Prepaid Plan
On Digi Prepaid, you can redeem RM15 of credit for 12 months. In addition, Digi is also throwing in 2GB of data per day which you’ll have to redeem from the MyDigi app and it’s valid for 1 hour.
With the subsidy, you can get 15GB of data for RM15, 30GB of data with unlimited calls for RM20 or 40GB of data with unlimited calls for RM30. According to Digi, the RM180 subsidy (RM15 x 12 months) can be utilised on any prepaid plan that costs RM30 and above.
Prepaid Phone Bundle
If you need a new phone, the Digi Prihatin 35 Prepaid Bundle lets you get a free Samsung Galaxy A02 along with 30GB of data for 3 months plus 2GB daily data (valid for 1 hour) for RM100. This package will utilise the RM300 subsidy and it is only applicable for individuals or households with children aged below 18 years old.
