After more than 10 years of being a loyal Celcom customer, I finally decided to turn my back to it. To be honest, I think Celcom is one of the strong telcos in Malaysia. I have never tried any other Telcos anyway.
Cute little simcard |
But after paying almost RM110 per month (actually RM98 + tax) for my First Gold Plus plan, I realised there are few other choices out there that offer almost similar plan with cheaper price T_T.
- 20GB free weekend Internet (5GB every Saturday & Sunday)
- 20GB weekday Internet
- 100GB free Super VideoWalla for 12months
- unlimited calls to all networks
- unlimited social apps
- ** unlimited Hotspot within those 40GBs
Sounds okay.
But look at this one!
UNIFI MOBILE™ PEK JASA - (RM 59/month)
- unlimited data
- unlimited calls to all networks
- unlimited SMS to all networks
- no contract
- 10GB Hotspot
I have surveyed for Maxis, Digi, U-Mobile too, but none of them are interesting as how I am attracted to Unifi -_-' Maybe due to the reason that lots of my colleagues in ED use Unifi, most of them have given generally nice feedback.
It was a hard decision to make and I hope I don't regret it.
So, good bye Celcom!
2007-2020
On 10th February 2020, I finally decided to proceed with the plan :) I went to the nearest TM point and inform the officer about what I want. Alhamdulillah the process was smooth, with the help of the officer. If you want to apply the same Pek Jasa as I am, don't forget to bring your working ID as well ya.
It is still early to give thorough feedback on this new data plan, but generally for the past 1 month:
- I have no problem assessing the Internet (on Unifi) as the data is unlimited. When I was using Celcom previously, it was really hard when the month approached the few last days. My job requires me to be on Mobile Data for 24/7, there are lots of PDFs to be downloaded, not to forget lots of movies/dramas to be watched on off days.
- Unifi coverage is not that broad compared to Celcom. There was one time I went to Sendayan for a Paediatric course and it was really hard to even get 1 bar! I don't know why but seems that friends using other Telcos have no problem with their coverage. Ehemm... but no problem so far in Manjung.
- I can feel the difference of paying the bill! RM59 vs RM 98.
I just knew that Unifi gives free LTE hotspot for 999GB till 1/4/2020. Alhamdulillah, I can use mobile hotspot to connect to my laptop :D |
The charges breakdown. |
I am currently on Day 2 of staying at home due to some reasons that (maybe) I will share later. Please pray for me and my ED team :)
