No new leaked firmwares for a while now.

I'm having withdrawal symptoms from lack of flashing    Even to the extent of wanting to flash JP3 just to try 2.2 again. I remembered it was quite buggy and difficult for day to day use.

Cmon Samsung. More firmwares!!!

that already narrows down your possibilities. if you got barred today, that can only mean certain activities that happen between 10pm last nite and this morning. should be easy for you to recall and fight them. btw, can you view your call/sms/mms/data details on the maxis website like we can on Digi?

anyway it's all crap that maxis is serving to it's customers. they can always throttle/send reminders etc once your usage exceed or nears your limits. but they won't, they will happily let you incur as much as you like (while you are happily watching youtube or something)

don't tell me such an advance tech company has trouble implementing such software, but they won't do it coz they can get away with charging more from their customers' "mistakes". well technically you can't win becoz it's all in black and white. you did exceed your limits after all. but what they are doing, while legally right is morally wrong. that's why i won't support companies like this.

i only bought the sgs from them becoz i needed a phone badly at that time and sgs was attractive. but i cancel the contract almost immediately and paid off the bloodsucker. in fact, ended up paying less than rrp and got proper warranty, and got out of the big M's chains ....mlm to M......LOL

ya this explanation is more logical of what happen. eventhough your 3g watchdog write 100mb only, on a day how much have you use? if one day you use 100mb.. 90mb = 90000kb (rough estimate) x 0.10 = rm90

I'm on my second bill since signing up for SGS. so they count by month for my bill. I agree that Vampire M has a lot of hidden charges and T&C which they did not inform users whether unintentionally / purposely.
Maxis cust service says they can't check how much i've used exactly. I rmb reading in v2/v1 that someone faced the same problem.

Hey guys, MAXIS is such a bloodsucker. i'm on the values 50 talk plan and the 1.5Gb data for rm 78 (rm68 after rm10) rebate. yday i checked thru *100# of my usage was rm 45.65. (my billing date is 20th every month ). this morning i woke up to find my line barred. apparently my usage is now RM154++ eventhough i did not exceed usage of data plan (3G watchdog shows my usage at 100mb only!!). maxis cust service says its due to "you dunno which telco you're calling to. tat's y u exceed". just wanna share a word of caution. beware of the big M company..

M thinking of getting Galaxy S via Maxis package. Should I reconsider? It seems Maxis is not a good Telco. Any sifu here can advice. What about Digi? is it better in terms of service and coverage?

My case is exactly the same as yours except that my billing date is on the 14th.  I'm with Maxis on Value 50 and 500MB data plan.  My credit limit is only RM100 as I'm a port-in new customer.  On the 13th this month, just before I went to bed at around 11pm the 3G watchdog showed that my data usage was around 280MB.  BTW I'm always very cautious about my data usage knowing that M is the bloodsucker should I exceed my plan's limit.  However my line was barred when I woke up in the morning on the 14th.  Upon checking with bloodsucker M, I discovered that my unbilled amount was RM395!  Further investigation showed that my data usage exceeded 500MB by 50MB plus.  How on earth could my data usage surge to almost 100% of what I've been using for the past one month in just one freaking night?  So the rest is history.  I have no choice but to pay the bloodsucker as I need to use the phone.  But I have made up my mind that upon expiration of my 1-year contract, I'll definitely swicth to other telco!  Yes!  Beware of the big M company!

I think new 2.1 leak firmware released yesterday. XXJM1

My advise just pay the rm500 penalty and get out from M. you already lost rm 300 for that month only. wonder what happen on next month till 1 year contract expired. if you compare, rm500 is nothing to what you been/going to loss.

the moment they say this, you know it's bs. can't check how much you have used, but can know when you exceed your credit limit...this is joke of the century...LOL

check back your usage, if you feel you have a strong case and they can't provide detail info on when exactly or which number exactly you call that incurred such a huge sudden jump, you should bring this case to dispute (file with consumer court). that's what i advise my friend when she kena rm300 bill...but eventually she paid coz she said dont want trouble. aiyah..if everyone think like that then the M can happily continue with it's practise.

if the usage is count by daily instead of monthly (500/30), then i think we should be more careful of our usage.

but, to me, this is a fraud, as this is not mention in anywhere but with 500MB/month as the promotion campaign.

i'm working in telco line, so, the easier and most efficient way to complain and maxis will definitely reply to you, is .... lodge a complain to MCMC. in case you guys do not know, there is a complain page in mcmc website, just input there, maxis will definitely reply to you on the matter.

like 988fm DJ case, is all due to mcmc taking action after complain by someone.

thus, in case, of any unsatisfactory of bill, i think we should lodge complain to mcmc instead of talking to the customer service, because eventually the cs is just sucks, it won't help us to settle our problem.

Is RM500 nett ? or will they add on processing fees etc?

Bro, u can always buy the SP & case online, even in this LYN got few members conducting bulk purchase for these items.

No sure this will work as it just come across my mind. I went into setting>wireless..>APN, then create an empty apn acc, then i just checked it. As before this, we usually checked on Maxis (so tt we hv net access). By create an empty acc (ie no pw, no server to connect to) tt shd guaranty no hiding or quiet backgrd gprs transmission. I know there is app tt can switch off th Apn, but i tot this might work. When wanna use gprs, just go & flagged back to Maxis Apn. What u guys think of this method?
