LYN is a discussion forum we have right to discuss. If you think we are wrong provide black and white evidence.

Discussion are on different people opinion on a subject.
For discussion sake there no such thing who malu or not?

In a discussion we should be more open to understand the many factors.
There no such thing of digi fanboy ,celcom fanboy its because that specify telco provided satisfy service to that person. Thats all


Celcom stays in business because no one covers more than them yet.
To build tower they need government approval you be the judge.



Since Maxis pulled out from the stock market now they are private they dont care who port where and where?

Now it's funny that you should ask that, because ironically I am working for an operator, just not Maxis.

It's certainly true that everyone has a right to their opinion, mine just differs because I'd rather look at the current MNP situation and comment, and perhaps provide another more neutral angle at looking at it.

However, it seems that I've stepped on some people's toe, so my apologies for it, yeah?

Cheers.

Chill people. No point arguing so much on this issue.

It's just that, judging from the responses by many people in this particular thread, they are many who are porting their numbers to Digi and many has complained about the bad customer service that Maxis has been providing for many years.

It's just a trend, not about being pro-Digi / Maxis / Celcom. Consumers these days are smarter than before and they know what they want and which offers the best values and rates while at the same time, providing good customer service.

If any network operator that has gone over the head and be ignorant, this is the price they have to pay hen MNP goes nationwide. If you are not doing anything to improve yourself, why should consumers stick with you?

Among all three network operators, the one that is going more aggressive in promoting their prepaid and postpaid service has got to be Digi, compared to Maxis and Celcom, they seem to be rather quiet.

A simple observation tells that Maxis and Celcom are afraid of losing their customers and yet they can't come up with a plan to counter Digi, hence, they decided to keep quiet about the MNP and hoped that users are too lazy to head down to the designated branch to port their numbers.

I am doing a small research for assignment purpose, hence, the active participation in this particular thread. For the past 100 replies here, many has opted to switch to Digi. It's just like that.

No offense.

Why not we move on and start discussing about MNP as October has arrived and they should be going nationwide anytime soon. Just waiting for the official word from MCMC.

Not having a flat rate across all network is what makes Hotlink users run away. After MNP is implemented nationwide, there might be no way for you to know which number is with which operator, meaning you are risking of calling to another network anytime. If the rate is flat, there will be no worries at all.

today (1st oct) will start the system lo.. look for it is it success in this system..

Today start meaning no more limit of 100 converts a day?

but today got any telco branch open? besides than those in shopping malls...
Ipoh hv only 1 service center for each telco but all not in shopping malls

yesterday just received news. the mnp will officially started on 15th october 2008 nationwide. i just got the device of porting

what sort of device?

eh? i thought it was 5th Oct?
means u can provide porting service? from any telco to any telco?

Meaning we can port without visiting the service centres? How long to process, 2 days? Would be glad if you could provide more information

that is a good sign i guess

I think come 15th Oct, the telcos are going to be busy clearing off those backlogs porting application. I still have a few numbers in the "porting queue" since the postpaid porting opened.

Aha ... then the next few months or so, it will be interesting to see which telco is now in the pole position in terms of subscribers.

I read up somewhere before that countries having done MNP will expect subscribers to move between telcos within the next 12 months before the trend stablising. Expect to see telcos improving their services within the next 12 months or so ... especially those "bleeding" their customers away to their competitiors.

Well ... my statement above is non-telco bias. It's a fair game to all now.

Yes, you got to admit, having a flat rate is definitely a viable move once MNP goes nationwide and no more prefixes for a fixed network operator. I think Digi has done that is that's is currently the best defense and attack marketing strategy.

I don't see reading it in any major newspaper, as I don't remember reading any official news from MCMC.

Definitely more than just a fair game, but also more transparent and more consumer-based plans. It's going to boil down to who can offer consumers the best rates with reasonable coverage and decent customer service. Digi has been using this approach since they joined the telecommunication field by rolling out many straight forward and no fine prints plans, flat rate, up to 11 numbers for friends and family and best of all, using the freaking effective marketing strategy ever, the Yellow Man. Sad to say, it was only recently they acquired 3G license, having to put more effort to catch up with the other two. Maxis has been a reputable one, with customer service once deemed the best among all three and widest and strongest coverage as well. Celcom, they are a rather passive player, I would say.

I wonder how U Mobile and Happy are going to survive once MNP goes nationwide. We have been too focused on Digi, Maxis and Celcom and have neglected the other two smaller players. Any comments?

Happy is under DiGi and it can survive, usually people won't port to happy and instead use it as secondary line. I think RM 0.99 for 45 minutes is something unbeatable yet. To use happy as main line? I don't think many will do it.

Guys,
still have to visit centres to port in ur numbers...bring ur ic and the owner have to walk in..
for DiGi - FOC no porting fee, within 5 working days, ,,,, ,,,,
p.m me if anyone wants to port in to Digi..i'll assist..

..u know..wat..its kinda cute too see other telco number in our system..
like today i had one customer alredi port in maxis number to digi, and when i asked his number he gave me 012...bla bla bla..
gosh..still culture shock laa

whats a 'device of porting'?

A doorway? A suitcase?

actually i don't mind the senseless operator bashing here and there.
and the facts may not be exactly accurate.
but i do enjoy coming in here to read up on what is the latest happenings on which operator is promoting what.

oh and also the reasons why people want to port out.

sorry, but what does this mean? I don't quite understand.
