First, the $99 3G phone promotion which sold like hot cakes two years back in conjunction with Hari Raya celebration (link). Now, this.
You probably have seen these two advertisements over and over again since 26th March 2008. If you haven’t, better have a good look at it as this promotion will be ending soon either on the 4th or 6th of this month or while stocks last. Will bmobile going to score this promotion for the second time? Only time will tell.
The promotion:
- Only $45 per month where normal plan is $59 per month
- Free 2GB of data transfer (download + upload) usage per month, if exceeds, $0.50 per MB. But if your total amount exceeds $99, you only pay $40 ($99 – $59) for the extra which is equivalent to unlimited usage.
- Get a free Dell Vostro notebook (worth $1588)
- Get a free 3.5G usb modem (worth $300)
- Free notebook carrying bag (only for first 250 subscribers)
- Connection speed up to 3.6Mbps
- Able to connect anywhere you are within bmobile coverage
The catch -
- If you have Baiduri Bank Credit Card, you have to pay $2160 within 2 years for the 0% installment i.e $90 per month.
- For cash or other credit card payments, you have to prepaid the full amount – $2160.
- Contract term is 4 years.
They have another plan with payment of $69.90 per month ($1667.60 – full payment) for a 2 years contract and you will still get the free notebook and modem.
Is it worth the money? It depends on how you see it. For more details, check bmobile website here or drop in their booth just in front of at Cheez Box, The Mall.
