher monthly commitments and offer additional data only when a new family line is added. Therefore, Digi Postpaid Family is the better plan as it offers great data quota, no limits on hotspot tethering, roaming data that can be shared with other family lines, for as low as RM50 monthly per user. Furthermore, there’s no need to head over to a physical Digi store to sign up for this, it is easy to sign up and port in to Digi Postpaid Family over your computer by logging on to Digi’s website, which you can check it out over at

Digi Postpaid now comes with more data than ever

446

In less than a year, Digi has once again updated its postpaid offering with more data, customers subscribed to Digi Postpaid 80 till 160 should notice an additional 10GB in your quota starting today, while new sign ups are automatically entitled to the new data benfits.

New Digi Postpaid 80

In case of the Digi Postpaid 80 plan, you no longer need to sign up for GBoost in order to enjoy 40GB of all-day Internet, you will also get additional 40GB of loyalty bonus over 24 months, which every 10GB will be given every six months you stay with the telco.

More Data on Affordable Digi Postpaid plans

Digi has also updated the entry-level Digi Postpaid 58 plan with 15GB of all-day data, customers will also receive a 20GB loyalty bonus and an additional 15GB Internet Bonus 365 per month, while there is a slight confusion in the fine print on how the additional data is being allocated, customers should be getting 30GB of all-day Internet during the first six months, the 20GB loyalty will be distributed in 5GB four times every six months.

If you still think you don’t need that much of data, the Digi Postpaid 38 is also up and offers 9GB of all-day Internet with additional 7.5GB of Internet Bonus 365 every month, you get unlimited calls as well as 12GB of loyalty bonus if you stay with Digi over the next 24 months, you will however need to head over to a Digi store to sign up for this plan.

Digi Prepaid NEXT now offers up to 30GB data and unlimited calls

3.7K

After refreshing its postpaid plans, Digi Prepaid customers are also given an upgrade with more data at a cheaper value, though it does come with a catch.

At RM35/month, customers will get 30GB of high-speed all usage Internet quota along with unlimited calls, along with unlimited data quota for social media apps such as Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, this is a superb value compared to prepaid plans from other telcos.

However, the only limitation here is that only 3GB of data can be used as mobile hotspot data, so unless you aren’t the type of user that always tether your phone’s connection to your computer, you should be fine here.

Other plans include the NEXT 20 and NEXT 15 monthly plan, which you will get 15GB and 6GB of data respectively while calls are charged pay as you use, they are also complemented with unlimited social apps usage but with even lesser mobile hotspot quota at 1GB.

Booster add-ons are available and they are pretty reasonably priced if you run out of data during the period, where you will only need to pay up to RM10 for the 10GB quota, there’s also unlimited music and video data that can be purchased at RM3 and RM20 respectively, while additional 20GB hotspot will cost you RM15. Overall, the charges are extremely reasonable.

Digi Prepaid NEXT: High-speed internet from RM15/month

1.5K

Digi
 is slightly slower than
U Mobile
,
Celcom
 and
Maxis
, but the telco has finally offered a new high-speed internet plan called the Digi Prepaid NEXT.

Digi Prepaid NEXT

Digi Prepaid NEXT offers three different 30-day plans. For RM15, users can get 3GB of high-speed internet and unlimited internet for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. For RM28, there are two options to pick from; users can either opt for 6GB high-speed internet paired with unlimited internet for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, or get 4GB internet paired with unlimited calls to all networks.

Digi vs other telco plans

All three plans are valid for 30 days; customers get free 1GB basic internet every month and up to 2GB high-speed internet if they renew on time every month. This is slightly different from the unlimited internet plans that have been offered by the other telcos.

Digi Prepaid NEXT’s unlimited internet quota is specifically set for social media usage while other prepaid plans offer unlimited data and calls. However, it’s also more affordable compared to the other telco plans. For example,
Celcom’s Truly Unlimited Prepaid
 starts at RM12/week, but if you count its cost for a month, it’ll cost RM48/month. However, those who often use their hotspot will find
U Mobile
 a better choice – it offers 6GB of hotspot quota for the GX30 and GX38 plan.

Digi releases two very attractive postpaid plans for big and small families

474

Digi has a new plan that is focusing on families with the new Digi Postpaid Family plans. There are two packages for this plan, the RM150 per month for up to two family members or if you have a bigger family, there you can go for the 250 per month plan that covers up to four family members.

The difference between the two plans is as stated, the number of family members, and the quota that you will be getting. With the 150 plan, you and another member of the family will have 60GB in total to share. The 250 plan, on the other hand, will give 120GB to share among the four family members. The catch is the quota is split in half giving you 60GB for weekdays and another 60GB for weekends referencing the 250 package and its the same for the 150 plan, but you will be getting unlimited calls to all networks on all lines for both plans. There is also an option to pay RM30 for each family line if you are roaming and that will get you 5GB data and 60 minutes call.

For family members that are data hungry, you can restrict the quota allocated to a particular line or all the lines if need be via the MyDigi app. For more information on this plan, visit the

Digi revamps its postpaid plan offerings with more data and unlimited calls

757

The data and unlimited call war hasn’t died down just yet, as Digi has just unveiled a set of new postpaid plans for both new and existing subscribers, whether you require more data or calls, the telco definitely has the plan you will want with reasonable fees and all rounder features.

Starting from a monthly fee of RM28/month, users can choose between plans with either more data or calls and SMS, the data focused postpaid plan offers up to 20GB of monthly quota and allows users to carry forward up to 9GB of unused data, while calls and SMS is limited to 1000 minutes and 1000 SMS. On the other hand, the call centric postpaid plan offers up to 13GB of data with unlimited calls and SMS, hence both sets of postpaid plans tend to offer a great value to the user.

In conjunction to the new postpaid plans, Digi is also introducing a new budget traveller’s roaming plan for certain countries at RM10/day, which gives users unlimited use of social messaging apps at a throttled internet speeds, you can still of course, opt for the RM36/day unlimited internet roaming plan if you really want high speed internet while roaming abroad.

After making certain coverage improvements last year, the telco is set to launch future communication technologies such as LTE-A, VoLTE and VoWiFi in time to come, these new postpaid plans certainly give users more reasons to stay or switch over, the new postpaid plans are only available for a limited time till 30 June 2016, and DiGi is giving users who switched to the new postpaid plan extra discounts for life, which we wonder what they really are.

Digi shares why 5G is essential for faster and reliable connectivity

1.3K

It might seem like yesterday where 4G just became widely available, 5G is already on the verge of being widely deployed and used. Granted, 5G has been teased for over the past 3 years, most of us can easily assume that it is merely faster Internet speeds, but to telcos like Digi, there is a grander picture of how 5G will transform the everyone’s digital life and businesses.

I had the opportunity to speak to Bjørn Talle Sandberg, Head of Telenor Research, at Digi’s 5G Malaysia showcase press conference yesterday, as he shared how 5G is being tested back at the telco group’s homeland, Norway.

One of the biggest advantage that 5G has over 4G is that it is able to connect more devices and being able to distribute bandwidth efficiently to different groups, which in other terms known as ‘network slicing’. This has been realised on the largest hospital in Norway, which they have been using to keep track thousands of beds fitted with wireless communication sensors, 5G has hence allowed the connectivity of the sensors to be always available, which is impossible with 4G as it would have easily caused congestion for that amount of devices connected to a single spectrum.

When questioned on the limitation of 4G, Bjørn shared an example of a fish farm in Norway, which they have cameras and autonomous feeding devices in their respective tanks that are connected to 4G networks, however once the farm receives a swarm of visitors that begin their social media activities on their phones, the cameras and feeding devices no longer work properly remotely, thus affecting business operations when the operators needed to check on the fish tanks.

Ultimately, 5G isn’t simply regarded as a next generation network technology that lets you download music or movies faster, but rather to handle the increasing number of IoT devices, reducing communications latency and ensuring consistent connectivity.

On a consumer perspective, this means we will be able to enjoy richer content experiences such as AR and VR over the air. For businesses, it would be a significant improvement in automated and mission critical applications, hence the demonstration of a 5G connected car and drone was being showcased at the event to prove the effortless and ultra low latency connectivity.

Digi intends to rollout 5G from 2021 onwards, which isn’t too faraway from now and we should be seeing more 5G devices to emerge in time to come.

Digi silently announces Digi UP smartphone upgrade program

331

Changing smartphones every year? Hate telco contracts? You will probably be interested in Digi’s latest smartphone upgrade program Digi UP, a similar effort to Maxis’ Zerolution and Celcom’s EasyPhone, Digi UP allows you to choose from a variety of smartphones with a monthly fee on top of a Digi Postpaid 110 plan, customers can opt to upgrade their phones after a year and be guaranteed a buy back price on their existing devices. Most interestingly, Digi UP requires no additional monthly payment for its Digi Shield device protection plan, which covers your device from accidental damage and theft for up to 24 months, but you will still be required to pay a replacement fee.

At this point of time, Digi UP offers the Galaxy Note 8, Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Huawei Mate 10 for sign up, the monthly rates are actually quite affordable and considering that you can swap for a new phone after a year, the savings of buying a new phone is obvious with this plan. However, if you choose to maintain your existing device and discontinue the service after 24 months, the device will still need to be returned to Digi, while you can still continue using the postpaid plan. Also, Digi UP is only offered to existing subscribers with minimum 3 years tenure, customers will also need to have a monthly usage of more than RM80 in the past 3 months and good payment record in the last 12 months.

The Digi UP product page isn’t officially available on Digi’s website at this time of writing, the announcement was made in the company’s community forum, while we are very sure that most of the terms and conditions will remain unchanged when it goes official, there could be more devices being offered in the program with affordable monthly rates in the coming months.

Digi Smart Prepaid now offers 8GB of LTE data quota in weekends for life

691

While
U Mobile offers its prepaid customers 1GB of high speed data
for life as long as they stay activated with a minimum RM10 top up, Digi is now catching up to the competition by offering its Digi Smart Prepaid users an additional 8GB of LTE quota data in the weekends for life, users should take note that the quota is split into 2GB for every weekend, this offer is also available to current customers as well and all they need to do is to dial *888*6# to get it activated, no minimum credit top up is required as well.

Digi unveils RDY Gaming Plan with 50GB data at RM68/month for a limited time

1.9K

Got a gaming phone? Its probably time to think of getting a gaming plan, and Digi has just unveiled the RDY Gaming Plan, pronounced as the Ready Gaming Plan, this is a prepaid plan that the company has crafted specifically for mobile gamers with features such as Always-on Gaming Internet, Optimized Gaming Latency and Game Credit Cashback.

Priced at RM88/month, the RDY Gaming Plan comes with 50GB of all-access high speed internet and unlimited calls to all networks. For a limited time, the telco is giving a RM20 off the plan for early birds and the first 500 sign-ups between 10 to 31 December 2021 will receive 10% extra Internet for the next 12 months.

But why? Isn’t your existing data plan already good enough?

Well, the RDY Gaming Plan comes with unlimited data for six game titles, namely Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Free Fire, Arena of Valor and League of Legends: Wild Rift. In addition, Digi claims to provide optimized gaming latency on these six titles, which gamers should experience lower ping and latency when playing these games on the go.

Digi is even bold enough to claim on its microsite that the latency can be reduced from 243ms to 14ms, which is as close as playing the game over your home’s WiFi network with a fixed broadband connection.

In most cases, gaming over 4G results in 30-45ms of ping latency, so if Digi can further reduce that figure on these games, it will most certainly benefit hard-core mobile gamers that need to game anywhere, anytime.

In addition, customers on the RDY Gaming Plan will receive 5% cashback when they purchase game credits with their Digi Prepaid credits on Google Play, Apple App Store, Huawei AppGallery, Garena and CODA Shop.

The Digi RDY Gaming Plan is now available for new sign ups and existing Digi Prepaid users, which you will only need to make the switch via the MyDigi app or *128# UMB. Visit

Digi’s network is about to get wider and more consistent with the 900MHz spectrum allocation

263

Digi has been hard at work last year, starting with offering attractive data packages with reasonable prices and dedicated video streaming quota, while further enhancing their network with the implementation of LTE-A and VoLTE to customers. This year is a game changing moment for Digi, as the telco has been awarded the 900MHz spectrum by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, which aims to offer wider coverage outdoors and enhances indoor signals.

“We have been aggressively expanding  our network across Malaysia over the past year and today, we are thrilled to be able to serve 85% of Malaysians with high speed, consistent internet on our ‘Network Built for Entertainment’ quoted Digi’s Chief Network Officer Kesavan Sivabalan. The telco has currently covered most populated areas of East Malaysia with its 4G LTE network, while having the most concentrated LTE-A coverage in the Klang Valley area as compared to other networks.

What Digi intends to focus in its network coverage expansion isn’t all about offering the fastest data connection but rather, a consistent experience that reduces lag in things such as video streaming, which is one of the most used data applications among Malaysian users. In addition, the company has also made VoLTE available on all of its 4G coverage areas, which users can experience crystal clear voice calls on supported phone models.

Once the 900MHz spectrum has been activated, it will be layered with the telco’s 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz spectrums, which helps to offer better network capacity for data heavy applications. As of now, Digi’s 4G population coverage now covers 85% nationwide in 275 cities and town, while LTE-A coverage has been implemented in 41% of coverage areas nationwide.

Digi's new broadband plan offers 100GB of quota with rebates for Digi Postpaid customers

805

As if the telco competition is starting to cool down, Digi has introduced two new high quota broadband plans for the mass market, starting from RM145/month with 50GB of quota, up to RM185/month with 100GB of quota, this is currently the highest quota broadband plan ever offered by any Malaysian telcos, also a great initiative for being the Widest 4G LTE network in Malaysia. But here’s the catch, the quota of these plans are actually being splitted into two 30/70 for peak and non-peak sessions, so if you are thinking to subscribe to them for downloading your torrents, you had better make sure that your downloads are running while you are asleep.

For existing Digi Postpaid subscribers, the telco is offering a 5% rebate on two of its plans for 6 months and a huge discount is also given on its MobiFi 4G MiFi device, which can connect up to 10 devices over WiFI 802.11ac with a rather huge 3000mAh battery, this is a rather attractive MiFi device if you are thinking to use it for long road trips with multiple devices or users. “What we want is to enrich the lives of our customers and enable them to utilise the internet consistently. With these new broadband plans coupled with our widest 4G LTE and 4G LTE-A coverage, we are set to take on the rising need for internet access, enabling our customers to constantly be ‘online’ while at work or play,” said Praveen Rajan, Digi’s Head of Postpaid & Digital Services.

Digi has been actively expanding its service coverage throughout the nation, the telco kicked-off its #DigiWeWant4GLTE Twitter campaign last year in order to understand the demand of 4G LTE coverage across the nation, at this point of time the telco has over 31% of LTE-A coverage and is working on to implement VoLTE and VoWiFi technologies that significantly improves voice call quality.

Digi’s partnership with MPay and MasterCard offers new digital payment option for Malaysian

301

Digi has announced its partnership with ManagePay Systems Berhad (MPay) and MasterCard as supporting payment technology partners, to offer a new payment proposition to meet the fast-evolving needs of Malaysia’s growing online community.

The partnership has worked together on the development of a digital prepaid card, which will be made available for the public in the first half of the year.

This digital prepaid card enables young Malaysians access digital payments online and in-app across merchant locations that accepts MasterCard worldwide.

The card is specially designed for those who prefer to use online transactions when making a purchase.

Customers can sign up, activate and use the card all within a single mobile app as
 part of a simple, safe and secure end-to-end digital experience.

Praveen Rajan, Digi’s Chief Digital Officer said, “We have observed that the majority of e-commerce transactions still occur with cash. We want to play our part in assisting people to go cashless, and more importantly, offer them the convenience to do what they want on their devices. This partnership with MPay and Mastercard will give young Malaysians a new option to pay and purchase anywhere globally.”

“Our focus will be to acquire retailers and e-tailers to provide them the ability to accept digital card payments and unlock the benefits of going cashless. This includes having access to a suite of merchant tools for improved customer retention, which will
 translate into a more engaging and efficient in-app cashless experience for card holders,” said Dato’ Chew Chee Seng, MPay Group’s Founder, Managing Director and CEO.

Based on MasterCard’s latest online shopping survey, the amount of Malaysians embracing online shopping has increased with 89% having made at least one purchase towards year end 2017, compared to 81% in 2015.

Perry Ong, Country Manager, Malaysia and Brunei, Mastercard said, “The ease and convenience of online shopping, combined with the security and flexibility of this new prepaid proposition, is timely to address the fast-paced needs of young, on-the-go Malaysians. As Malaysia moves towards a cashless society, it is essential to also meet the needs of the unbanked segment of the population. Mastercard is pleased to embark on this partnership as it reinforces a shared effort to not only further expand the digital payments footprint in Malaysia’s growing e-commerce space but also encourage financial inclusion for those outside the mainstream digital banking system.”

Digi's reveals new postpaid plan; offers 10GB of data for RM80 per month

849

Digi has made a new postpaid plan available today and judging from said new postpaid, it is aimed directly at their competitors in blue.

This new postpaid plan, the Digi Postpaid 80, has some similarities with Celcom’s own FIRST Gold plan. For starters, both plans are giving offering 10GB of data for only RM80 per month. Also like Celcom, said 10GB of data is split between data that you can use anytime and data allocated specifically for the weekends.

The difference between Digi’s Postpaid 80 and Celcom’s FIRST Gold lies in its data allocation. In Digi’s case, the company simply allocates 7GB of data for anytime use while the remaining 3GB of data is allocated for weekend use. Celcom’s is a bit more complicated in that the company allocates 5GB of data for generous use while the company provides users with 1.25GB per weekend. As every month has at least four weekends, Celcom would have provided a total of 5GB of weekend data over the course of the month.

Data rollover is also different as well. Whereas Celcom allows its users to bring over 5GB of unused data to the subsequent month, Digi’s would only allow its users to bring over 2GB of data.

Judging from what both telcos are offering, it is safe to say that Digi’s data allocation is a lot more straightforward than Celcom’s.

Aside from data, Digi’s Postpaid 80 plan is pretty standard as it has unlimited calls and unlimited SMS to three Digi Friends. As always, Digi’s has indicated that the Postpaid 80 is a limited time offer, so if you wish to upgrade, you should do it soon.

Dimensity 9000: MediaTek’s latest 5G flagship chipset

1.2K

MediaTek has officially announced its latest flagship chipset — the Dimensity 9000 5G aimed to enhance computing performance, gaming, imaging, multimedia, and connectivity. This chipset might really rival Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
.

4nm octa-core processor

The Dimensity 9000 5G is the first of its kind to be built on TSMC’s 4nm process while also using a new Armv9 architecture. The CPU comes with eight cores featuring one Cortex-X2 core, three Cortex-A710 cores, and four Cortex-A510 cores while the GPU is a 10-core Arm Mali-G710.

There’s also MediaTek’s fifth-generation APU with six cores for AI processing — four performance cores and two flexible cores in which you’ll get 4x more power compared to its predecessor.

Graphics & camera

Phones that use this chip will be able to support up to 144Hz on WQHD+ displays or 180Hz on FHD+ displays. In terms of imaging, its 18-bit HDR Image Signal Processor (ISP) can simultaneously record 4K HDR videos from three cameras and guarantee you quality low light recordings with its “Super Night Video Recording”.

Moreover, the ISP can also support camera sensors of up to a whopping 320MP.

Gaming

With the Arm Mali-G710, the company claims that you’ll get a 35% increase in performance and 60% for power efficiency. There’s also a raytracing SDK that game developers can make use of to bring their game graphics to the next level if they want to.

Other than that, the chip offers onboard 5G modem along with support for Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E.

Smartphones running on the Dimensity 9000 5G chipset are set to arrive around Q1 2022 and brands that will use this SoC include:

Xiaomi

OPPO

vivo

HONOR

So far, the phones confirmed to be adopting this SoC is the OPPO Find X series and the Redmi K50 series.

DirectD is offering full refunds to Huawei users should Google Apps cease to work

328

While the war rages on between Huawei and the US Government, consumers who’ve purchased a Huawei device are left in limbo over the viability of their very expensive purchase.

Part of the reason for that is due to Google’s detachment from the Chinese phone makers – leading to the eventual pulling out of crucial Google Play services like Gmail, Maps, and other Google apps.

In the Philippines, retailers have promised full refunds to customers who’ve bought a Huawei smartphone should they stop to receive updates for the aforementioned Google apps, as well as when they cease to work.

Direct D
, a popular Malaysian retail brand, have announced that they will be doing the same. The retailers took to Facebook to announce the move, and we have to commend them for being willing to bear the loss on sale.

Huawei, or at least their outpost in the UK, have provided reassurance to customers on their Huawei Answers page that you’ll still be able to download and use Android Services and Google Apps like normal, even after you reset your phone. Plus, Huawei will still continue to roll out security updates for existing devices, so current users should be at ease.

As the legal battle between Huawei and the Trump Administration rage on, all we can look forward to know is the eventual introduction of Huawei’s proprietary operating system HongMeng OS; and see how well it does to replace Android.

DirectD teases the arrival of the Huwei Nova 4e in Malaysia

377

Popular retailers DirectD has done it again: they’ve recently hinted at the arrival of the Redmi Note 7 via a teaser poster; this time, they done exactly the same but with the unannounced Huawei Nova 4e.

Image credit: DirectD

Based on the release of the P20 Lite in Europe last year which was marketed as the Huawei Nova 3e here in Malaysia, we can assume that the Nova 4e will be the P30 Lite. Convoluting, we know.

The  post simply shows silhouettes of the phone’s form factor along with the copy “Coming Soon! Huawei Nova 4e” – pretty self explanatory. But to affirm the post, Huawei had also posted an eight-second video on Weibo that hint at the Nova 4e’s 32MP front camera.

Image credit: Huawei

According to Stuff, the phone will also come with a 6.15-inch Full HD+ display, a triple rear camera setup and 3,240mAh battery.

The complete P30 series of phones will be released by the end of this month in Paris, so there’s a chance that the Nova 4e could be released sooner.

Disappearing Messages feature now available on WhatsApp worldwide

4.3K

WhatsApp has just officially launched Disappearing Messages worldwide — a feature that lets you have more control over your privacy by choosing if you want your messages to get automatically deleted after a certain timeframe. A similar feature called
View Once
 was launched back in August but that only applied to photos and videos.

How to access Disappearing Messages in the app

To use it, head over to WhatsApp, then go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Default message timer, and then choose the duration that you want. Currently, the available options are: 24 Hours, 7 Days, 90 Days, and the option to disable it. The company does have plans on extending the duration to over 90 days so you can look forward to that.

How does it work?

After choosing your desired duration, the app will delete messages that you sent after the timeframe, so any messages sent previously will still be shown. You’ll also get to choose for which chats these are enabled, and users in the chat will get notified on whether it is turned on or off. While in group chats, you will have to get permission from the admin in order to use the feature.

However, it is important to note that with Disappearing Messages, people can still screenshot the conversation, and forwarded messages won’t be deleted, so we will have to see if WhatsApp will be adding more privacy features in the future.

Right now, the company is working on other features like
custom stickers
,
 reactions
, and
multi-device support
. It’ll be interesting to see what else WhatsApp has in store especially since they have opened beta for their new
WhatsApp desktop app
 on Windows.
