my unbilled amout last time
[attachmentid=1953002]

after a few hours it turns to normal... but on 19th my unamount bill was at rm400++ and i was barred. i was so pissed off and call the CS and she can only unbar my number and cut my bill on 21st. still pissed, i wrote an email to maxis complaining about this high surge of mine.
that afternoon Maxis representative called me and asking about the situation. i told her and express my dissatisfation to their system which she agreed. we talked about half hour regarding the issues and promised to settle this as soon as possible.
just today i checked my unbilled amount and voila.... it turns to rm70 again....

unbarred the line for me wont settle the cause of the matter. im still waiting for my bills at the maxis portal.

the other thing about maxis billing which really pissed me off is the fact that they charge our usage 1st and at the end of the bill cycle only then they'll calculate how much the actual bill is...
so imagine if i already use 700mb which i am now in iValue2 which means im entitled for a free 2gb usage permonth and they charge me on normal charge.... its freaking crazy man.....

just freaking mad i tell ya

Looks like we are hearing the same angry stories over n over again but sadly there are still a bunch of Maxis supporter whom still insist they PAY Maxis for their excellent coverage in 3G !

No disrespect to anyone,but i think most of the data usage problems occur because of users' own ignorance (n some by telcos)..mostly these problems happens on the 1st billing cycle,some on the 2nd billing cycle,seldom@none exist on the 3rd onwards billing cycle..me, fortunately been the victim for only the 1st bill n no problem on the next onwards bill.

Most people usually attack telcos directly(same as me at 1st) without knowing how they actually calculated the bill..after some reading n gaining knowledge 'bout the problem,i recalculate the bill n finally have figure it out..so,thats why i have no problem with my bills afterwards..not that i dont wanna help, but most of the solutions actually have been answer right here in the forum,its only the matter of u WANNA READ IT THOROUGHLY OR NOT.

Basically,these r the summary of the solutions:

1) watch out for the 1st bill,the usage is based on pro-rated (how many days since u activate the line)..if u think u can get free 1gb of internet usage where u activated the line 1 day b4 thebill cycle,THINK AGAIN genius,

2) REALLY get to know ur smart phones,explore n enjoy..turn off any unnecessary push notifications, location service,running-on-background apps etc (u guys r smart,u'll know it when u see it),

3) use wifi as much as possible,especially for heavy downloaders..turn off 3g n cellular data when doing so or turn on airplane mode..data loaded with wifi WILL NOT be added to the usage stats,

I admit,some r telcos fault..like why didnt they told users sooner about the 1st bil..they should've done so..or like why the heck they didnt send users reminders when the unbilled@billed amount(wutever!) have reached the credit limit? But hell,sometimes we have to learn it the cruel way,dont u agree?

So,start blaming oursleves b4 blaming others..that way,wecan truly learn about our smartphones.

Btw,i'm using iphone 4 with ivalue1 plus my bills r within rm70-120 per month..fyi, my 1st bill was rm364.90(unbilled was rm800++) coz my genius brain thought that i can get 1gb free data usage for activation on the 26th(19 days to bill cycle)..moreover,i consider myself to FULLY UTILIZE my iphone 4..i love my iphone 4 on maxis

Dude,i suggest u clear the air from maxis 1st..u complained to us may not solve your issue of that massive billing..why dont u go to any maxis centre n hear them out 1st..of course if i was u,i'd be pissed..but to be clear,hear their side of the story n maybe it can AT LEAST give u an overview of how to stop it.

If that doesn't work out,then u should instruct them to terminate your line there(n make a police report for that matter) n its your choice to use other provider..don't mean to disrespect u,but judging through your comments posted,i dont see u do anything to solve it..how bout u learn the whys,donts n hows(of your particular case)..that way,u can have new knowledge that may help u(even others) in the future..complaining (here in particular) wont do u any good..its about time for u to listen n think..complaining here,u will have responses like e.g. change to other telco, or i told u so etc.

Seriously,i'm sorry about what happened to u n sorry if this comment offend u..but my intentions r for your own good
