The iPhone 5S might be an aging smartphone but here in Malaysia, it is still among the bestselling devices around. With a lot of carriers and plans to choose from for the iPhone 5S, consumers in the nation found it hard to decide on the best deals for the iPhone 5S. Well, we are here to help you out.
For starters, there are three carriers covered in this comparison. They are Maxis, Digi and Celcom. We have also decided to use the iPhone 5S 16GB as an example for this comparison.
The iPhone 5S can be obtained cheaply through Maxis’ iValue Simple Plan. It is RM50 per month and there is a bundled data of 1GB. However, the price of the device will be the painful part as consumers have to fork out a whopping RM2,229 for it. The price covers the registration fee and advance payment as well.
The plan offered by Maxis is really new and is meant to compete with Digi’s iDigi 88. It is RM60 a monh and comes with the same 1GB quota. However, payment made upfront is much cheaper at only RM2,072.
If you wish to splurge to fulfil your data needs, Celcom First Prime mPro plan is the best of them all. Aside from the RM2,166 upfront fee, consumers will have to commit to 12months contract of only RM128 a month. With it, you will enjoy 6GB of data without any worries.
Of course, the price increases for every iPhone 5S variants but the plan values remains fixed. It is really costly to own and iPhone 5S in Malaysia and it is best to give it a long hard thought before deciding on the telco for you.
