rm500 quite expensive mate..

termination fee?

yeah...penalty fees to terminate the contract..

Then better I pay the 100+ bucks

yeah mate..agree with u...better stay with celcom...

Whew, just finished reading THIRTY pages! of this thread.

*Mata sakit*

Anyway, wanna ask, I'm currently on Digi postpaid, is it possible to switch straightaway to Celcom's iPhone plan? Despite me reading everything, I've only heard one person say that the Blue Cube person said can... the rest of you switched to Celcom's postpaid plan first? Why the sheer inconvenience?? Still new customer what, if I MNP from Digi to Celcom...

Also, if I'm on on the i98 plan and wish to upgrade to i148 after a few months, will there be any penalty incurred?

Your prompt replies would be deeply appreciated.

penalty will be imposed even u want to upgrade ur plan

Same thing here. My first month bill is RM158, i was like wtf??? When i call them they said some prorate bullshit, but i check online, also got extra charges on the data usage like RM9? wtf man

But in the end they said 1st month bill is sure expensive wan, but after that, it will go back to normal...

Should i wait my hardcopy bill then only go to their branch to complain again?

if i were u, i will make complain till they justify all the thing that insert in ur bill...

i took celcom i148 plan.. my 1st bill RM272, second bill RM127.. i'm happy with that plan.. no bill shock..=D

Should be okay as what aregip posted. You only get a Bill shock for 1st month hehe

im using prepaid xpax number now, can i subcribe to the exec plan with the existing number i got? whta is the process hu?

sure u can mate..just go to any blue cube or celcom centre n ask them to convert ur prepaid number to exec plan..n they will give u new sim card with the existing number..just need to register with ur desire plan...

Hi guys, check with you all. does celcom give any free gift upon sigining up the package (like Maxis giving the leather pouch)?

depend on each stores mate..if they have stocks sure they will give to u..

guys.. friend of mine got irattle issue.. his phone 3 months old.. so, if he send to celcom, he will get replacement set or celcom will repair it..?

celcom will replace it with the replacement unut..BTW does the irattle give rise to other problem on its phone function??

didnt give a problem.. but the sound you know..

hehe...yeah i know...u can give a try to claim the replacement unit..if can share with us here mate..

Unfortunately I read most of us may be perplexed at the Celcom bill. Let me share mine on the i98 plan. Please note that I did not exceed any calls or minutes from the free given one (eg 200 SMSes, 100 mins offnet calls, etc)

1st month bill : RM 435
- Upfront Charge : RM 300 (remember the deposit you paid?)
- i98 for the month : RM 98
- Prorated i98 - RM 28
- Stamp Fee - RM 10
- 6% Tax for i98 bill : RM 6
- 6% Tax (one-time) for upfront Charge : RM 18
- TOTAL before Rebate : RM 460
- Monthly Rebate : RM 25 (knock off from deposit for next 12 months)
- Net Bill : RM 435.

2nd & 3rd Month Bill :
- i98 Charge : RM 98
- Service Charge : RM 4.38
TOTAL before rebate RM 102.38
- Monthly Rebate : RM 25 (again knock from Deposit)
Net Bill : RM 77.38

As you can see there is a high charge in the 1st month of the RM 300 deposit as well as whatever prorate charges you have. Subsequent months is much much much lower if you use within the limits.

Those who receive the SMSes stating that use up to 50% of Credit Limit, it is probably just the RM 300 charge being prorated throught the month. I also got it but I didnt bother because while their system is not that customer friendly, they still did not charge me extra or whatsoever.

Lastly, maybe a good experience to share. Went to China 2 months ago and I got a Data charge of RM 385.92 for downloading about 20 MB of data. Guess what, i got the whole thing waived off because of their datas unlimited roaming package and still pay only RM 77.38 for that month.

Btw, I not any particular telco supporter (I used all lines before) but most things are explainable. Sometimes their Customer communication may just not be that great.
