UPDATE (15 April): The plan is now official. Read more below for details.
Celcom is about to offer yet another postpaid plan to its customers very soon which is called First Platinum. The name of this new postpaid plan was revealed during the launch of the telco’s new set of roaming passes called Wonderoam earlier today.
The telco added that the new plan will be officially revealed on 15 April (that’s tomorrow) and designed for users that want even more data as well as benefits than First Gold users. It also mentioned that one of the benefit being a First Platinum customer is the ability to utilize the newly launched Wonderoam 1 week pass.
However, the telco decided to keep other information under wraps for the time being. As it turns out though, a number of presentation slides that Celcom have used in its recent dealer briefing have actually made their way online:
As clearly shown on these slides, First Platinum customers will receive 18GB data in total with the main 9GB are meant for general usage together with 9GB for weekends as well as 9GB for Celcom Wi-Fi hotspots. Not to forget, there’s also unlimited calls and SMS together with 1 year of free access to Yonder Music, iflix, and Zipit Chat.
At the same time, they will also be able to enjoy other privileges alongside the Wonderoam pass that we mentioned earlier which include access to Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge, personalized customer service, extended credit limit, and extended payment days. Interested customers apparently are able to register or upgrade for the new plan starting from tomorrow itself.

UPDATE (15 April):
As promised, Celcom has officially reveal the details behind the brand new First Platinum plans:
This confirmed what we have seen on the leaked slides yesterday. For further information, check out the official website right here.
Perfect for those needed more and willing to pay more for all the extras. A niche market.
Probably trying to counter Maxis’s “new” One plan…lol
haha..
that “one” nice 😉
Before MAXIS can even follow, Celcom has moved another step ahead. Well done.
Padan muka MAXSHITZ. Everyone wants to port out. Looks like MAXIS has to change their marketing brochures before it can be released end of this month…lol
USELESS because sellkom still dont have even 3G in my town…also this telco keep spamming sms
couldn’t agree more ! I need an ad-blocker for sms
I am using Celcom for nearly 5 years. Yes, did receive some msg, but not until spamming stage.
I notice that even others telco also got this kind of messages… hmm
only for niche market..people just want free call plus sms..internet as long as unlimited, people still can stay with it even though it slow..
9gb on weekend is a bit overboard. 5gb is the sweet spot. celcom should have done 13gb weekday, 5gb weekend.
i now subscribe the gold elite, the weekend 5gb will devided to 1.25GB weekly,
if u did’t use it, its will added to your monthly data
i use it for 3 month, i just check the data balanced still have 9.4gb and its reset at 2nd of the month
afaik, the weekend quota wouldn’t be carried forward. it expires if not used up on the weekend it’ available. I’m first blue user btw.
Its a good plan on the Wonderoam, especially for those travel lots on business trip! currently the rate is RM38 per day and cost RM266 for 7 days, which i can save RM128 for 7 days roaming!
meanwhile in the coming maxis marketing department meeting
hows sales?
* silence*
how many ppl port out this month?
errrrrr
Baru sign Platinum plan. The only downside is topup internet available RM20 for 1GB.
If not topup RM80 for 10GB.
18gb is too hard to kill in a month.
I think u might not have the chance to top up your data. lol
I stream alot, usually top-up more or less than 20gb a month.
Yesterday sign for platinum plan.
You can see attachement for today’s balance free weekend.
What’s the point if you have 16Gb limit but need stretch your arm outside the window to get 3G signal? I don’t say this happen everyone, but this currently happen to me and I believe I’m not alone. I’m staying in Puchong
