The telco price war is now moving towards prepaid. The latest response is from Digi which now offers free weekend data on Smart Prepaid. This is very similar to Hotlink’s Free Weekends for Life offer that was announced about two weeks ago.
Digi promises free 8GB/month data for life which is given as a 2GB data for each weekend. While Maxis is offering 1GB for each Saturday and Sunday, Digi is more flexible by giving you 2GB data that’s valid between 12:00AM on Saturday until 11:59PM on Sunday. That means you can utilise your free 2GB data fully on a single Saturday. To redeem this offer, just dial *888*6# and you’ll get 2GB free data every weekend.
Just like Hotlink, the free weekend data is only applicable in 4G LTE areas. If you’re out of 4G, it will utilise your existing data plan or you can continue surfing with basic internet at a throttled 64kbps speeds. In terms of data plans, Digi is offering up to 50% more data along with unlimited off-peak usage (capped at 35GB) for its higher data options. RM30/month gets you 2.25GB of data while RM48/month gives you 4.5GB excluding the bonus packs of your choice.
The Digi Smart Prepaid starter pack costs RM10 including GST and it comes loaded with RM7 credit that’s valid for 7 days. Calls are charged at 30sen/minute while SMS are charged as 12 sen each. On top of that, they are offering free unlimited calls and SMS up to 3 of your favourite Buddyz.
