Lower Monthy Mobile Internet Plan By Maxis – The reason I went to DiGi last time is because DiGi has cheaper data plan at RM68/month for 3GB data. Now I can consider switching back to Maxis because their 3GB data plan has reduced price from RM88 to RM68. Maxis has just revised their Mobile Internet Package, all at a lower rate.

Good news for Maxis user, however you will still get extra charges when you excess your allowed quota at RM0.30/MB compare to previously RM10/MB, which is a lot cheaper now. Somehow, I think Maxis should cap speed instead of charging extra for excess usage. Anyway, considering Maxis has a wide 3G coverage, the revised Mobile Internet Plan is worthwhile.

Head over to Maxis website to check out more about it.

I signed up for Maxis Mobile Internet 500MB data plan for RM58 per month, but after a month of usage, I can hardly reach the 500MB limit usage. I turned on push email, push Twitter via Tweets60, sent a lot of picture email to awayfromcomputer.com, chat on Nimbuzz and surf the net, but the total usage was only around 240MB.

So guess, I’ll do YouTube surfing too to fully utilize my data plan. =D

DiGi offers a RM48 unlimited data plan which I think is better than other because it’s unlimited, somehow cheapest of all. Too bad, I am a Maxis postpaid user, I can’t change to DiGi, it’s a company line.

Maxis just set up a 3G Internet Experience Lounge in New World Park, Penang. This is to promote mobile Internet to locals. However, I believe not much local aware about mobile Internet, only some tech savvy person like me does.

I wonder who do really Twitter on the go or read some news on the go. Mostly, they got a Blackberry, they don’t need m.gmail.com anymore. Malaysians are more onto Plurk then Twitter, so again, not much will go to m.twitter.com.

The only site they surf on the mobile I believe is Facebook and Friendster. Though this 2 sites, I have never went in before on the phone.

Personally thinking, the only way to promote mobile Internet is lowering the unlimited mobile data plan first, currenly the cheapest offer is from Digi and Celcom. Though Digi has only Edge network. If data plan is cheap, I’m sure I’ll be the first one signing up for it.
