P1 Wimax, Yes 4G & DiGi 4G LTE

P1 Wimax baru menambah pencawang yang terbaru di Kampung Ulu Pauh (dalam kawasan berdekatan Politeknik Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin & Unimap) & Taman Medan Sepakat (berdekatan Titi Chai).

Perkhabaran terbaru yang saya dapat ialah rangkaian 4G kedua iaitu Yes 4G sudah ada di Perlis anda boleh ke laman webnya untuk tinjau adakah rumah anda ada dalam liputan.

Berita terbaik setakat ini yang saya dengar ialah naiktaraf sistem yang dibuat oleh DiGi Telecommunication untuk menggunakan sistem 4G terbaru, terstabil & terpantas, LTE (Long Term Evolution). Berita dari laman web DiGi, mereka sedang giat menaiktaraf sistem di Lembah Klang & Shah Alam setiap hari. Mereka cuba untuk mencapai sasaran 400 pencawang setiap bulan. Jadi, rasanya dalam hujung tahun 95% Semanjung Malaysia akan diliputi rangkaian DiGi 4G LTE.

Untuk pengetahuan anda, di Amerika sekarang pun, operator talian mudahalih sedang giat upgrade ke LTE. Dari apa yang saya sedang selidik, smartphone LTE yang dikeluarkan di sana dah boleh pakai kat sini. Huh... cuba anda tengok website operator disana, banyak model-model yang sangat menarik di sana. Hmmmmm.... boleh la kalau ada sedara-sedara kat sana, kirim balik set dari sana. Nanti LTE dah start, dah ada phone yang boleh pakai.

Maxis Lancar iPhone 4, DiGi akan datang

Saat yang dinanti-nantikan oleh die-hard iPhone (termasuk saya), Maxis hari ini mengumumkan perlancaran iPhone 4 di Malaysia. iPhone 4 akan mula berada dipasaran pada 26 September 2010 di Lembah Klang dan akan berada diseluruh negara pada 27 September 2010. (Yang tak bestnya, kami bukan salah satu kedai yang terpilih)

Agak excited saya bila dapat tahu dah umum perlancaran iPhone 4 ini. Satu sebab nak tahu berapakah harganya yang sebenar sebab ada pembekal meletak harga RM3xxx.xx bila saya check harga dengan mereka. So, sekarang kira dah terjawab sikit tentang harga. Lagi satu, iPhone 4 adalah pelengkap bagi iPhone sebelum ini, dah ada video call, kamera 5 megapix, rakaman video HD dan skrin yang didakwa Apple sebagai skrin paling hebat bagi mana-mana telefon pintar (iPhone 4 ni dah priority no 1 dalam wishlist saya, hehehehe). Software pun dah upgrade, lebih stabil dan menyakinkan. Klik disini untuk melihat spesifikasi iPhone 4.

Saya mula mengikuti perkembangan iPhone 4 sejak ia dilancarkan di US. Dimana pada awalnya, iPhone ini ada mempunyai masalah 'network', dimana jika ia dipegang pada sudut tertentu, signal akan drop dan panggilan terputus. Apple menarik balik hampir 3 juta telefon ini dari pasaran. Dan harap-harap sekarang dah ok.Maxis menawarkan beberapa pilihan untuk anda memiliki iPhone 4 ini. dengan minima RM100 sebulan dan pada harga RM1,990.00 untuk kontrak 12 bulan. Klik di sini untuk melihat pelan-pelan yang disediakan oleh maxis (rate plans) untuk anda.Selain Maxis, Digi juga ada menawarkan iPhone 4 ini, tetapi pihak Digi masih belum mengesahkan tarikh pelancarannya. DiGi mempunyai kadar yang kompetitif untuk iPhone, serendah RM60 sebulan bagi pakej iPhone 3Gs. Klik sini untuk melihat pelan iDiGi. So, kalau rasa was-was lagi tunggulah DiGi umum pelannya dulu, baru decide dari mana nak pilih.
Kawan saya beritahu kat Perancis (dia tinggal sana, baru balik raya hari tu), iPhone 3Gs dah tinggal Euro 99.00 saja lepas iPhone 4 dilancarkan.

DiGi fights back, DiGi Prepaid I Like

DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of cellular operator Digi.com, aims to strengthen its prepaid market share with the newly launched DiGi Prepaid I Like scheme.

The product allows subscribers to choose one value option and the choice to switch to another one not more than once a month at no cost, said chief commercial officer Tom Schnitker.

“The three options available — Super SMS, Super Friends and Family (Super FnF) and Super Talk — will offer subscribers the flexibility to choose based on their usage pattern,” he said at the launch of DiGi Prepaid I Like yesterday.

The plan offers a flat rate of 36 sen per minute for voice calls and 10 send per SMS to any network anywhere.

In addition, subscribers can opt for DiGi’s Super Long Life feature to extend the validity of the plan for one year at RM30.

The DiGi Prepaid I Like starter pack is currently selling at a promotional price of RM8.50 till December. It will be selling at RM13.90 post-promotional period.

“The higher-than-normal prepaid starter pack rate is one of DiGi’s strategy to lower the churn rates,” said Schnitker, referring to the volume of sale of starter packs.

“We are trying to stop the momentum of rotation churn rates with this new starter pack pricing,” he added.

On Malaysia’s high mobile penetration of more than 80%, Schnitker said DiGi had started to think on a more “segmental level” to penetrate into different segments.

As at second quarter this year, DiGi’s customer base totalled 6.6 million, of which 80% are from the prepaid segment.

Its market share in the prepaid segment, in terms of revenue, is 32%.

DiGi Prepaid I Like also available at all of Utara Hati outlet.

Mobile Number Portability In Malaysia

Thursday August 28, 2008 MYT 7:50:48 PM (Article taken from The Star newspaper)
Mobile number portability to start Friday
PUTRAJAYA: Mobile phone users can now enjoy the freedom of switching network service providers without having to forego their original phone number (including the prefix).
Effective Friday, the service will be extended to users with prepaid mobile phone numbers in the Klang Valley. Postpaid users can start enjoying the facility in two weeks.
In a statement, Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor said the service, known as Mobile Number Portability (MNP), would take away the inconvenience associated with switching service providers and consumers' concern over losing their contacts when doing so.
"Service providers are allowed to charge up to RM25 each time a subscriber changes their mobile phone service provider. This will give the users choice and freedom to choose their service providers without the inconvenience of having to change their numbers.
"The nationwide launch for the MNP will be in October," Shaziman said.
Shaziman said the MNP is about improved service quality, better packages, better customer service and giving consumers choice. He added that initially only individual account holders would be able to change their service providers while business accounts could do so after the nationwide launch.
He said that until the nationwide launch, each service provider would only be able to accept 100 requests per day, adding that prepaid users are advised to finish their credit balance before changing the service provider as any remaining credit would not be refunded.
"Mobile phone users are advised not to rush into porting but should first study the various packages being offered before choosing the new service provider of their choice," he said.
Mobile phone users can refer to the frequently-asked-questions on MNP at the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission website at http://www.skmm.gov.my/ and all of the mobile operator's websites to find out more about the service.
