Introducing new postpaid plans supporting digital services for a richer mobile experience

SHAH ALAM, 4 March 2013 - In conjunction with its Internet For All ambition, DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd ("DiGi") has enjoyed a strong take-up rate of DG SmartPlans and bundled smart devices in 2012 due to high demand for a better mobile Internet experience. To enable a richer mobile experience with relevant services that are desired by customers, DiGi is working with global Internet players like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Opera Software to create new DG SmartPlans with a better Internet experience offered at best value.

Effective today, customers, who sign up for a DG SmartPlan from as low as RM58 per month, will enjoy a richer mobile experience. They would be able to share and connect with loved ones and their communities on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp with a higher Internet quota up to 4GB as well as unlimited surfing via Opera Mini browser.

Albern Murty, Chief Marketing Officer of DiGi explains: "Malaysians are becoming a fast-adopting Internet society, leveraging on social networking media to share news, business opportunities and opinions with loved ones and other people with similar interests. DiGi is stepping up to offer service plans that are relevant and supportive of this growing usage trend. We are confident we can drive data traffic even more with our refreshed product positioning, and grow our customer base of smartphone users, which currently stands at over 26%.

"With that in mind, we are making the right partnerships to offer the right packages to suit our customers' needs. Being part of the Telenor Group, DiGi is in a good position to bring relevant digital services to Malaysians at best value. More such services will be introduced over time to further foster the mobile Internet lifestyle."

In addition to the new DG SmartPlan, DiGi is also introducing new Postpaid Tablet plans, Postpaid Broadband plans and a new feature, Postpaid Internet Top Up, which is available from as low as RM1 for customers to extend their surfing experience once they reach their quota.
