Let Talk Tech - Comparing New Redone Data Plan (Amazing Plan 2017) with other Operators

update :  July 2017!  Redone Amazing Plan 
RM28 is now 5g + 5G Basic 
see (link)



Note :  1. All figures given are without GST included  2. All plan rate are for one calendar month. 

Just got updated by Facebook that Redone a virtual network operator, has just launch a new/upgraded Data Plan, with more data allowance, and they call it Amazing Plans, info From Redone web.   

Redone Amazing Plan (Post Paid)

  • For RM 8 – 1 GB  (up grade from 500mb I think)
  • For RM28 – 10 GB but split into 4gb + 6gb basic internet 
  • For RM48 – 20 GB but split into 8gb + 12gb basic internet with free 200min call (n terms & condition)
With 6 month lock in period. 
With Free on Net call
Calls at RM0.15 per min to other operator
SMS RM0.10 (Othr network) RM0.05(Redone)
MMS RM0.20 

Should I switch or not?

Currently I am Using (This old plan is no longer available) Celcom First Blue that give me @ RM38, 3GB total with carry forward of unused internet up to 3gb + Free 50min call + Free 50 sms,I think.  Celcom have also been sending SMS on a upgrade at RM45 per month I can get 10gb,  however when I visited their web and Seberang Jaya office,  no info on the terms and condition,  the Service assistant as SJ say I must call up 1111, which I did but got kick out after waiting for a few minutes twice. 

So Redone RM28 with 4gb mobile data already is more then what Celcom First blue RM38 give me, 6gb basic is just icing,  I hardly use celcom to call or sms.  As such this Redone Plan is already a winner, Its time for me to look at what other operators are offering.  And wondering are they going to upgrade their plans.    

All information extracted from individual website as at 2nd Jan 2017 9am

  • Data Use only,
  • Prefer no split in data allocation, if split defer to Normal Mobile Data   
  • More Data better for Lesser RM   
  • as it stands on 2nd Jan 2017 early morning
General Comments : Maxis seems to cater for the High end market, their lowest rate is RM98
