Digi PKB Free Smartphone

Let's have a look at the technical specification of the phone:

According to Digi website, the free phone should come with a free 2GB memory card as well. Also, the phone is originally SIM locked, which means you can only use it for Digi SIM card. However, you can call to Digi careline to manual unlock the phone.

In my opinion, this is really a very good deal. To buy the phone, you can refer to the Digi website on "Where to Buy".

Free iPhone for Signing Up Maxis

Recently there are many discussions about the new plan of Maxis that gives you free Apple iPhone 3GS.

P/S: the photo was made in Year 2010.

I took a quick look at the brochure. IPhone 3GS will be free of charge when you sign up RM50 monthly plan with 24 months contract.

I tried to find the plan on maxis website but it was removed. I heard that the response is overwhelming and iPhone 3GS units are currently out of stock. Maxis customer service said that there will be replenishment in the future and they are reviewing the plan for better package.
