At last i found this topic!!!

er..im trapped in this situation.

i got myself the 5 months contract, free 3G modem package from maxis last month. paid rm150 for everything for the contract and got my modem with the simcard. from my own understanding, it is unlimited 3G for me, but once it reaches 1.5GB quota, i suffer the speed loss.i dun mind.

however, it's 1 month then, and i received this invoice to my fixed address, so i check online again..same statement.

my question is:
1) i tot it is a 1 time hassle package, where rm150 for 5months is the contract..how come still got unpaid value there?
2) isn't it unlimited usage till 1.5GB or FOC surfing with speed loss then?
3) anyone can explain to me how i elaborate this statement? hmm.gif

i got confused now..shud'nt it be rm150 package, which i get my rebate rm28 per month every month?consider it deducts from my account of rm150, coz its a 5 month contract, where the rm150 acts like a prepaid coupon to deduct rm48 every month.

howcome my rm28*5 + free modem (limited promo) package still need me to pay extra? i tot the whole thing is unlimited surfing but with 1.5GB of 3G speed and fair use policy after 1.5GB? Is it about within 1.5GB = free; after 1.5GB + fair usage policy = charge me accordingly?

Let say i paid rm16.20 this time, then howabout my next month? still with the rm150 package? or i need pay more already?no more playing with prepaid deductions?

argh!! what the hell is this?? unlimited but with hidden terms????

i think i got the direction already.

refering back to my statement above:

rm150 <--ignore it as it is just part of their process of statement.
rm27 <--this should be the deduction of the rebate, which should eventually be rm30, but because the usage is not until 1 month long, so based of days of usage, they recalculate the loss of the deduction through percentage, which is rm27.which means i underutilized rm3 which is actually 3 days?
rm16.20 <--eventually this is a standing amount which i should pay for the previous month. but the full amount should be rm18. as rm30+18 = 48 (which is my package value). but then it only cost me rm16.20 because similar to the case above, i underutilized 3 days, so through percentage, they deduct from rm18 into rm16.20.

am i right?

so it aint fully prepaid style? means i did received unlimited usage, even after 1.5GB, they won't charge me a cent, but as a drill, rm30(upfront fee deduction, so called the rebate) + rm18 (standing amount per month, this is what i should pay everymonth for this package? which it make rm48 per month.
