Very simple. Horrible phone service. Always dropping line, forever not having full bar coverage, horrible phone call quality especially on highways, e.g. kesas, etc etc. I wasn't the only one complaining so I decided enough is enough. So why not give Celcom a try, if celcom bad, DIGI haha its good for us consumers, the power of choice.

BTW all the Celcom sifus, do you experience this? One thing i love about Celcom is that they have different bands for their 3G and GSM lines, so lets say my house 3G line is very weak, e.g. 1 bar, and when i call and the line goes really bad it automatically switches to G (GSM) and hereby gets full bar. But when after switch, although its full bar, the call might be a bit choppy so both sides cannot hear properly. I have to turn off my dual (auto on my HTC touch pro) mode and then it will be ok. Does not happen too often but nonetheless abit irritating. But I love the fact that it will switch to a better mode for best calls.

Also... do you guys know that until now the 40 hours max per line for Celcom 5+1 package is not in effect yet? I called Celcom call centre to inquire about this to confirm and they told me it has not taken effect yet. So until they inform, its still unlimited voice,video and sms =)

Added on December 29, 2008, 11:55 amSigh... today the Celcom line is really bad. As of this morning, even when I changed to GSM mode already, the line is very choppy. My gf one even worse. Hopefully its only today. I called up the celcom helpline and they could not even hear me properly. Anyone else facing this problem?

i'm a user of celcom and digi... both got it's pros and cons... no way there would be NO choppy lines in any telco... it really depends on the place u r at and the signal at tat area are strong or weak... but i really can say that celcom line are really wider among all the rest...

sometimes my friends maxis got no line but my celcom to my surpris have signal! so does digi... it really depends, hard to say which is good and which is not...

but with mnp, u can try till you satisfied lor... hehe...

Haha ok. Thanks, but hopefully its not often lo. Its my house so if my house forever got choppy then i'll have to be pi**ed =)

Do you mind stating the pros and cons of celcom and digi since you have the best of both worlds?

my celcom rates so exp. thinking of switching to digi or maxis. sms to other telco RM0.20. calls also exp. plus how to stop their farkin sms spam?

pros n cons of each one? hahaa! celcom cons? it's expensive! hahaaa! and that's why i have digi too... it's cheaper to call any telco as it's in flat rate...

DO NOT SWITCH HOT HOTLINK THEIR RATES ARE cheating their customer.

Dare say 33 cent thats only if you reload RM30 or else if you call other telco its 49cent and nevermind its 60cent block so if u call someone and enter voice mail and within 1 sec you end they charge you 49cents

but hotlink is good to SMS same network. 600 free sms and counting.

free sms is a good thing, but unfortunately its only for on-net sms. i heard some people already got thousands of un-used free sms in their account..

suprising as i updating my phonebook few days ago (removing non-important contact, checking duplicate contact, etc).. i realise that actually majority in my phonebook now is celcom number (including ported from maxis/hotlink).

before this is like 30% celcom and 40% maxis.. but now, 40% celcom and 30% maxis.. this is great, i can get 1sen sms (with uox) to more number nowadays.. and they're some of my friend 'in the process' of porting out from maxis/hotlink.. i hope the percentage can increase to 50% celcom

how to stop my EPL alert on my celcom line?

tq

Hope someone here can help me here...

My father still using Celcom 250 Minutes Plan.

I want to change the plan to Celcom Executive 50 Plan... will there be any charges when I change it?

My sister and I currently using Maxis hotlink prepaid and wanted to change to Celcom Family 1+5 under my dad account.
Is it possible to do that?
Any charges?
Can we keep our number (maxis number)?
I try to look through the net regarding prepaid to supplementary line but

Any official data for season 4Q 2008 other than your phonebook?

nope.. official report for 4Q only will be published on next february/march.. but for 3Q 2008..

- maxis 11.xx milion users
- celcom 8.25 milion users
- digi 6.8 milion users

but it depends on your location, your friends, etc.. i heard some of us had almost all his/her fren are using digi..

and myphone books only contains less than 500 contacts.. eventhough now my phonebook majority number is celcom, it doesn't reflect all malaysia mobile user but then, it still a good think for me, enjoying 1sen sms to more number with my UOX..

Hi all... anyone know how to check my unbilled amount? Any special commands to dail?

some times charge very high

Nop. CEP 50 package = RM50 monthly commitment fee. If you used less than RM50, you have to pay RM50, if you used more than RM50, you paid what you used. There's no bringing forward the credit to next month.

Yes, u can change to celcom Executive Plan 50 for free. Please call careline to change it.

second question, not sure. call 1111

celcom uox is the best for prepaid

Thanks for your explanation, celcom viva

I bet you know about CEP 50 discount rate? In case you not sure -

Monthly domestic call/sms/video call/Pay per use internet/data usage > RM60 will get 10% discount.
" > RM80 will get 20% discount.
" > RM150 will get 30% discount.
