DiGi 3G Service Experience

The long wait 3G Service by DiGi Telecommunications will finally be over soon when DiGi turn on its 3G Services commercially this Thursday 22nd October 2009. More than 7.2 million customers will be able to see the 3G signal on their phone, surf on the phone as well as make video calls.

Since its not launched yet, let me share some of my experience using the service. Yes, I've used the service as I was one of the lucky user who was chosen as a trial user early June 2009 and I must say I'm pretty impressed with the service thus far. I've try making a video call to one of my friend who was rather surprise to receive a video call considering that I'm on 016(DiGi or some call it DG). And the video quality is above acceptable quality.

Apart from video call, I also enjoy faster data access or some call it broadband surfing on my E71. With this, I was able to check on my facebook more often and also do video streaming on youtube.com. The only setback is that coverage is limited and the service is currently available at Klang Valey, Kota Kinabalu and Pinang.

So DiGi subscriber in the other location, you have got to be more patience while DiGi expand its service your your location. Those who are in the above mentioned location, you should see the 3G signal turning starting from this Thursday onward. As this service will be turn on phase by phase to avoid sudden congestion, please be patience if you don't see the signal in a day or two. You may find out more by calling the helpline at 016-2211800 for general consumer or 016-2298888 for Business Customer.

Please share your experience if you have tried it...
