"Happy", that is the name of the new no-frills mobile service. Happy prepaid service allows customers to call any network at 1sen per second to a maximum of 99sen per call while SMSes will be at 10sen per SMS. Happy is the brainchild of four "rebel" from Digi who felt Malaysian mobile customers should have one straightforward plan and not have to pay for the "extras" they didn't need.
The Happy network will be riding on Digi's infrastructure so essentially, you'll still be getting a Digi coverage. The Happy line will use the 014 suffixes and starter packs star at RM5 with RM2 worth of calls. Happy is also giving their customer longer lasting line with validity going for 60 days starting from the last reload, regardless of the reload sum.
To register with Happy, you can head over to www.happy.com.my and order a Happy pack which will be sent to you free of charge. Alternatively, you can call 014-3456789 and order it from them or pick up a pack from Happy crews who are visiting nearby Giant Hypermarkets.

Considering that you're paying a maximum of 99sen per call, this is a real good value. According to the people at Happy (it sounds weird calling them that by the way ), this price plan is doable due to Happy taking out all the extras that most people don't need like marketing campaigns, football and celebrity sponsorships, concerts and etc. All these extras cost have been worked out into the call plans of the mobile services which is why sometimes you may find it costing too much. By removing all this "extras" and just providing calls, SMS and the occasional data services, Happy is able to offer this value call plan to their customers.
Currently the Happy Mobile Service is only available as a prepaid service though, should Happy hit off well, they might consider a postpaid plan. The interesting thing is Happy shall be directly competing directly with Digi's Prepaid Mobile Service as well. Well it looks like there's going to be another prepaid price war soon and that is all good for us consumers.
