Not entirely correct. This was what happened to me this morning :

1. I called up the CS at 123 and told them I wanted to speak with the loyalty team because I was seriously intending to port out but not yet initiated the porting process.
2. They did the standard account verification, created a ticket and told me someone from the Maxis would call me later.
3. Then, in the afternoon I received the call, and the guy introduced himself from Maxis and discussed about my intention to port out.
4. He then asked about how much data I wanted and presented the various available (read "counter") plans.
5. One of them is the RM68 with 5GB with unlimited call and SMS, valid for two years/24 months and no contract. Basically it's just the RM158 OnePlan  with RM90 rebated over 24 months. Same goes for the RM188 OnePlan with RM100 rebate. 
6. He further stated that during the 24 months period, I'm free to change plan or port out and there will no penalty imposed.
7. I asked for email confirmation on these T&C, he responded "can't spell these out in email" but such will be reflected in the new bill.
8. I accepted the offer, but since I was still with contract on the existing plan, I was told to pay up the remaining termination penalty cost first.
9 He then activated the new RM68 plan for me 

So, bottomline you just need to call up the CS and take it from there. 

thanks a lot mate, u save something from my wallet.. i just did mine just now.. was on surfmore 75 + supp surfmore 30..

1. called to CS at 123 asked them better plan for my account
2. he bla bla bla and said no plan can actually save my bills
3. ask him if there is any arrears amount i need to settle before PORTING OUT.
4. at this point he politely ask me to be on hold while he get someone from 'backroom team' if there is any better plan to offer
5. rest sama macam atas but i told him i need something for my supp. he offer maxis one share 48 per month.
6. so basically mine will be 5gb share between both lines (i set to main 4gb + supp 1gb), monthly 68+48+gst. unlimited call n sms!

 

Thanks for the info bro. Your previous plan with maxis is what?
I'm on 128

I was on one of the iValue plans. However, which plan you're now should not matter. Just call up 123 and go from there

Yes, you can. Just pay up the remaining termination penalty cost and you'll be OK.
P/S:The CS @ 123 will pretend to tell you there is no "loyalty team", however you just need to insist 

We noticed that there has been some speculation on recent posts put up regarding special offers given to certain Maxis customers and we’d like to clear up a few things.

Yes, other than our standard promotions, our marketing team often pilots non-standard offers for marketing research where a small number of customers are selected based on certain criteria such as their tenure with us, their monthly usage, payment records, location and many others non-common customer profile attributes. These offers are by invitation only and if you are selected, GREAT! You will receive that special call 

So, we hope that this has helped to clear up some concerns as we wouldn’t want anyone to attempt to port out only to be disappointed.

You can keep the special offer to yourself.
Celcom here I come.

Dizzy just seeing all these comments.

Really wish I can takeup the offer but cant cause Digi and Celcom network really bad, 1 in office and the other at home. How leh?

From my experience, Maxis really have the faster and more consistent network.  Others:
Digi:
Tried Digi last year November, after their network upgrade, signal really bad you can see it jumping from EDGE, 3G and LTE so often and that drains battery. Speed is OK if you can get a good signal.

Celcom:
Have my second line on them now, better signal except at my house in Serdang. However, their speed is really not fast. Most of the time I run speedtest will get only single digit mbps. Also, their customer service is bad lah, first call I got from them was to chase for payment, when I havent even received my bill. Even now 2 months later I have not received a bill from them. Also, try calling their contact centre, you will pengsan leh with the way they handle yoru call.

All in all, Maxis is expensive but has it's merits. For me if they come close to the competition, I have no doubt I will stick with them.

I just left Surfmore 75, for First Gold 80!

you pay almost the same amount. but greater savings in the long run (free calls), at almost the same coverage, at better speed (KV). even I'm surprised by it. celcom data used to suck a lot when I was working in East Malaysia.

Surfmore 75 use for several years. Maxis user since 2004. Goodbye Maxis!!!

Today finally receive call from loyalty team.

They offer me RM68 for 5GB data & unlimited calls & sms.

Guess what, the best part is Without Contract.

And yes, I took the offer.

They have RM88 for 7GB data, but I think 5GB is more than enough for me...

Invitation only my arse. If the dude didn't threaten to port out, would he have been 'invited'..? 

F**k you.... cakap macam menteri UMNO.
