Maxis vs Digi (iPhone 4)

Maxis vs Digi

Which to choose?

haha.

i know,

the price has been released like 2 days ago (close to).

and most techie blog would have done the comparison already.

read them before i blogged.

i have a slightly different idea.

so read on :P

The tables below are based on:

Maxis iValue 1 and iDigi 88

also note that:

1. Maxis has extra 133 mins of voice calls

2. Maxis has no free sms to other operators

hence the less and the add :)

3. Digi is only RM58/mth if you do auto billing, otherwise it's RM63/mth

Conclusion (based on stats):

Maxis won by RM115 for 12 months

Digi won by RM159 for 24 months

My Analysis:

I go for Maxis because:

1. Maxis has a wider 3G coverage, better signal and all

2. I'm not forced to get tied for 2 years!

however,

Which to choose depends a lot on what your usage is and where you stay.

Digi has limited 3G coverage,

if you go to an ulu-er (rural) area,

no 3G coverage.

hence slow internet.

Digi ties you for 2 years!

after 1 year, another iPhone launch, chances are there's going to be even better rates,

but you'll be stucked with your old plan.

Maxis 200 sms and 20 mms is only Maxis to Maxis

if you send to other operators you'll be charged at RM0.10/sms

on top of RM100!!

whereas Digi is to all operators.

Maxis charges you RM0.05 per 10kb data

if you exceed your 1gb data.

whereas Digi do not charge you extra after you've exceeded the limit!

hence,

no shocking bills.

(however, with 1gb data, you can it's enough for users at this range.

as in, if you are the kind of person who uses A LOT of data,

you've got to be at the business people range at higher value plans.

well, normally)

Don't just look at the price,

think about your usage and needs.

for me.

i chose Maxis.

90% of the friends i sms are Maxis users.

i'm going for the 12mths plan which is cheaper.

i don't see myself using more than 1gb data.

choose wisely :)

ttfn.
