Use Digi! The cheapest telco rate in Malaysia. Second choice would be U-Mobile.

Hi I have maxis on my iPhone with 3gb plan 88 rm pee month and for my blackberry I use celcom which charges 2 rm per day for unlimited bbm and emails.

Don't use digi as poor coverage. I saw celcom at airport. For maxis plan unpaid a 500 rm deposit as post paid but celcom was 20 rm for the card as prepaid.

You need your passport and an unlocked blackberry. That cost me 20 USD and did that myself as locals wouldn't do it. That was a UK phone though

my phone is unlocked and will go with either Celcom or Maxis, preferably one with less hassles of buying a sim.

thanks a lot guys!

Both same easiness just compare package right for you!

Agree,

However Digi has a very poor connectivity in rural areas. For 100% connectivity in any places, I'd suggest you to use Celcom instead. But for me Maxis is the expensive telco compare to other telcos in Malaysia
