Postpaid Plan Comparison between Celcom,Maxis,Digi & U-Mobile

Cheapest Postpaid Plan Comparison between Celcom, Digi, Maxis & U-Mobile

Looking for the lowest commitment fee of Postpaid Plan? The lowest monthly commitment fee offered by a telecommunication company doesn’t mean the package is offering you the cheapest calling or SMS rates. Have you done any comparison between all the postpaid plans available in the market to find out which plan benefit you the most?

Comparison - Budget RM38 for Phone Bill

To have a better picture in your minds on the comparison of all the packages, I have assumed that a user is allocating a budget of RM38 for his/her monthly phone bill. The lowest package we have from U Mobile is RM38 for the U38 Plan. Therefore we will allocate budget of RM38 mobile phone usage as a benchmark for comparison purpose. This is to ensure the calculation comparison is on apple compare to apple basics.

What you get from Celcom with Budget of RM38?

• Either 90 minutes of voice calls to same/other operators, OR
• 180 SMS to same/other operators

Reason to Subscribe Celcom Exec 20:
This plan is most suitable for users who are only allocated with minimum budget for the monthly phone bill and/or less frequent mobile phone usage. Celcom Exec offers you the lowest postpaid plan in Malaysia with commitment fee as low as RM20 per month.

What you get from Digi with Budget of RM38?

• Either 90 minutes of voice calls to same/other operators, OR
• 120 SMS to same/other operators

Reason to Subscribe Digi DG 20:
Digi DG 20 is a similar product as Celcom Exec 20. Both are charging same access fee as RM20. But if you are comparing between Celcome Exec 20 and Digi DG 20, unless majority of your friends and family are using Digi network, else I believe you are smart enough to do the right decision for yourself.

What you get from Maxis with Budget of RM38?

• Either 75 minutes of voice calls to other operators plus 100 minutes with Extra Ten package (Maxis-to-Maxis), OR
• 150 SMS to same/other operators plus 500 SMS with Extra SMS package

Reason to Subscribe Maxis Value First:
Fortunately, Maxis Value First attached with 3 optional Value Extras mini packages. Else, the original plan of Value First itself alone will not be attractive at all. If any of the add-on Value Extras packages benefits you, then you might consider subscribing Maxis Value First.
