I feel a bit guilty to be still enjoying benefits from my previous company :)... for the last 2 years. When I joined 1Si back in 2005, I signed up for a company subsidised mobile package. To my surprise since I left the company in 2009, Celcom still haven't terminate my package or even changed it to their normal package. I am still enjoying the monthly discount / rebate of RM60.

| RM60 Discount every month :D |
A few days ago I got a shock of my life! I receive an SMS saying my un-billed usage has reach the maximum limit! And I need to pay RM265.25 in order to continue using. It didn't take me long to figure out why...
I bought a new phone recently, Xperia Play, and I was playing around with the 3G data, GPS and etc. Apparently I forgot to turn off the GPS+3G data while driving around Kuching. Then suddenly I received the dreaded SMS. Since my plan was a voice only plan. Celcom charge me RM0.10 for every 10kb used!
OMG! they never warn their customers who are not on data plan about this! at least they should have send an early SMS to warn about the charges! Anyway serves me right for not checking first. At least I enjoyed the special benefits for 2 years. :) I saved at least RM 1440 from the discount/rebates.
I am switching to Digi's Smart Plan Lite. Now I can just leave the 3G data and GPS on all the time and not worry about extravagant bills! If I exceed the 300Mb quota they will just throttle the speed down.
With Watsapp and Viber I wont be using voice or SMS services, so this plan is just perfect. Unless of cause I go to areas without 3G coverage. :P
