today i go to blue cube outlet at pavillion to change my number from maxis to celcom..

but they said i must clear my bill from maxis first before can port my number..

why celcom like this?? for sure maxis will sent to us our last bill right??why celcom need us to pay first before porting??

my friend port from maxis to digi without no problem...within 5 hour already can use...no need clear any bill from maxis...

can anyone explain why so hart to port to celcom..??

Switch to DiGi then.

bcz celcom dont want you maybe? haha.. i dont know, but its much easier when u change to hotlink 1st from prepaid then go MNP.

when will digi will get 3g? If digi have 3g for sure i support digi.

Last time i heard its early next year.

guys, i have enquiries here. bout getting a phone, good call rates to singapore and also MNP.

rite now im on Hotlink. and i wish to switch to a postpaid and get a phone together with it.

what if, im getting my postpaid plan with digi for its cheaper phone bundled, and i wanna switch back to maxis' postpaid immediately. is that possible?

i call and they said 1-2 week. i went straight to the centre and they said i can offset my account around the same period.
btw already got people get the cheque delivered to their address in 3 weeks. so for me it's already impressive and it's acceptable.
if u just wait for the system to sort it itself (just like what i did previously) then u'll receive it in minimum of 3 months.

why u want to do tat?

DiGi offer the best IDD rate to 30 countries including singapore compared to maxis.

DiGi postpaid also offer hand phone bundle where u can get the phone for as low as 99sen

Well... i assume you are on Postpaid.
If you are.... Yes, postpaid users must clear off the payment 1st before you can MNP to others.
It is not only Celcom, all Telcos are having that "rules". It is one of the MNP Rules & Regulations indeed.

And, your friend successfully ported to DiGi without problem ? is he/she on Prepaid or Postpaid ?
Normally prepaid... it is regardless to how much $$ you have in there, once MNP, all the credit will be gone.

Hope that clears your doubts

yup u need to clear first your bill before can perform porting.
btw if your current bill is bearable by your deposit (e.g. having deposit of RM100 while the current bill is below RM100) then they will just deduct the amount before the transfer is done. and the remaining balance will be sent (better request for it) on cheque via mail.
having maxis postpaid changed to hotlink prepaid will set u around RM30. plus need to personally go to maxis centre (not the appointed reseller). and have to be eligible before can perform it (need to be on postpaid for at least 6 months). so straightly porting should be the simplest path to follow.
btw sometimes an appointed reseller will tell u some BS. got someone in my family that want to port straight from maxis postpaid to another telco's prepaid, but the reseller told a BS story that they can't perform that. end up he checks and perform MNP via internet and it already being processed.
the cheap phones does come with contract. please consult the MNP terms and conditions. u cant port number that's still on contract.
and remember though that contract doesnt only apply on plans that comes with free/cheap phones. some plan requires u to sign for contract (myb 24 months). u can check with your current plan before proceeding. if u r on contract, u can only portover after the contact period lapses. or alternatively if there is some way to perform early termination u can proceed with that. btw it will not be worth to get a phone and straightly switch the network.

Yes, for postpaid need to clear the outstanding bill but if you are stuck with the latest bill and if it hasn't reached; you can still proceed with MNP and settle it once you receive the last bill.

not to clear your unbilled amount but the last bill amount which is due for payment. As for the unbilled amount, you would have to wait the for the bill from Maxis..

today this digi dealer make his payment , he is still using maxis line ...

hehe...maybe he settling some bills for his customers who are changing to digi..

wow...seems like those customers are clearing up their bills to get ready to switch to DiGi

Exactly.

I plan to switch over from maxis to celcom ... what do you guys think?

Great idea, Maxis sucks ... bigtime!!!!!!!

no matter u switch to DiGi or celcom, sure is much better than Maxi$

Agree! Maxi$ is the worst in term value for money service. Between Celcom and DiGi, generally DiGi is better except for their UNIVERSITY package which CELCOM trounce DiGi big time.
