let's say you have a blackberry bold, the celcom P148 plan + BIS RM30
if you use the BB browser, you're effectively using BIS and not unlimited data. won't they charge you extra for the BIS usage? or does it fall under the unlimited 3g data in the P148 plan? |

QUOTE(mensa @ May 20 2009, 04:09 PM) i'm so pissed off with celcom customer center.. just now i'm asking about the bb services if there is any new promotion regarding this services especially bold. After 20 minutes..what i got are: 1) Most of the time they put me on hold  2) Terminate the conversation session without any reason  Damn la u celcom..the staff even do not know what the RRP price for the bold ("Maaf cik, kami tidak pasti la harga untuk blackberry tersebut") WTF!! After several session..this is the worst scenario happen to me..20 minutes full of shit.. I rather pay a little bit more and thinking about maxis..in fact there is not much diff after all. Damn u celcom..wasting my time. i agree with u..they CS always like that, ",,,cik sila tunggu sebentar." ..then they plug in music.....until u got fed up  |

not really..
its all depends on the coverage.. which celcom is way much better.. been there done that with maxis for 10 years.. changed to celcom coz the BIS is gone everytime it's a rainy day.. for celcom.. so far so good.. eventho its on GPRS and sometime EDGE (am using Javelin), but never on GSM at all... I am one happy customer.. at least better than Maxis.. |

im using digi, just changed over from celcom. very good, and fast surfing. go for digi which is only rm58/month. calls are charge based on your usage, rm0.15 per minute.
my staffs still using celcom..service still the same, no improvement. This post has been edited by sampride: Dec 8 2009, 11:40 AM |

QUOTE(mikelanding @ Oct 22 2009, 11:18 AM) I am sorry to hear that.. My best guess for your situation is. Maxis screw up their setting on this BIS causing U to use EDGE/GPRS rate instead of BIS. I might be wrong. But that is the truth that many are enjoying the RM40 maxis entry BIS. mike, what do you mean by that? BIS has a different coverage/speed? |
