U Mobile had kicked off the new year with their latest slogan “Simply Different”. Now they are doing a special promo where you can get a Nokia E5 or Nokia 7230 absolutely free only at selected U Mobile Service Centres at Berjaya Times Square, 1 Utama, AEON AU2, Sunway Pyramid and BBT One Bukit Tinggi.

Having to see U Mobile giving free phones now is something different, but there are some similarities in the way the phones are being bundled. Firstly the offer is primarily tied to a UB68 Data Rate Plan which gives you unlimited data access (5GB FUP) with bolt-on U Mobile Pay as you use Voice Plan. Now doesn’t that remind you of DiGi’s Smart Plan? Let’s take a closer look at U Mobile’s UB68 + PAYU rate offer.

In the same festive tradition by DiGi, they are doing another round of special promo for both prepaid and postpaid subscribers this Christmas. For prepaid customers, they are giving RM2 extra talktime for Free when you use more than RM10 worth of talktime. This runs for 3 days only from 21-23 December and it is not only for normal DiGi prepaid subscribers. However don’t expect your credit to come in immediately as payout only happens 28th-30th December with a maximum of RM2 per number. This is quite a disappointment compared to its previous offers for Hari Raya and Deepavali.

For postpaid, they are offering 30% rebate for DiGi to DiGi calls made from 9AM-9PM on Christmas day. The only condition is that you’ll need to activate on or before Christmas Eve (24th December) by SMS XMAS to 22288. The 30% rebate will only be reflected in your next bill. You can start opting in by SMS starting from tomorrow morning.

UPDATE: Happy Prepaid under DiGi also offers RM2/day deal but for unlimited Internet only.

DiGi Prepaid is offering a special deal where you can either get cheap calls and SMS or unlimited internet for only RM2/day. This runs from 1st December 2010 until 31st January 2011. There are four RM2 daily deals on offer which can be activated with the respective codes below.

The first promotional deal is 20 minutes of voice calls and 20 SMS within DiGi’s network for RM2/day while the second deal offers half rate for calls made within DiGi’s network from midnight until noon daily. For those who need internet on the go, there’s Internet Unlimited 2 which offers unlimited data for a mere RM2/day, which is cheaper than DiGi Easy Prepaid‘s RM3/day and the normal Max RM5/day rate. For BlackBerry users, there’s also the BlackBerry Unlimited 2 deal at RM2/day. There’s no mention on the download speeds but we believe it is likely limited at 384kbps like the rest of its prepaid offering.

The RM2 daily pass is a auto-subscription method, which automatically renews itself the following day. This lets you enjoy the RM2 offer seamlessly without renewing daily however you would need to terminate manually if you wish to stop. To stop any of the deals, dial *133#. Do take note that the RM2/day deal is valid for all DiGi Prepaid customers except for Prepaid Plus and DiGi Easy Prepaid. According to the FAQ, it is mentioned that if you have any free calls and SMS earned previously, you have to use them first as the RM2 pass will forfeit any outstanding freebies collected previously.

More details at DiGi RM2/day pass page and don’t forget to read the FAQ.

Happy Prepaid also offers similar RM2/day deals but only for unlimited internet usage. It was also stated that the fair use policy is limited to 100MB but no details were given on throttle or excess charge if you exceed this limit. More details at Happy’s happy deals page.
