As most everyone’s lives become ever more tethered to their devices, accessing the world via their mobile screens has quickly gone from a luxury to a necessity, ranking almost as high as oxygen and water for some, on their ‘needs’ versus ‘wants’ chart.
The presence of “phone bill” on most budgets has shifted from landlines to mobile devices as among a person’s primary expenses. But unlike your water and electricity bills which are based mainly on usage, internet and mobile phone bills are uniquely more correlated to the constant advances in technology.
As newer and better networks are deployed, newer plans are becoming cheaper while offering increasingly better value.
One of the least known, but easiest and most often overlooked ways of saving money is simply by reviewing internet and mobile phone plans every six to 12 months.
And if you’re really keen on cutting costs even further, bundling your home internet with your mobile phone services under one plan will save you even more money, with multiple options available for every budget.
So, if you haven’t looked at your internet and mobile plans recently, you are likely paying more than you should. Even a RM40 savings monthly adds up to almost RM500 every single year.
For households with two or more mobile phone users, your combined savings could easily add up to a free annual vacation!
For comparison, here’s a quick look at the new Digi Postpaid Family Unlimited plan.
A typical family of three would share the cost of RM200/month and receive:
- unlimited calling to all networks
- unlimited high-speed internet
- 1GB of Hotspot Data
- 300 SMS for each line (1,000 SMS for the primary line)
For larger families, add up to four more family members (seven members maximum), for only RM45/month per person. That works out to an average of only RM55-67/month per user. Use this simple calculator tool to see how your family could save.
Plus, with unlimited internet and unlimited calling, the chances of a “surprise bill” from going over a limit are completely eliminated, for a stress-free and budget-friendly experience.
Although it’s common for new plans and bonuses to only be available for new subscribers, existing Digi customers will be happy to know that the new Postpaid Family Unlimited plan is available to them as well.
And if you happen to already have or want to add Digi Fibre Unlimited high-speed internet at home, with popular plans like 300Mbps Digi Fibre for only RM100/month, you’ll get an additional RM180-RM360 in rebates annually for up to two years.
Although the Digi Unlimited Family plan does not require a contract, if you choose a term contract, you’ll also enjoy added bonuses with the choice of either RM10/month off YouTube Premium or RM10/month off Spotify Premium for 12 months, saving an extra RM120.
If neither YouTube nor Spotify tickle your fancy, with the borders reopening, frequent travellers can stay connected by opting for the Roam Like Home add-on instead, at no extra charge for 12 months, saving even more while they’re away on worry-free trips.
And to sweeten an already amazing deal, for a limited time between June 1–July 31, new signups will also receive a Samsung Galaxy A7 worth RM699 and a free lifetime hotspot data upgrade from 1GB to 5GB monthly.
Take two minutes to quickly look over your family’s monthly internet and mobile phone bills and compare. Your next family vacation could pay for itself with just a few minor tweaks and changes.
