Little Rachel Chan gets to meet DiGi’s ‘yellow men’
PETALING JAYA: Little Rachel Chan had been so enchanted by the yellow men on TV that she wanted to meet them. So the seven-year-old wrote them a letter.
“DiGi man, can you come to my house please? I like you because you are yellow.
“I see you on TV, you follow people; please, please, please come to my house and follow me to school.”
Yesterday, she got her wish. The yellow men showed up at her doorstep.
Dream come true: Rachel waiting to go to school with two DiGi YCFs at her home in Taman Megah on Monday.
Two DiGi Yellow Coverage Fellows (YCF) came to her house in Taman Megah here and the little girl hid shyly behind her mother when she saw them. But not for long.
Soon, she started dancing and gave jumping high fives to the duo.
Her first question was, “Why can’t they talk?”, which drew laughter from DiGi officials who explained to her that the YCF was like its namesake, a figure to represent a mobile phone's coverage capacity.
She then asked whether the YCF came in other colours besides yellow.
“Are there green or blue DiGi men, Mummy?
“Why aren't they doing the 'boing-boing' dance now?” the Year Two pupil asked.
Rachel, who first saw the antics of the YCF on television following mobile phone users to illustrate DiGi's wide coverage, had written the letter several weeks ago.
Without Rachel's knowledge, her mother Esther Lai forwarded the letter to the mobile communications provider.
“Almost every night before I tuck Rachel to bed we would download video clips of the YCF from the Internet and we would always have a good laugh watching what my daughter calls the 'boing-boing' dance.
“Even when we pass a DiGi outlet, she would ask me whether the DiGi man was inside hiding somewhere,” said Lai.
Rachel was chauffeur-driven in an MPV and accompanied by both YCFs to her school here yesterday, much to the envy of her schoolmates who were assembled in the hall.
Pandemonium filled the hall as the two YCFs thrilled the thousand-odd students with their “boing-boing dance.”
They also handed out candies and other goodies to them.
I agreed, they were good to customer n they rates are reasonable to me. If i am not mistaken they were the 1st telecommunication company to help the flood victims. HAve u seen damn rich ananda maxis do that ??Digi suffered because they're in no way tied back to the Government.
That's after our Berjaya Group let go to A Swiss company (if I remember correctly).
Maxis has Anandan to thank to and the M'sian government wouldn't want to offend him.
Celcom now is co-owned by TM.
That's also who in the first place DIGI didn't manage to get their 3G license.
Even their transmission towers needs to be rented from Maxis or TM. That is why the coverage is not that good giving little transmission towers as compared to the other 2.
I might be biased towards DIGI because I've been using it for the past 8-9 years. But I do complain that coverage is not that good in West M'sia. But than again if you're in east malaysia you'll be thankful to DIGI.
But I do still see a future in DIGI. Have you guys ever noticed that they usually came out with the first strategy before everyone in the market follows them?!...
As far as i know, they're the first pre-paid.
They came out with 1 nation 1 call rate.
hmm... dont get u..:Not_Impressed:Won't it be cool to see yellow bits and pieces flying all over, for a change, instead of red?
If u blow up, nanti Little Rachel Chan will be very sad n angry :Palien,
What I meant was it would be cool to blow up those fat yellow bitchturds and then, their bits and pieces of body and costume will go flying all over the place. hahaha
Actually if u blow them up, the line will be clearer ???driftkingII,
Lil Rachel will be sad and angry? Well, then I guess it's just too bad. She could try to stop me from blowing them up though. Unsure if it's gonna bring any results anyway. hahaha
Actually, Hotlink came out with 1 nation 1 rate first, but because Digi is now shouting it, it seems like they came out with it first.Digi suffered because they're in no way tied back to the Government.

jinkl: yea I was actually going to point that out, sneaky bastards they arei was informed by someone about this hehe
do u guys really really read the digi banners ?
it says Malaysia Widest High-Speed Coverage
u can actually see that the word high-speed isnt really put out for u to see
they did not mean phone signal/service coverage , its a business tactic i guess , they most probably meant something else like their EDGE or some other tech in terms of speed.
its like saying , i have the fastest bugati in malaysia , while the real info is its the one n only bugati 1940 which is far more slower than other cars :) got it ?
Hotlink ?? even they are 1st but still expensive n yeah i remember the service was bad, i meant the bloody maxis customer service.Actually, Hotlink came out with 1 nation 1 rate first, but because Digi is now shouting it, it seems like they came out with it first.
