For prepaid customer:

When you reach 3Gb of usage, your session will be disconnected and you will receive an SMS notification. Subsequently you can call customer service to terminate the existing subscription and you can then proceed to purchase a new 3GB package. You will be charged for the new subscription. This applies for 500MB and 1.5GB passes as well.
For postpaid customer:

The session will not be disconnected. Subsequent usage after 3GB will be charged at 0.05 sen/KB but charges will be capped at a maximum charge of RM250 per bill. This applies for 500MB and 1.5GB passes as well.


Subsequent usage for Monthly Pass will be charged RM0.005/KB.

Packages :
from hotlink website (prepaid SIM)

from maxis website (pospaid line SIM)

You should update with the offer package including the usage data limit. But how to make sure that you will not over use and also you wont use over the allocated time limit?

Great news~!!! the charging in postpaid line is thru your unbilled amount~ and not as a value added services... so for those who has under utilize monthly commitment this is a GREAT way to spend your bill~

no need to replace sim... all sim can all you need is just activate ur 3g services by dialing *136# then SEND/CALL
in a while the said actiavated then u can choose which data plan u want

nope.. my credit now is still RM0.65 n i repeatedly doing this n i have downloaded 400MB already

e220 modem can use but u need to create new profile since the preinstalled setting APN is maxisbb but prepaid bb use APN = unet

Don't use postpaid for their prepaid broadband. If you read their FAQ, postpaid customers will NOT be disconnected once their subscription expires, but will be charged instead at 10sen/10kb (peak) or 5 sen /10kb (off-peak) rate.

I also noticed the mobile broadband for postpaid customers is put under "value added service" but I called up maxis they say it will be charged as part of the monthly credit. Can anyone clarify?
*
it will include inside your unbilled amount (like normal call/sms charges) it wont be charge as VAS like extraten or extrasms... you can see that let say today u take 1hour (RM2) for sure next morning you can notice RM2 is added in you unbilled amount

QUOTE(Maxieos @ Sep 25 2009, 04:59 PM)
I wanted to ask , let say subscribe fro 1 hour RM2 .How does it count ?
Once I connect , I consider already RM 2 ? let say connection very poor it auto disconnect how does it count ?

Let say today raining but I wanted to access the internet

8:00PM connect , (due to raining having a poor speed , it got disconnect)
8:15PM (auto disconnect)
- Usage 15 min , Wait until 9:30PM rain stop
9:30PM connect back  , use for 30 min
- Usage 45min left 15 min

Tomorrow at night 8:30 connect to the internet.

8:30PM connect
8:45PM disconnect

Usage = 1 hour

So will it charge RM 2 for the 1 hour usage ?
*
not like that.... it will count FROM THE MOMENT the SMS says your transaction is SUCCESSFUL... in that sms it will display the one hour period STARTING time and END TIME and also usage

upon 90% usage of your data quota or 10minits before your 1hour expires (whichever comes 1st)... 1SMS reminder will come to notify you

So that means once the sms activated , no matter if I browse 10 min or 5 min it will continue counting for 1 hour .?
