DiGi is giving away an HTC Aria a day from now until 31st December 2010. To participate in the contest, you would either need to watch a YouTube of a day video from their mobile site or download Opera Mini which gives you an eligible entry. Obviously you won’t want to download Opera Mini daily and DiGi wants you to watch their select videos instead. To get started, SMS WEB to 2000 for the link to their mobile site. As consolation, every 50th participant will get Free 10 minutes of calls, 10 SMS and 10 MMS within DiGi network.
This contest is only eligible for Prepaid and Postpaid customers who are on Pay As You Go. Basically for those who are not on a monthly or weekly data plan which opens up a possibility of spending much more if you intend to go full on with this contest. For DiGi Prepaid, they have the MAX RM5/day limit for data while the newer Easy Prepaid users are capped at RM3/day. Postpaid users on PAYU will be costlier as there’s no daily limit and the only safety net is the RM149/month data cap.

DiGi now offers its Prepaid Internet starter pack in Micro SIM format via its online store. Couple of weeks back, DiGi announced the availability of Micro SIM as a replacement of existing sims. If you have the need for cheap internet on devices like the iPad 3G, this could be a worthy solution.
DiGi prepaid internet Micro SIM kit is sold at RM25 and it comes with 5 days preloaded internet usage worth RM10. On an average, it only costs RM2/day to get online but the minimum top up is RM10 or 5 days straight. Other denominations are RM30, RM50 and RM100 with 15, 25 and 50 days access respectively. However like any prepaid internet offering from DiGi, the max speed is capped at 384kbps. If you need anything faster, we suggest looking somewhere else.

DiGi has introduced new Easy Prepaid, a new prepaid plan that offers lower daily internet cap of RM3 and Free Calls & SMS to 3 numbers. It also gives you 10 Free SMS to any network for every RM10 top up made.
The maximum charge of RM3 per day for mobile internet is lower than usual RM5. However we suspect it is the same 384kbps which is too slow for tethering.
New Buddyz is similar to Friends and Family but instead you’ll get free calls and SMS to 3 DiGi numbers that you choose. Free calls however are limited to 60 hours per month. You’ll still get your normal Friends and Family but only 3 instead of the usual six.

Earlier this month, DiGi has introduced a bigger mobile internet package for its prepaid users called Internet Unlimited 15. What it offers is unlimited mobile internet for RM15/week with 250MB of data quota. This is perfect for those who think DiGi Prepaid max RM5/day for internet is too costly and would like to save more in the long run. For RM15 a week, that’s only a mere RM2.15/day which is pretty reasonable if you just need to stay connected with light usage. Since this is DiGi Prepaid, the download speed is only 384kbps with no options or package that offer anything faster.
Apart from the rates, you would need to take note on the data quota. Max RM5/day gives you 100MB daily while RM15/week gives you 250MB for the entire 7 days. Which plan that suits you depends on your data consumption. However it is good to know that DiGi does not charge extra if you exceed your usage as it will be throttled down to 128kbps download.
To subscribe, just call *116# to activate the service. The subscription is self renewing so you don’t have to reactivate again after 7 days. If you’re just needing it for a week, you will need to deactivate manually.

DiGi is throwing a promotion for its DiGi Prepaid broadband on its online store. They are bundling a DiGi Prepaid starter pack and a Huawei E1550 USB Modem for RM169. The modem comes with 18 months warranty.
For the first 100 people who order online via Paypal, DiGi is giving additional RM70 rebate which is refunded back to your paypal account. This makes the bundle worth RM99 which is quite a steal. The refund will take about a month for them to process.
On the prepaid internet plan, the starter kit worth RM25 comes with 5 days of usage worth RM10. This prepaid internet plan is one of the cheapest at RM2/day but it requires a minimum of RM10 top up. This means you would need to use it for 5 days straight.
The biggest problem for this plan is the speed which is limited at 384kbps download and 128kbps upload. There is no daily data quota mentioned but on its FAQ the Fair Use Policy is fixed at 3GB a month which is rather odd. DiGi should have tied the data quota based on the top up duration/denomination.
This is a tough one to recommend as 384kbps is rather slow for broadband use. It doesn’t even go well with its Turbo3G claim since it is no faster than standard 3G speeds. Perhaps DiGi should offer more flexible options such as U Mobile that offers various speed and data quota.
