The answer by CS is as good as do not switch on yr mobile or take out the sim card while overseas.

hi all,
anyone knows/understand what's the final/latest status on Maxis One World service aka the 'auto roaming' trick?
@maxis any update/clarifications on this issue? 

i m travelling oversea next month & have maxisone 158 plan - how do ensure i can still roam but not auto-charged by maxis for their One World service-rm38/d thing?
the auto-rm38/d charges deoesnt applies to european/north american countries right?
do we write complains to mmc or something on this auto-roaming-charge-fascilities/Maxis One World service or how? (byright should have opt-out/opt-in options ,right?)

any input most appreciated. thx guys! 

This is the reply I get PMed by Maxis which I do not mind to shared

We can assist to whitelist your name from being under this Maxis One World pass, which means all your call will be based on pay per use and you can only hook to NON preferred network and you will be not able to purchase any promotional data pass. If you wish to be under the list, you may provide us with the details below:

Name:
NRIC:
Mobile Number:

This is the reply I get when I email maxis customer service:

Thank you for contacting Maxis.

Unfortunately, we are unable to deactivate the Maxis One World roaming services as it is activated automatically. Your feedback is highly appreciated and will be highlighted to the respective management for future enhancements. For more information, you may refer to: http://www.maxis.com.my/en/personal/servic...g/oneworld.html .

When I ask if I can hook to NON preferred network like Starhub in SG for example, i get this reply:

---
Thank you for your feedback.

We do not have any agreement with Starhub as such, even if you would to choose the services, you will not be able to hook with the network.

So?? can I hook to non preferred network or not? Can I opt for pay per use or not? this is just damn confusing the customer.....

where are you traveling to?
First, check the maxis home page for the country lists that they provide the one world service.
There is a provider for each country that is tied to the one world service. If you are on that provider when you are overseas, the one world service will kick in.

The obvious answer as other pointed out is to use a separate mobile network provider that wont have the one world service.

No wonder my bill for my recent trip to Bali was quite high, coz only been receiving SMS and one call only from Msia ... quite unfair :/

Even receiving sms also will trigger this maxis one world thing meh??

I double confirmed with the maxis CS the other day. Only by sending sms or answering a call will trigger the one world pass. And of course probably have to deactivate the voicemail first before leaving the country.

yup, it is what i know also.

anyway, for those who really want to disable this oneworld thingy totally. it is possible. just via maxis online chat to tell them that you want to be in the whitelist that you DOT NOT want to opt in for oneworld.

i had done it. so now i totally dun have any data roaming charge at all.

just tell them that you want to be in the "default" international roaming. Then it will be on pay per use basis instead of rm38 even u just use 1MB of data. emphasize to them the word "default". i noticed this is the common differentiation in Maxis and Celcom for their pay per use vs the rm38 one. check your VAS to ensure that you are in default international roaming.

all the telcos they are very cunning, they opt you into this rm38 by default. same goes to celcom. if u sign those plan from celcom first gold and above, automatically you are in this rm38 thingy. and if you ask them can opt out or not. the cso will bluff you said it is not possible. but actually it is totally possible that you just opt in to the "default" international roaming.

I thought it can no longer be done?

i go to maxis center before i travel to China previously, they told me just choose non maxis preferred operator will do, i did that when i went to China and didnt charge with RM38/day even though i send few sms. only normal sms rate

p/s: i am on MOP 128

I msged them thru the FB AskMaxis, and the reply they gave was it is not possible to switch out from the One world pass. How did u do it last time?

RM38 perday is it for one world? there is no any pay per use?
