What it means by taking a company private is that the company is no longer listed in the KLSE stock exchange but it doesn't mean that the company does not have to satisfy its investors. Today, Maxis is still not wholely owned by one single individual/entity. Don't get the "private" thing wrong my friend.

Among other entities in Malaysia which is not listed (private) is also Celcom, Shell, etc but does that means that the company is not doing well ?

Maxis might be in trouble today for its inability to provide good customer support all these years. Customers loves the brand and their nice Maxis number but since they now have a choice ... they want to move away to someone else who provides better CS/pricing. Try applying the same principle to our automotive industry and you'll be able to imagine it.

that is true... i believe there are many maxis users want to terminate their service but they love their number.. but by having this (MNP)... they can change the provider without worrying and changing their number...

And that literally spells the end for Maxis. Haha.

Digi, always the smarter choice.

Celcom, Shell not listed? Celcom delisted and then relisted under TMI, and Shell listed long long ago.
Maxis was delisted after buy-back by Ananda Krishnan.

Haha! My bad then, but that's the situation.

TMI is not Celcom .. it is TM's international operations listed entity. Celcom is now a private entity.
Shell Refining Co is the listed entity in the KLSE but not the holding company itself which is Shell. (If I'm not mistaken)

Yes ... Maxis used to be listed but now it is not.

Added on October 3, 2008, 7:39 pmWell ... all of Maxis competitors stand to gain from Maxis poor handling of its customer base. And this is not limited to just Digi .... it's anyone game now to attract the various customer segments into their telco.

I'm always on the road, seldom in Malaysia but I want to keep my number. Maxis's V50 plan charges me RM50 but I hardly use when I'm overseas. Usually just to receive SMS and calls.

Any suggestion on which plan shall I port to? I'm ok with prepaid or postpaid.

get digi prepaid and activate 365 days validity.

No hassle No commitment no worries.

Is it possible for me to get a new 012-XXXXXXX number but I register under digi ?

Nope .... new number you still need to go over to Maxis but you can port the number to Digi later.

Go buy a hotlink simpack prepaid and after activate go port over to digi

Digi prepaid is great for SMS while traveling overseas - free to receive, RM0.99 to send back to Malaysia. 365-day reload validity for RM30 fee.

Maxis is the same for 1st 2 criteria, but how about the third one?

HOtlink u need to pay RM33 as fee then within the first 6months u need to successful reload RM 30 for the validity to last 1 year.


HOtlink 365 validity = total spend RM63
Digi 365 validity = total spend RM 30

Thanks for the info!

But if I would want to select a particular 012 - number the only way is to go for maxis postpaid then switch to digi right?

celcom 1 year validity = fee RM 30
celcom 2 year validity = fee RM 50
reload rm30 first 6 month

But watchout for contract,certain postpaid plan got min contract period.

Just got my porting (for postpaid) completed yesterday. Finally all my numbers are ported after a (almost) 3 weeks wait.
