To be honest, this thread is beginning to sound like a DiGi Fan club instead of MNP discussion.

It's hard to determine the churn rate (the rate where people port to which operator and so on) because there is no official report about it yet so far. Who's to say which operator is gaining, or losing customers? It's a bit unfair to say that Maxis is sinking just because you and your uncle and grandma jumped ship from Maxis to other operators.

As a matter a fact, MNP hasn't even gone nationwide. There are a lot of factors to consider. Some operators might lack coverage in areas outside of Klang Valley, and may decide to port their number to operators which may offer coverage. And then there's the competition of better call packages, benefits, value added services, quality of the service etc etc.

I'm referring to no one's relative in particular, no worries. When it's official, there's always a time and chance for every telco to assess their 'losses', improve, kick up the level of competition, and win the customers back. That's the main benefit of MNP.

I believe this is where we have a valid discussion, backed by facts and knowledge, instead of making blank accusations at certain party just because you don't like their advertisment/package plan.

I'm just merely pointing out that it's way too early to make conclusive statements here, like Maxis is going down and all that, just by looking at the trial period, even before MNP go nationwide.

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.
