Been with maxis for more than 10 years, from prepaid to postpaid to one plan 128. Been thinking to port out since U mobile start the war with HERO plan RM70 get 7GB.
But worried about Umobile coverage so I hold it, then Digi and Celcom join the war with their own plan, giving unlimited calls and more data with cheaper price. Then stumble upon this thread, really cant brain why maxis treating their customer like this mad.gif  so i decided to port out.

I cancel my contract last Thursday via maxis chat and when they ask why want to cancel, i said i want to port out. And purposely wait till yesterday to see if anyone from maxis will call and offer me new package. Not that i wanted the new package but just want to see how their reaction when a customer cancel their contract and mentioned of porting out.

So yesterday since no one from maxis call me, i decided to port in to Celcom and took their RM80 gold plan, and this morning someone from maxis call me to offer new package. First he offer me RM68 and will get 5GB unlimited call but i rejected. Then he said can give me more data, so he offer me RM88 8GB unlimited call, also I rejected it. He ask why? I said i get better offer from Celcom with RM80 gold plan. Then he start condemn Celcom saying even thou Celcom give more data but their 4G speed is slower than maxis blablabla, I just stop him and said I already frustrated with maxis and already decided to port out,so no thanks.

So I hope if anyone intend to port out and get a counter offer from maxis, just reject it. This is to teach maxis a lesson so they will realize that we customer are not stupid and we can make our choice if we are not happy with them.

My hats off to you for your stand bro, unfortunately others who are just seeking for a cheaper package but want to stick to familiarity will gladly accept.

As for the 4G speed claim, I think it varies depending on location. I bought a Celcom prepaid recently to test their network speed and since I travel quite a bit for work I've been randomly testing their network. For now it appears that maxis has better 4G coverage in certain areas, but when I get Celcom 4G signal, the speed seems to blow maxis out of the water. So far two places where Celcom whipped maxis in two places that I've tested are Imago Mall, KK and First Avenue Mall, Penang. I will be in Ipoh later this week and in JB next week where I'll do further tests.

I don't expect Celcom to be miles ahead of maxis (not for the asking price of RM80+GST) but if I'm convinced that Celcom has acceptable coverage in all those places that I frequently go to, then I'll most likely void my contract with maxis and pay the penalty (which I calculated I will make back in savings in the plan rates for the duration of my contract period).

What's in the 78 plan?
*
5GB data + unlimited calls/texts. Basically it's their OnePlan 158 offered to selected customers at 68 or 78, no idea what is the selection criteria.

It's pretty clear from the reports posted above by Maxis customers that those who ported out gets RM68 and those who remain loyal gets RM78.

It also depends if you meet their criteria for selection as a "special" customer. If you don't, they happily let you port out.

Basically, they are like a Chinaman company - if the boss likes you, he gives you better price. If not, he won't bother.

So glad to hear the good news about Maxis plans since I cant move to Celcom or Digi and U mobile I cant trust.

Cant wait for them to come out with the new plans.

At this point it's all speculation. They may not even have a new plan in the works. Just talk only.

Haha, yeah. tongue.gif

I will consider if it's $68 but not $78. Not being picky but I'm fine with my surfmore 50.
*
Yes, I suppose you can bargain with them and ask why some get it at $68.

maxshit just called and the offer was RM98 with 5gb & unlimited calls

when asked about RM68 promo, he said only for east malaysia customers. well in that case why not maxshit just move over there and stop operating here since they do not appreciate your customers in the west. tongue.gif

It's so strange, some get 68, some get 78, and now you're saying 98... What on earth...

Pity those uninformed uncles and aunties still going to maxis centers signing up for the OnePlan. Perhaps these are the targeted segment for maxis to victimize.

yah me still under package but i rather pay penalty than continue with MAXIS

Wished I had your resolve but problem is my early termination penalty works out to 1200 right now (iPhone 6S Plus plan). I can think of so many better ways to spend that money than to donate it to maxis. Thing is I would never ever have signed a contract with maxis had I known they had such double standards. It's bad enough to offer East Malaysians one plan then now selectively pick and choose customers to offer special plans to. Were they thinking the rest of us would never find out?

After airing my views relentlessly on their FB page since they announced their East Malaysia plans, they have now officially blocked me and removed all my posts.

Another new low from them.

no wonder i notice there were missing complaints at Maxis FB

Ya, they can't handle the truth. Now they are acting like our government, first offer special plans to East Malaysia, then pick and choose selected people for special benefits, and silence their critics. Shameful behavior.

Maxis no longer behave like a big corporation, they are more like a Petaling Street vendors now, call you back and give you the last price only if you turn around and walk away.

Instead of upgrade, can do a downgrade to a cheaper package?

They won't offer a downgrade coz they wanna increase their revenue. I'm guessing downgrade options are reserved for those porting out

after reading this thread again, ears all feeling damn hot.

logged on to maxis online. lambasted the online CS. They filed a case to look into. And i also told them if i dont get anything, I'm gonna port out soon too. Gotta incur penalty RM562 but i willing to pay. Im paying 100 more compared to the 68bucks 5gb plan. What fak is this la.

On top of that im using maxis since 2002 la.. and also Maxis One Club member. if they think they can fleece me, they are wrong.

Let us know the outcome bro. My penalty is 1200 but I'm thinking of cutting my losses and walking. I'm paying 128 for 3GB and people are paying close to half of that and getting 5GB. I've lambasted them but they gave me a standard cut and paste answer - I'm not their "selected" customer.

Celcom has extended their RM 80 promo till end May. If their new plan f* up existing customers then I'm paying my penalty and walking. Seriously not worth it.

QUOTE(Fighteden @ Apr 2 2016, 08:51 AM)
Well, think about how many customers they have to call and evaluate/calculate for whatever plans they want to offer based on their usage, all i know is that whatever plan they are offering is actually based on your monthly average usage.
For my case, i am on Surfmore 75, my monthly bill is about 100-+, so they offer me RM118, and i do see some get the same plan at cheaper rate (RM98 or RM88), so maybe their monthly usage is lower that what they offered to them in average?

And i did not port out for them to offer me this, they called me. So maybe it's your turn soon, or just call in and asked to speak to the marketing dept.

They made it very clear that their special plan is for selected customers by invitation only and one sure way of getting an invitation is by porting out. The rest of their special customers are those on legacy plan without contracts. Those with contracts such as myself that get selected are far and few between because we are the least threat to port out.

Notice this thread is getting shared on maxis FB timeline, which is good. They banned me from their FB page after claiming I've been spamming them but I guess they can't ban everyone. The truth hurts, maxis.
