last time 012 can only call 012 or any telco it took them awhile to implement it too. or 019 only 019

so we can just change provider with same number?

Yeap.

we need more news coverage and not let them take back their words...

yups!...yups!...that's all the discussion is about...

i tink maxis will be lose bcs maxis call rates very high
but mnp release also good bcs it can benefit our people 2 get lower call rates.i tink if maxis no wan the user change 2 another telco.better it reduces the call rates...so can fight with digi. digi is always smarts choice

hope mnp will bring more benefits to consumer....but coverage play important role as well...

that was SMS isn't it?

nice setup you have going

Do we need to change sim card also if we change provider?

hmmm...i think that should be the basic of everything for telco...unless they introduced some kind of sim-hacked...
maybe others mind have other thoughts?...

haha i want to be a 016 maxis

anyway, i think better for competition among telco operators also right?

still no use. it's our flip-flop Govt le....

How do you know which service someone is on after mnp? Will they notify us if the active10/FnF etc numbers change?

waiting eagerly for this to materialize..
can't wait to see what promotions the telcos will cook up.

Probably you just have to ask your friend.

When I visit the USA, I use a prepaid SIM from AT&T. Part of the deal is unlimited free calls to all other AT&T customers. But I never know until after I talk to someone if they were on AT&T - if I see that the last call cost was $0.00, they were. Otherwise not; no way to tell from the number, and no other indication given either.

18-08-2008: Mobile numbers to be in 11 digits

Email us your feedback at fd@bizedge.com


KUALA LUMPUR: Mobile phone users may soon find themselves having to deal with an additional digit at the end of their numbers after the implementation of mobile number portability (MNP), which is slated for implementation later this year.

According to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the new 3+8 structure will only take effect after the implementation of MNP, which allows mobile phone users to retain their phone number when they switch providers. A notice on the impending change of the number structure was issued in April.

Through an amendment to the Numbering and Electronic Addressing Plan which came into effect in April, the existing 3+7 structure of mobile phone numbers for cellular services such as those offered by Celcom, DiGi and Maxis will be expanded to 3+8.

The plan and its amendment fall under the jurisdiction of the MCMC.

Which is just awesome. And also, it's not the business of anyone else but me who my mobile carrier is.

Huh? All the VVIP numbers will become normal numbers.

unless you go to the telco HQ and "slow-talk" with them...

More competition among the telcos, expect more advertisement wars and better pricing structure. I'm been with Maxis since 5 years ago, time to change perhaps? Hopefully this will reduce the amount of spam and scam sms-es too. Imagine one telco couldn't stop people from stealing your credits, while the other have no such thing. Everyone will start ship jumping. The thing is I'm afraid there might be a fee for it, an expensive one.
