I called Maxis and told them I want the RM46 plan, failing which I will port to Celcom, they tak layan, told me no such plan.
This afternoon, I ported over to Celcom first basic 38 and replied Y to confirm porting, 1hour later Maxis called and offer me the RM46 plan.

ok, tmr i go drop by nearest non-maxis center and try

Could be? Haha.

Yea, just port and reply Y, Maxis will counter offer.
But better you port in the morning so that Maxis CS sempat call you in the afternoon before going to pasar Ramadan

I reply Y and maxis say goodbye to me.No counter offer for me.Sad...

I think the counter offer only happened starting from July. When did you port?

yesterday...

Maxis postpaid which plan or hotlink ? What time did you reply Y?

i think it's a dangerous game to do that if you have no intention to port over in the first place

My actual intention is to get the RM46 plan. But will settle for Celcom if Maxis doesn't call to retain me.
Before porting, I bought Celcom magic sim to test on my Honor 4x dual sim dual active 4G phone side by side for 2 weeks. The result was, Celcom signal keep playing now you see, now you don't with me, whereas Maxis never have such problem. Celcom sometimes can see full bar H+ signal, but no internet connection. Not to the extend it cannot pakai at all but have to bear with the bad and erratic data connection performance.

You're a Hotlink user or Maxis Postpaid user?

not everyone will receive counter offer from maxis lo...
so port out at your own risk

What rlsk? There is no risk whatsoever. It's either you end up with Celcom 38 plan or Maxis 46 plan. Both also value for money. Of course the preferred choice for better wireless broadband experience is Maxis. The RM8 extra is for the extra 150min all networks voice call and xtra 50smses for all networks. The only advantage from Celcom plan 38 is the data carry forward feature. One still have the option to reject Maxis final counter offer and complete the porting to Celcom.

Yes. tied up for 12 months too.
History has proven that cost telecommunication will only getting cheaper as time past, therefore I believe there will be cheaper plan 12 months down the road to switch or port over.
It's better to port in the morning so that your case can be handled during working hours by Maxis's account retention team. I guess there should be a time frame to respond to Celcom MNP request.

that counter offer i think for real loyal customer, me use for 7 years...
then they call me...

Yea, make sense. me more than 10 years.
Let's wait for reports from this thread if new Maxis postpaid customers gets the counter offer to reverse this theory.
But I still think that since the porting customers already decided to commit RM38 with Celcom, no harm for MAxis to counter and tie them down with RM46/mth for another one year regardless of new postpaid, hotlink customers right ??

more people means more congestion i guess

Ops..!! maybe I shouldn't give compliment to Maxis for better 3G/4G experience over other telcos
Yes, Maxis blood sucker, removed the free call forwarding feature from all postpaid plan and charge RM3/mth as optional VAS, whereas you get call forwarding VAS for free with Celcom.

you mean plan that they (Maxis) offer huh?
that one contract, after 1 year data plan is RM68 if not mistaken, data only...
then add rm28 for call/sms

celcom may be offering it 'for life' but technically celcom can change d terms and condition anytime that they want, even tomorrow if they want to
