Dear All,
I would like to share my case here.
I am facing the same problem now with
MAXIS!!!
Ok. I try to make it short.
I got my iphone4 on the 24th Sept 10 and my bill captured until 27th Sept 10.
Maxis charged me usage of
363mb (which is equivalent to RM18++ in the bill
(from 24-27th Sept 10) but my iphone shows total data usage of
353mb as at
today, 2 Oct 2010.
I went to Maxis Center TTDI and i was poorly served by a fellow called AzXXXX.
He cant explain why my phone shows only 353mb but they charged me 363mb and mentioned sth funny:
1) Although i hv a 2gb/mth data plan (ivalue2), it doesnt mean that i have approx. 66mb/day (2,000,000mb/30day)! WTF!
2) He said for Ivalue2, Maxis is actually charging me abt RM50/mth for the 2gb/mth data plan only, so i m not entitled to 66mb/day! So i told him it is Maxis' problem rather than my problem whether Maxis charged me RM15 or RM50 or RM1 for the 2gb/mth data plan, as long as i signed the 2gb/mth plan, i shld b entitled for the 2gb/mth or approx 66mb/day! He laughed at me and asked: WHY THIS IS MAXIS PROBLEM??
3) I told him i surfed net via wifi in my house most of the time, so the data usage shldnt be so high. He said that WIFI usually is not stable and when it happens, 3g data will be used. (of cos i know whether the phone is connected to wifi or 3g bcoz u can easily see it at the screen!!!!)
The CS was really bad and lousy! When i asked for his name, he did not even look at me and tell me his name. He just point me to his name tag and look at somewhere else.
I was pissed off and headed straight to The Garden Maxis Centre.
I noticed that when Maxis overcharged, they will usually:
1) At first, insist that u hv over-used and make u think twice on the complaint.
2) When they know they couldnt changed ur mind, they will offer to waive 50% of the usage for u. They will then tell u that even if u want to lodge it as a case (which they will giv u a case no.), u MAY not even get a single cent rebate.
However, I insisted to lodge a complaint.
If this case cant be resolved happily, i am ready to pay for the penalty and go straight to Digi Centre!
I have warned all my frens who are getting the Data Plan from Maxis. I hope u guys take extra precaution especially on the 1st month of your data usage! Pls also be reminded that the 1st month of ur data usage will not come after 1 month, it depends on ur Billing Date. It may come right after 1 week!
I wonder if my phone connected to WIFI but with the Mobile Data switched ON, will i be charged for the 3g mobile data too althoght the screen shows connected to WIFI????
I have been a MAXIS customer for more than 5years! I think it is the right time to make a change, for me!
Sorry for long story!
I faced the same problem when I went to TTDI Maxis centre last week. The guy is not willing to help me to find out further and he said it may be caused by data usage and the charge might be reasonable. Asked me to pay if I want to use the line. I keep on asking him if anyone can advise why the unbilled running high coz I don't want to get the same msg again the next day even after I paid. He keep on saying don't know and if I really want to find out the reason, asked me go and get the number and wait together with those buying Iphone 4 and there is no guarantee for answer to my problem.
I seriously can't stand with his attitude. I proceed to Sunway Maxis Centre. At least there is a technical counter and he suggest to lodge the report. Most important is now the issue solved.
