QUOTE(ftan @ Feb 11 2016, 09:09 PM) Umobile coverage is just ok around this area. I have the prepaid version. Cheap but not necessarily reliable. Some area the speed is crawling but with my maxis, it's great. But lately, I noticed Maxis dropping to 3G frequently. I also noticed when my unifi is intermittently down, then Maxis is also down to 3G and starts crawling. Happens quite often esp the last few weeks. Are they linked (leasing the lines, etc)? Yes, I noticed the maxis 4G dropping to 3G every now and then but so far I've not had problems with my unifi. Could it be the area? I live in Klang and so far no issues

And free 20GB data (4GB x 5 months) Yup, iPhone sales have declined globally so Apple is probably getting Telcos to help out. That said, it's still a very expensive plan (Maxis One Plan RM158 minimum) compared to what other telcos are offering.

Hello all! My 4S is currently almost dead anytime soon, wish to upgrade my phone.
Just check out Maxis zerolution plan seem interesting, but not really sure whether is worth.
I'm Digi user, but last time I bought phone directly from Apple and sign Digi plan.

You potentially can save up to RM1000 or more with a contract from maxis but bear in mind two very important things - you will be tied to a 24 months contract and maxis has the most expensive plan compared to all other telcos.

Can't resists to reply, seeing the trouble and problem you went through, I rather spend the additional RM200-300 to buy a local set from telco (w/o contract) or buy from local authorized. Peace of mind and warranty. Never ever fully trust 3rd party reseller, unless you can online and check on the spot to verify the unit serial & model, specs, etc.

if you monthly commitment is more than RM150 then Maxis Zerolution might worth for you. Otherwise, do look for other Telco or promotion by Apple Reseller from time to time.

Well, firstly, my apologies if this is slightly out of topic, but I'm trying to gather as many disgruntled maxis customers (especially if your contract is nearly or already over) to let your feelings be known to maxis about their recently introduced plan especially for East Malaysians. http://www.lowyat.net/2016/97911/maxis-now...-for-rm68month/There's also a couple of threads in the Maxis Telco thread with regards to this: - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=79074716https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3890167Do leave some comments (civilized ones only, of course) if you feel inclined to. I'm still under contract for another 18 months or so having signed up during the 6S Plus launch, so I know I'm screwed, ha ha ha... But hopefully this will help others who are considering maxis. I'm definitely porting out once my contracts end. I choose sucky service over lack of integrity at any given moment. This post has been edited by attw: Mar 12 2016, 09:58 PM
