Happy updates to capture more smiles

6 months ago, Happy had stopped its happy rates when they remove the 45 minutes for only 99sen offer. It had made a lot of frown faces and the Happy trail somehow was beginning to trickle down.

Recently they had revised their plans and hopefully this would put more smiles on faces. Until 31st July 2009, they are offering a Happy Hour promotion of 33 sen for 45 minutes of calls made to both Happy and DiGi numbers from 9am-5pm.

For normal calls to all networks, calls are charged at 33 sen/minute and calls from the 3rd-15th minute are free.

As seen from the image at the top, it looks as if DiGi is trying to tease their new upcoming MVNO rival in terms of colour and slogan of  ”Everybody Can Talk“. Read the rest of this entry »

Maxis adds more iData plans for iPhone, iPhone 3G S coming this month?

Maxis has add more variety for the iData plans which can be added on to your existing Value Plus plans.

When firstly introduced, it came only with a single RM99 plan for 3GB of data. If 3GB is too much, they also offer 2 smaller monthly data plans of  RM30 for 250MB and RM50 for 500MB.

Of course, the price of the iPhone 3G would be less subsidised for the smaller “byte” packages.

iPhone 3G S coming to Malaysia?

Another hot news is that new iPhone 3G S is coming to Malaysia by Maxis as highlighted here and here. The rumoured date of launch is 19th July 2009. Some questions come to mind if this does launch in the weeks to come:

• Will Maxis maintain the same price for the new iPhone 3G S?
• Is there an upgrade plan for those who purchased iPhone 3G from Maxis?
• What happens to existing stock of iPhone 3G?

Nothing is confirmed but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a better deal to come.

P1 WiMAX available at Pahang, Perak & Terengganu, now eyes East Malaysia

P1 W1MAX, one of the key 4 WiMAX operator has started operations in Pahang, Perak & Terengganu recently which brings its coverage up to a total of  8 states (Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Kedah, Penang, Pahang, Perak & Terengganu). This is quite an achievement for a company that is barely a year in operations. It is also expected that P1 will achieve to cover 35% of the population by end of this year.

While P1 has been busy in West Malaysia, it also has shown interested in venturing to East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak.  However this optimistic move would require consent from MCMC as Redtone is the sole WiMAX operator in Sabah/Sarawak at the moment. We foresee if Redtone isn’t able to meet coverage expectations, MCMC would be forced to open up East Malaysia to other WiMAX operators to get the job done.

Hopefully with P1 knocking on MCMC’s door to enter Sabah/Sarawak, Redtone would be pressured to speed up desired coverage.
