COMMUNICATIONS and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil recently announced that Internet package prices are expected to drop in September when the Mandatory Standard on Access Pricing is adopted. I am hoping the price of mobile phone plans will also be reduced.
I am currently paying RM28 per month for a telco plan that gives me 50 minutes of voice calls, 200 short messages service (SMS) texts and 3GB of data. I used to subscribe to a much cheaper plan without mobile data. But these days, having mobile data is a must, otherwise I would not be able to park in the local council’s parking lot, among others.
