Hey guys, I'm a Maxis user and would like to ask if I get charged for receiving international calls and sms from mobile services of other countries? Not a Maxis to Maxis thing via International Roaming. From that I understand that some charges are made. And I've called the Maxis Customer Service Center but the woman on the line sounded like she didn't know what she was doing.
I apologize if such topic has been done several years ago, feel free to link it to me if it answers my question. Thanks.

I been told last time that some SMS is chargeable by the receiver if he/she subscribe to it. You better check your bill. For incoming international call, as long as you're not roaming, it is not chargeable. The caller pay for it.

By not roaming you mean I'm in Malaysia when I receive the call? Or do you mean I'm not subscribed to a roaming plan? This post has been edited by AD0781: Sep 25 2009, 09:02 PM

Just to make it clear: 1) you are using Maxis 2) You are still in Malaysia 3) You receive a call / sms from somebody who is not from Malaysia but overseas If yes, you will not be charged. But be careful of smses because there are some smses which is charged reversely (charged to you instead of sender). Monitor your bills. Regards,
