Look at what we just saw on DiGi’s website, the telco has just unveiled its new DG Smart Plan postpaid plans and it looks like they will be offering 4G LTE for smartphone users as well…finally! Previously available for DiGi Broadband and Tablet Internet Plans only, DiGi has finally decided to roll out LTE for its voice plans and in conjunction with that, the telco also has got some new plans that looks pretty competitive with 2GB of data at only RM50 a month. Hit the break for the full details about the new DG SmartPlan postpaid plans.
DiGi has removed two of its old SmartPlan postpaid plans (SmartPlan 58/88) and replaced them with the new DG SmartPlan 50, SmartPlan 78, and SmartPlan 108 for RM50, RM78 and RM108 respectively. As with existing SmartPlan postpaid plans, all these new options comes bundled with data, voice calls and SMS.

With LTE on board, it’s no wonder why DiGi has decided to offer more data, even with its most basic postpaid plan – SmartPlan 50 at RM50/month. The rest of the plans seems to be getting more data as well however as with the older plans, the data quota are split into two different usage – Mobile Internet Quota and Smart Apps quota. In addition to that, the new SmartPlans also comes with additional “freebies” such as unlimited weekend calls within the DiGi network (valid for SmartPlan 78/108/148 only), unlimited messaging on WhatsApp, unlimited surfing using Opera Mini, free DiGi Visual Voicemail, free Norton Mobile Security, and free unlimited music streaming on Deezer. Do note that according to DiGi, the free weekend calls are subjected to fair usage policy of 1,000 minutes a month.
Smart Apps Quota refers to the data used for Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, WeChat and WhatsApp but we’re not quite sure on how it works because the new SmartPlans should come with free unlimited messaging on WhatsApp anyway. Mobile Internet Quota refers to all other usage and will be available for you to use as you please. As for the rest of the freebies like Deezer Premium, Norton Mobile Security and DiGi Visual Voicemail, everything will be free throughout your DG SmartPlan subscription.
The plans should be available immediately, since it’s already live on their website, but to enjoy 4G LTE on your LTE-enabled smartphone, you might need to change to a new SIM card. Check out our DiGi 4G LTE announcement post to find out more about how you can get LTE now.
do I need to change Sim card to use 4G?
I had mine changed when I wanted to use their 4G but don’t bother. Their 4G coverage is pathetic. Ever since I gotten my new SIM I’ve never had the chance to use it as the place I live and visit all do not have Digi 4G coverage.
They did share the coverage , did you ever bother to read before doing anything stupid ?
Yup, you’ll need the new DiGi USIM card to get LTE. Check out or other post for more information:

wrong info, Smart Plan 50 does not entitled for free weekend call
you just changed. ^^
SORRY! What was I writing. Yes thanks for informing! 😀
Compare to previous 88 Plan : 78Plan lack of bill rebates after exceeding certain amount + huge reduce on sms and call bundle
still not worth it, i hate the smart apps quota, i doubt many of us will be using over 1gb of data just for facebook, whatsapp, twitter, wechat; let alone 3gbs…
I am thinking to jump ship to Maxis with their latest RM58 package which includes 120mins call + 120sms to all network & 2GB data. The data speed with slow down after hitting 2GB usage. This is far a good package compare to Digi.
Which plan is this? care to share?
Just called up to Digi. Their Smart Plan 50 does not bundled with call and there will be no Bonus Link points rewards. This is not an attractive plan. Their new plan is more expensive + not attractive to consumers.
so late lahhhh, wat LTE,need change sim card lahhh. make it easy and steady,ok! i already switch to other operator because want use their LTE, need many condition.
I think old plan 88 still better if looking at voice & sms. Btw what does onnet and offnet mean. When will digi introduce share sim as like U telco did
