Celcom iPhone 5 plans first look

Celcom have just released their iPhone 5 plans moment ago.

At a first glance, Celcom iPhone 5 plans seem to beat the competition with their data plan from 4.05GB right up to 6.2GB inclusive of free 1GB Celcom First WiFi, which is a huge deal for mobile tethering. If I may add, this is so generous of Celcom.

I made a call to Celcom to get extra information about iPhone 5 plan because some info’s are not so straightforward to understand. Example Free Mins/SMS/MMS, customers can choose from Prime 267, Premier 667 and Elite 1500. What those figures means for SMS and MMS? Unfortunately, the call centre employee who picks up my call did not have the answer. I was informed they were not brief about the plan and I was her first customer who enquires about the email.

Celcom letting customers know first before everyone else, I think it’s cool.

No Upfront payment?

There is no upfront payment mention by Celcom too. I am so eager about the no upfront payment other than the iPhone 5 subsidized prices. Though it is not likely and I think Celcom will probably send a follow up email.

Looking at the Celcom iPhone 5 plans, I think Celcom going to sell lot of iPhone 5 this Friday.

Update

What is the meaning of 267, 667 and 1500?

The numbers stand for the units. How do I use it?

Example:  If I used 100 minutes of calls, 50 SMS and 30MMS, all I have to do is to add up all the units “100+50+30 = 180” in this example I uses 180 units.

  1. Celcom NO LONGER OFFER IPHONE5 TO EXISTING USER, ONLY TO THE NEWLY REGISTERED NUMBER.
    they were offering to everyone 1 week ago and now this weird policy (said coming from the top Management). I heard each of celcom staff got 1 iphone for free…may be they ran out of stock so existing user dont have the right anymore. This is so DISCRIMINATING!!!

  2. The Celcom launch for iphone 5 this year was very poorly managed. Even their own staff had difficulty understanding the packages. Anyway, for all iPhone5 packages, you need to pay advance payment of RM150(12mnths) or RM250(24months). As for the free units, the iphone 4s has a better offer which makes this iphone 5 offer expensive.

    • Hey Bro! Thanks for the input.

      I took the package from Maxis. Turn out Maxis gives much better offer for my budget.

      Plus and BIG PLUS no down payment for existing customer. I bought the iPhone 5 16GB with iValue 2 for my wife, I pay only RM1149.

      That’s the reason hy Maxis launching is so successful!
