The mobile telco market is saturated. By some estimates, there are over 18 million mobile users in Malaysia right now. That’s over 50% of the country’s population. However, when it comes to choosing a telco, we’re spoiled for choice.
At last count, there are at least five full-fledged telcos (Maxis, Celcom, Digi, U Mobile, Unifi Mobile) you can choose from and many smaller ones like Tune Talk and Yes 4G as well as MVNOs or sub-brands like Yoodo, Ookyo and XoX.
But even with so much choice, there’s very little in terms of innovation or variety. We’ve come to a point where everything is the same. Telcos offer you a lot of data at a price and you look for the best deal.
Usually, it’s telcos that tell you what you should have in a plan. X-amount of data, X-amount of calls, when you can use it and how you can use it. We, the customers, accept this because the industry is doing it…but should it be the norm? It’s time to rethink at what your telco is offering you and ask, is this the best that you can get?
There’s a glut of mobile data in the market but what is it worth to you?
Truth be told, data is cheap. It costs very little for operators to serve you mobile data, the real cost is in running a mobile business, the marketing, the advertising, the manpower but this cost is not a direct relation to how much you’re paying for mobile data currently.
Granted, the cost of mobile data has gone down tremendously but the worth of a mobile plan should not be based on how much data, calls and text messages you get.
Surely there’s more to a mobile plan than just that, right?
Who’s to say a mobile operator can’t offer more than just data, calls and texts?
Technically no one. A telco should offer you more than just data, calls and texts, and most importantly there should be flexibility.
Close to 80% of the over 18 million mobile users in Malaysia are on pre-paid. That goes to show that a majority of mobile users prefer flexibility and options. The flexibility to switch operators or to customise their data, calls and texts based on the amount that they actually use. But beyond this, users are looking for a plan that rewards them for staying on.
Affordable, customisable, flexible
One such plan is Celcom Xpax’s all-new XP Lite. It’s a plan that offers more than just data, calls and texts but also flexibility and rewards.
