Digi has revised its DG Smart Plan offering which now consists of DG Smart Plan 48, 68 and 88. This replaces DG Smart Plan lite which offered a pathetic 300MB data at RM33/month. With the new DG Smart Plan 48, you’ll get a decent 1GB data at only RM48/month, which is whole lot more for just RM15 extra.

Some their devices are also offered on Smart Plan 48 which includes Samsung Galaxy S II that’s offered at RM1,699 for 12 months contract or RM1,549 for 24 months contract with Smart Plan 48. This is a good move to offer phones with lower commitment contracts, which Maxis has started recently with Maxis Value First bundling.

The ever popular Smart Plan 68 remains unchanged and finally the Smart Plan 88 has been revealed on their site which now offers additional 50 minutes of call and 50 SMS within DiGi network every month. Call rates are the same for all 3 plans at 15sen/min for calls and 10 sen/SMS to all network. If your month bills reach a certain amount, there’s tiered discounts on your monthly commitments too. BIS services are an extra option at RM10/month while BES is at RM20/month. As usual, there’s a RM5/month rebate if you opt for auto-billing.

All 3 DG Smart Plans offer unlimited internet access where you won’t get charged extra for exceeding your usage but your speeds will be throttled. Here’s the interesting part, while DG Smart Plan 68 and 88 are throttled to 128kbps after exceeding, the lowest DG Smart Plan 48 will be throttled to a pityful 5kbps!

No doubt the Smart Plan 48 is a much more reasonable plan for low usage users with a decent amount of data. However we are still unconvinced with DiGi’s issues with their mobile data coverage and performance. When DiGi launched their 3G service, they promised consistency which offered an average of 700kbps at all times. Today we can’t say the same anymore and they seriously need to buck up and fix their network.

DiGi is doing a special promo on its DG Smart Plan with selected smart phones which they claim to be the world’s best. For this promo, your first 6 months subscription can be as low as RM23/month which is inclusive of the RM5 rebate if you sign up for the auto-billing.

Basically what you’ll get is RM40 rebate for the first 6 months of your subscription if you sign up for DG Smart Plan tied with a 24 months contract. This offer however is only applicable to HTC 7 Mozart, BlackBerry Bold 9780, BlackBerry Torch 9800 and HTC Desire HD.

After the 6 months, you will be charged RM63/month. The additional discounted rebates according to the T&C still apply. THis means if you plan to get 100% discount, you only need to spend RM22 on your voice calls, instead of the usual RM62.

Earlier on, DiGi made a little boo boo on their website when a contest T&C appeared on their CNY Prepaid promo. The T&C revealed a 888th caller contest of the hour where the 888th caller of each hour during 1st and 2nd day of Chinese New Year will stand a chance to win RM888 talktime for prepaid or 8888 Bonuslink points for postpaid.

A couple of hours later, the said T&C was replaced with the correct one. Initially we thought this was a CNY easter egg but @digi_telco was rather silent about our discovery. Now DiGi has finally revealed the contest just couple of days before CNY. So far the terms look the same as before.

UPDATE: DiGi has updated the T&C. Not sure if the 888th caller contest is still on at this point. Considering they had a complete T&C, they might just announce it later.

We’re not sure if this is a deliberate easter egg or a botched up T&C but we got tipped that DiGi is doing a CNY 888th Caller Contest that’s open to all DiGi Postpaid and Prepaid subscribers. This was revealed upon clicking on the T&C link on the DiGi Prepaid CNY Promo page. The contest starts at 12AM on 3rd February until 11.59PM on 4th February.

To join, just make the 888th call of the hour to be shortlisted for the contest. DiGi will contact the respective shortlisted subscribers from 7th – 11th February to answer a simple question. There will be a maximum of 3 call attempts so make sure you answer them and not think its a prank like the iTunes lady. If the 888th caller is disqualified, the 889th caller will be the next subsitute.

So what prizes are they giving? Since it runs for 2 days, there are a total of 48 prepaid and 48 postpaid prizes to be won. For Prepaid, they will get RM888 worth of talktime while postpaid users get 8888 bonus link points. As expected the prizes will be distributed across a period of 8 months starting from March if you win.

So looks like DiGi does have something interesting up their sleeves this CNY. Thanks to the commenter “digi” for tipping us in the DiGi Prepaid CNY Promo post!

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.

UPDATED: Added DiGi BlackBerry Prepaid activation shortcodes from DiGi’s promo page.

DiGi has introduced a new microsite dedicated for their current BlackBerry plans. The WhatBerry site has a little Facebook integrated app which tells you what type of BlackBerry user you are.

From the plans shown on the site, DiGi offers the usual DG Smart Plan for RM68/month which now charges additional RM10/month extra for BIS service. Now there’s a new Smart Plan LITE RM33/month plan which is cheaper but offers a rather little 300MB/month.

For prepaid, there’s the usual RM2/day Unlimited prepaid Blackberry plan but now there are other smaller packages to suit specific needs. For those who specifically use BlackBerry for IM and Social Networking, there’s the Prepaid Social Network + IM RM1/day package which gives you unlimited BBM as well as access to facebook/twitter. If social networking is not your thing, there’s also a Prepaid Email + IM RM1/day package too. If neither suits you and all you need is the barebones BBM service, there’s the 50sen/day Prepaid BBM only package just like what’s being offered by Xpax.

For more information on DiGi’s BlackBerry offer, head to http://whatberry.com.my. You can also check out our previous posts on Prepaid Blackberry plans.

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 is doing another Hari Raya campaign and this time DiGi Postpaid users get 15% off for DiGi-DiGi calls made during 10th and 11th September from 9PM to 9AM. For prepaid users, there was a Extra Talk Time Raya offer for those who top up on 6-7 September.

DiGi also wants to do a bit of charity this Raya. Users are asked to send RAYA to 36365 to get a list of charity bodies that you can contribute. You’ll be sent a link to view the list which subjects to data cost. Are you able to contribute directly from your mobile? The answer is NO.

We say this is pointless “charity” drive. The only one benefiting is DiGi, which will earn from data charge and SMS sent. Save your money and view the link directly here. Such info can be made available on their website and its pointless if you ask us.

If DiGi was serious about charity, they should have pledged a portion of calls made during Raya or a portion of top up which was done recently by TuneTalk.

We found out that DiGi has just revised their DG50 postpaid plan which strives to give more value to its subscribers. When we look at it, it doesn’t look much different from the original DG50 launched nearly 2 years ago. The rates are still the same and even the billing block cycle is still 30 seconds.

Postpaid rates has been pretty stagnant lately and old fashion price war is not heading anywhere. So what’s new with DiGi postpaid? If they can’t cut the rates, they give further discounts depending on your total bill spend.

So does this translate to big savings? Well, Yes and No.
