Looking for the ultimate plan from Celcom? The new FIRST by Platinum offers more internet and additional privileges compared to its current FIRST Gold plan. At RM150/month, it comes with a whopping 18GB of data along with unlimited voice calls and SMS. The Platinum plan matches its earlier appearance and this is Celcom’s most premium offering at the moment
Similar to its current FIRST Blue and FIRST Gold, the 18GB mobile data quota is split between 2 segments. It gets 9GB that you can use all the time and another 9GB that’s reserved specifically for the weekends. That means you get to enjoy 2.25GB of dedicated data quota each weekend. In addition, they are giving 9GB of complimentary WiFiPlus, which is useful if you can find one in the first place. If you can’t finish your mobile data, you get to carry forward up to 9GB (from 9GB all day quota) to the following month.
In case 18GB isn’t enough, you can Max Up 1GB at RM20. If you do spend RM225 and above, Celcom will grant you 1GB of extra data and 2GB if you spend RM500 and above. Note that roaming charges don’t count for this usage accumulation. Since domestic calls and SMS are already unlimited, the only possible way is probably through making more IDD calls.
As a FIRST Platinum member, Celcom is also offering free 1-year iflix and 1 year of Zip-it-chat service, along with unlimited access to Yonder Music.
Perhaps the biggest highlight is the exclusive access to Malaysia Airlines’ Golden Lounge where you can dine and relax before departing from KLIA. Once you’ve subscribed to FIRST Platinum, you can redeem your access here. You would need to redeem the Golden Lounge voucher, which is valid for 7 days for 1 person, to enjoy all complimentary facilities in the Business Class section of the Golden Lounge at KLIA. According to the FAQ, every Platinum customer gets to enjoy 1 access and it is available on a first come first serve basis (First 1,000).
For international travelers, Celcom’s Wonderoam offers a worry free experience with a RM38 daily plan for data only and a RM138 weekly plan that comes with 3GB data, unlimited calls and SMS. On Celcom, they boast 165 supported countries (for daily plan) with access to 2 partner telcos for greater accessibility. To prevent crazy expensive data roaming charges, your mobile data will be disabled if your phone connects to the wrong telco partner overseas.
