I just received sms from maxis
  I hope i dont get overcharge by Maxis if i can control use up 200MB only for the next 10 days. Because it is clear in the sms and it is clear in my usage as well. There is no reason maxix want to cheat me right? Ok we shall see what happen Anyway, Maxis 3G really fast, i wonder if any telcos can beat this speed  |

QUOTE(' or 1=1 -- @ Nov 5 2010, 04:26 PM) dont!! stop ur cellular data usage. this is what happened to me. i thot he. i got another 200 megs to go. and then when the bill came it was nearly RM400!! : O Oh I know already why u pay so high, i called maxis and they explained to me that for 1GB data they calculate not just received but sent alsothat sms means u have exceeded 800 megs of usage. same thing with the 1gb sms it will come AFTER you have exceeded the quota. save urself now and just use wifi. turn internet off on ur phone.  Example:-  Sent (117MB) + Received (942MB)= 1059MB 1GB = 1024MB so extra usage 1059 - 1024 = 35 MB RM0.05/10kb = RM0.005/kb 35MB = 35 x1024 kb = 35840kb SO how much you have to pay extra = 35840kb x RM0.005 = RM179.20 ivalue1, first month , maxis doest rebate your prepayment of RM40 only start second month, So how much you have to pay for first month RM100 + RM179.20 = RM279.20 + Tax |

The officer at 123 also told me to ON the "Air Plane" mode when using wifi to avoid cellular data being tranferred, this is crazy we cant receive any call if we do that.
Maxis employed bunch of idiots that cant count the bill properly and cant give advice. In the end, Ananda K become gazzilionaire! |

Maxis do send sms reminder twice, once when you reached 800MB and next when you reached 1GB.
I'll switch off data after the latter and subscribe to RM8/day for 500MB package if i need data. No more BillShock for me after the 1st Prorated Bill. |
