I will never, never have an account with Maxis. After a bad experience 5 years ago, I consider them "the cheating people company". They will make "mistakes" in their bills which I believe are intentional. How come the mistakes never favour the user, always favour Maxis?
MCMC should regulate this "cheating people company." There is no logic that users cannot check their data usage before the bill comes out. It's like saying your electric meter can only tell you your consumption at the end of the month and only then. Is Maxis as a technology driven company saying that they can't do it? Or they won't allow users to check usage for their own obvious reason?
Just port to Digi and avoid all the ishock from Maxis.

Anybody tried Air Asia's Tune Talk? This is a prepaid SIM with charge of RM0.16 per call, RM0.05 per SMS and RM0.05 per MB data. For light data users this should be good, it's pay as you use. I think they piggyback on Celcom's 2.5G network.

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jan 15 2011, 04:48 PM) I've been travelling a bit lately in the Africa region, and I just want to share a bit of comparison. I've had prepaid sim cards for Emtel (Mauritius) and Safaricom (Kenya). Both of these countries are backwaters compared to Malaysia, way poorer infrastructure and development. But guess what ... both countries prepaid out-of-package data rates are about usd0.10 per mb. And if you do buy a data package, you don't need to worry at all about monitoring your data usage on iPhone, because when your data about to finish they'll auto SMS you to tell you that "you only have 2mb remaining." So ... why are Malaysia's data rates (and especially Maxis one) so expensive? Maxis is rm10/mb for crying out loud. Now you know what a cash cow billing for data used over the limit is to Maxis. No wonder they won't let users check how much data they have used. |
