Hi... currently im on the iPhone, but thinking of getting a bold soon. still havent decide wether to go with maxis or Celcom...
I'm a twitter addict and use facebook all the time.
So I need to know if maxis or Celcom that value to my money. HELP!
what do you guys think?
xoxo

For Celcom:

P148 + RM30 for BIS...that's all you need to pay for UNLIMITED 3G on your Blackberry.

You may use FB, Messenger, watch YOUTUbe, use as Modem and download Movies.....it is still UNLIMITED. I have used it for 4 months. I have downloaded a few movies(a few Gig). My bills are the same every month. I heard about the fair usage for 3G, i think Unlimited is still capped at 5Gigabyte. It's hard to achieve 5Gig in a month!

Hi,

Just sign up fo upgrading my current corporate package power 18 + RM68 for unlimited broadband to the new corporate package power 18 + RM98 (for 384Kbps unlimilted broadband + BIS) and get the new Bold from Celcom at RM1,588 (not from Blue cube) but have to tie with 2 years contract. so RM18 + RM98 is the cheapest voice plan + BIS + unlimited BB

Regards

OMG ... getting a BB really confusing. What my intention is to get a unit of BB 8900 for the company. So I can use the phone for websurfing and check company OMA/OWA mail.

I wanna try the celcom BB.
I get a different answer from bluecube and careline.

BlueCube just mention the requirement is you only need apply exec 50 + 98 unlimited data plan and u pay some RM1.xk for the BB 8900.
But at careline, They say need to apply P148+38 BB license+ RM2 sms pack= RM188, and purchase the BB at price offered by dealer? How much? answer:duno, depend dealer .... zzz


At 1st, i thought just applying exec 50 + 98 data plan will allow me to enjoy the benefit of BB8900..
After reading post over here seem like there other hidden issue was not well explain by Celcom..
like the unlimited data plan... one is celcom data unlimited another is BBlicense data plan...
They didn't explain the use of BIS license ...which i have confuse with the celcom unlimited data plan vs BB BIS plan. I thought the plan was celcom data plan which use to surf 3G/Gprs.
http://www.celcom.com.my/celcomexec/blackb...berry_plans.php

So i got some few Q and hope u guys can help me out.

-so if i wanna to use BB 8900 from celcom, I need to subcribe P148 plan ( which is exec 50 +98 unlimited data plan) + BIS license RM38( <5MB).

- When surfing using BB browser, there will be 2 charges? Celcom Data charge and BB license charge??
- Have any one try using BB to access OMA from exchange? This charge based on celcom 3G or BB? As Oma is running http.
- Do you think the BIS 38 is enough for me? I not using BB as modem, which use its browser to check mail and surf net.

THank you ...

-so if i wanna to use BB 8900 from celcom, I need to subcribe P148 plan ( which is exec 50 +98 unlimited data plan) + BIS license RM38( <5MB).
Not sure about celcom, But I am on maxis BIS RM40 package. I brought my BB from AP seller. I ask my cousin to sub a line for me (RM10, since he use old RM138 package from maxis). So my total RM10+RM40+5% tax.

- When surfing using BB browser, there will be 2 charges? Celcom Data charge and BB license charge??
Surfing using BB Browser, I think is using BIS service. I did surf a few time using BB browser. Maxis didnt charge me any extra for data

- Have any one try using BB to access OMA from exchange? This charge based on celcom 3G or BB? As Oma is running http.
I try to configure using OWA to get my company mail. But fail to get it work. I think is my company security issue.
- Do you think the BIS 38 is enough for me? I not using BB as modem, which use its browser to check mail and surf net.
For Maxis 5mb, is more than enough. I use for push 4 email accounts, UberTwitter everyday 8 hrs, MSN live 8 hrs everyday, light surfing on BB browser, BB messenger all day with my wife at oversea, FB occasionally. Still havent exceed the quota.

- With that P148, just add RM30 for BIS and the broadband (up to 3.5G speed) is unlimited


No other data charges


Regards

BlackBerry plans are quite expensive, coz it was actually cater to the 'business user' for those cheapskate don't bother la.

Maxis or Celcom, their plans are almost pretty much the same.

Celcom may look cheap but their 68+38 is capped to 384kpbs so if u use it as modem, not so fast la, even if u on HSDPA signal

Maxis is pretty straight forward rm120 for BB+unlimited and it is HSDPA speed

hi there!

i've been scouring the pages in the forum but couldn't find any answer to this question:

i bought a BB Bold from Maxis [not under contract] and have been using their services for the past 1 year.

now my company has opted this special plan with celcom and we are to migrate our subscriptions etc to celcom.

my question is: can the maxis BB Bold be used using celcom BIS plan etc? i thot of asking maxis CS but i just wanna double check with the forumers first if anyone have had any experience on this.

sorry if this has been posted somewhere b4. please give me the link if you happen to know it;)

Hi,
Yes u can do that. Basically now u need to release ur BB Bold Pin with maxis. There are few ways.

1. If u have another BB, just log on to maxis blackberry website, register ur other BB or use the function Change Device. Enter the new BB pin and imei. You BB Bold Pin is now released and u can use with Celcom BIS.

2. If u dont have another BB, u call maxis CS at 123. Ask them to release ur PIN and cancel ur BIS Service. They may tell u that u can do it over the net, but let them know that u dont have any other BB to use the change device function. Tell them that u want to use ur BB with other operator or maybe u give ur BB to ur hubby. They will understand and do it for u. The BIS will be cancelled and Pin is released.

Hope this help. Just my 2 cents.

tx so much for the info. i'd definitely try what you suggested.

cheers

sure will work. did few times before for both method.

really? tell me about it. i've yet to call up maxis.

someone told me that they cannot get maxis to release the BB pin.
should i tell them that i'm terminating the line and want them to release the BB pin for the migration to another provider?
[or am i too straight forward? ]

hi gal,
as i mentioned earlier, if u are opting for 2nd method which is cal 123, tell them to terminate ur BIS and release ur pin as you are going to sell ur bb or give to ur hubby or go for other operator, within few minutes, there u go.. its all done.

Trust me, can be done as i've been doing for so many times already.

But if u have another BB to be used with ur Maxis BIS, u can do it over the website.

Good luck. Keep me updated.

alright then. i'll do method 2 shortly. will keep u updated.
tx


cheers

I just have a few quick questions regarding Maxis Prepaid:

1. Prepaid can be used for Bold too, right?!

2. If I subscribe to RM28/month for Monthly Social BIS, can I still have access to internet surfing + checking emails when I'm in a wifi zone?

3. With RM28/month for Monthly Social BIS, do I have access to the built-in GPS?

3. Can Maxis plan be used for tethering too? So far I have just read about such usage from Celcom users.

THANK YOU!

I think hotlink package is available for BB Curve 8520 only..

nope... if you are a heavy user of IM/Facebook/Tweeter, better use Ulimited as the Entry RM40/month plan will not cover that for you...

I've been there done that... I was on Unlimited BIS and have tried the Entry BIS RM40, within 4 days of change, my bill burst up to RM40/day!!! I quickly called Maxis and change back to the Unlimited BIS and last few days when I got my montly bill, it was charge RM80++ for EDGE/GPRS usage. And after checked with Maxis, that was my exceed for my Entry RM40 plan - 17MB for only 4days! And that's it, I told my Hubby. No more trial and error. I stick to my RM120-Unlimited plan.. mahal pun mahal la.. But I'm satisfied, just curious since many claimed that they are heavy user but maxis never charge them more than RM40 and now I dunno that was true or just a gimmick.

Sorry my bad words.. I just feels cheat, that's all.

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.
