Have you figured out which Iphone 7 Plus you need and which telco provider offers the best plan? With the exciting dual-camera system and breakthrough ISP technology on iPhone 7 Plus, you can now get super-sharp close-up photos and videos with optical zoom at 2x and get even closer with improved digital zoom.
Similar to the previous best plans for iPhone 7 article, CompareHero.my has compared telco plans for three different types of users for the new iPhone 7 Plus and the criteria to be considered such as data usage, affordability, and special features.
1. For the newbies (iPhone 7 Plus 32 GB)
For those who have not used an iPhone but wish to try the latest gadget, including fresh graduates, entry level executives, students or even people who are opting away from Android smartphones, we believe that you should not be weighed down by high costs for trying out the new iPhone 7 Plus. Just so you know, the offered price for iPhone 7 Plus 32 GB is RM3,799.
Here are some of the plans with a monthly commitment of under RM100 with an attractive device price:
Based on the above, Digi Smartplan 48 More Internet offers the lowest total price inclusive of the device, data plans for 12 months and goods and service tax (GST).
If you have a slightly higher budget, Digi Smartplan 98 and Celcom First Gold offer the iPhone 7 Plus at only RM2588 (device price) with monthly commitments of RM98. Between these two, it seems the Digi Smartplan 98 is more appealing to the consumer with 10 GB + 5 GB of data compared with Celcom’s 5 GB + 5 GB + 2 GB data.
On top of that, Digi Smartplan 98 also offers free WhatsApp, Wechat, and unlimited streaming on Digi Music Freedom. The only bummer is that it only provides 300 minutes of Voice Calls while Celcom First Platinum offers unlimited voice calls. However, choose a plan that is suited for your needs of data, voice calls, SMS, and of course, your budget!
2. For the upgraders (iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB)
For those who are already existing users of iPhones and wish to upgrade to the iPhone 7 with more storage capacity, we believe you need plans with more data to cater for your experience with the new iPhone with a monthly commitment of under RM150. The original price of iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB is RM4,299.
Here are the plans:
For this category, it is arguably unlikely that any of us will use more than 10 GB of data per month. To make sure you are not signing up for a plan that looks attractive yet you don’t really need, Umobile’s i130 is probably the best plan to offer a decent amount of data usage (10 GB) with the lowest total price of RM5,745. With 10 GB of data and unlimited voice calls, you can enjoy your daily dose of social media feeds, videos, music, and connect with your friends & family at minimal costs.
On top of that, you can also enjoy unlimited video streaming with Umobile’s exclusive feature of Video Onz on 18 channels including Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, iFlix, Tonton, Astro On the Go, and many other platforms. This is a huge deal for drama, movie, and video lovers with tremendous savings of data!
3. For the Ultimate Fans (iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB)
If you want to go full throttle in terms of getting the best experience from iPhone 7 256 GB which will be sold at RM4,799, here are the deals with a monthly commitment under RM200:
In terms of value, UMobile i130 is still the best plan among others in terms of price and relevance to users. With unlimited video streaming, you can enjoy watching videos without using up your own data for other purposes such as photo posting and files sharing via apps. However, you can refer to this table to sort out the best plan for you based on your preference and usage needs.
Tips on making your first payment
Though you can get a cheaper price for the iPhone 7 Plus from these providers, subject to a contract, you still need to fork out at least more than RM2,000. To make sure you can purchase the phone and take advantage of the deals, here are some tips:
- Check if the providers offer a monthly instalment plan for the device such as Digi and Umobile. Get as many details of the plans from the customer service consultants and make your decision.
- Use your credit cards to purchase the phone and settle your upfront payment to get cash back and reward points with cards such as Citi Cashback Card Visa and Hong Leong Wise Gold Visa.
- Negotiate with the bank or credit card issuers for an easy payment plan with lower interest rates or zero interest rates for the transaction. This way you can avoid getting charged the usual interest rates and discipline yourself to make affordable monthly payments at the same time.
Before making any decisions, you need to determine whether to get iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus to suit your daily usage. Leave us a comment if you have any question!
