I have ported out from Maxis about 3 to 4 years ago. I was so angry with the customer service, not really the network quality that I finally decided porting out... I ported to Celcom given the fact that it brags being the widest coverage in Malaysia (FYI Danum Valley only Maxis has coverage as reported by my wife on a working visit there). However, with its widest coverage, I find it very frustrating that when I am in a middle of an important call to my wife (my Celcom sub-line), it gets cut off. Sometimes it goes through then, just talk 2 - 3 words, putus again. Then worse still, in the middle of a conversation where important information is required on a land-line, putus again. Then need to go through the whole automated voice machine again. So frustrated that I decided to try DiGi.

Before starting the process of porting in, I bought a prepaid and test it. It seems fine but some kampong, the internet very kuat. Some stretch, langsung tak ada. I am worried that I made the wrong decision to port to DiGi... Very concern on coverage issues.

Your experience gentlemen?

then just go back to maxis la

negative, people keep on telling me Maxis quality very bad now.... a lot of drop calls...

Since you have ported to different network before, just pick the best 'quality' network in the area that you used the most, for instance your home. Then grab another simcard of different operator that tested with better connectivity whenever you're outstation or back kampong.

yah.. but my parents also under my line, so.. erm... they don't like the idea of switch here and there

Nowadays there's Mobile Number Portability (MNP).
You can change any Telco you wished to, but your numbers remained the same.
For example, I got a 012 number, but its now belonging to Digi, instead of traditionally said Maxis.

So u have tested DiGi via prepaid card, test it with other telcos as well, then once you've decided, u just change the Telco via MNP to maintain the ownership of your number.

there is no prefect network. sure have some shortcoming
best solution is to have dual sim phone

I got no problems with celcom. Dont like maxis as their call or internet sucks. digi not bad nowadays, this surprised me.

Using Maxis now, dropped calls are quite often.

Dropped calls on maxis is very frequent especially on the move at the North South expressway. Disappointing

In bolehland, they all have the same quality. You switch where also same .

I kinda agree with this. Ive used all Maxis, Celcom & Digi & all left a lot to be desired.

4 telco i had been use before,(within 1 year)
My experience,
Maxis sometime will drop call at outside,and good in office or in house(not my house and office only).

Digi less drop call at outside,but drop call too often in house and office(not my house and office only),even i pass road below highway bridge!

Celcom is good coverage and stable signal in kampong area,in klang valley,so far so good.But the customer service really sucks!

Umobile-sometime will drop call when my phone network setting using 3G mode(3G not stable,keep changing 2G/3G always.

conclusion,in malaysia,no perfect telco!!

Sad but true

my answer to you is NONE

tested 2 telco, from maxis to celcom (3weeks) then back to maxis :

maxis : call drop and sound breaking very often, even in klang valley.. make call when in car? bttr dont or u be mad.. lol.. as for data plan, far better than celcom.. wide LTE coverage and quite stable..

celcom : been their cust for 3 weeks, call is good.. no prob making call when moving around.. but their internet is very very poor (cyberjaya, seri kembangan, KV).. cant even get stable 3G/HSDPA.. dont even mention LTE..

since internet is more important for me, am returned to red clan..

Not sure where you can find the perfect telco.. When I was oversea their mobile packages are much much complicated.. Calling their call center is not free either..

That's because they provide quality cell network with excellent coverage. I sometimes can't even make a call from my house.

Used Giffgaff 3G prepaid plan at £18/mo (promo, original price £20/mo) while in the UK, got unlimited text, unlimited 3G data.

Full coverage mostly everywhere went.

Hope we'll see this kind of plan in Malaysia.
