SHAH ALAM, 4 September 2012 – DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (“DiGi”) is delivering on its promise to provide Internet For All by introducing a refreshed product proposition for its prepaid customers. Effective today, DiGi Easy Prepaid enables customers to enjoy 24-hour FREE calls, SMS and Facebook access.

These latest feature offerings of DiGi Easy Prepaid are tailored for savvy consumers who are comfortable using both voice and data channels to stay connected with their loved ones. They can interact with three (3) Buddyz™ freely and easily at zero charges within their self-created “mini community of four” via phone calls, SMS and Facebook.

Says Ting Shiew Han, Head of Prepaid in DiGi: “With 80% of Malaysian mobile subscribers being prepaid users, DiGi is leading the charge to address their needs by delivering the best value in the market with relevant and richer mobile features that customers can truly appreciate. Starting today, DiGi Easy Prepaid subscribers can enjoy the flexibility and convenience of round-the-clock free calls and SMS to three Buddyz as well as free Facebook access under this refreshed prepaid plan.

“DiGi has a strong brand affinity with youths and we are confident that this vibrant market segment will find our latest proposition appealing. After all, 50% of the Malaysia population are below 25 and they are one of the most discerning, price sensitive and mobile internet savvy people around. We believe that the new features of DiGi Easy Prepaid will further enhance user experience and empower customers to stay connected with their loved ones in the most affordable and convenient way – fulfilling our ambition to deliver Internet For All.”
