I'm planning to get Maxis 3G RM99 unlimited service. I have a few questions.

1. Do they provide a separate sim card or do you have to use together with your normal postpaid sim?
2. How much is the Maxis 3G Connect data card now? The website does not list the price. Or can I buy any other data card to be used.
3. I'm guessing that the 3GB limit does not apply to this service, correct?


Added on December 10, 2008, 2:26 pmOh, one more question, can I cancel it anytime? No RM200 handling fee right?

Well, lately my Maxis 3G seems to have... deteriorated. I can hardly load certain international websites. Rapidshare performance has also dropped!

If my RS is not working with my Maxis 3G in my area, do you think I could call CS and complain? Will they even do anything about it?

I'm just wondering if CS would even bother to do anything because other websites are fine.

Means I have to get VPN or Netload or MU in addition to my RS, just to use RS? :S Maxis is really cramping my style man...

I had the same problem when I first started looking for a suitable modem. I bought one of the PC Card based Option modem, and the secondary sim just wouldn't work. At times, it locks to the 3G network momentarily, then immediately loses connection. I changed the modem to one of the USB huawei and it works fine now. It was very puzzling. Someone told me ( I can't remember who! ) that if I have brought the "incompatible" modem plus the secondary sim to Maxis centre, the tech people would be able to set some bits on the sim card to enable it to work. I never did explore that option because the huawei works fine for me.

QUOTE(ibnuasad @ Dec 19 2009, 04:18 PM)
Just found out the hard way that secondary multisim cannot be used with any other brand of modems except Huawei. Tried with ZTE MF627, Sierra Wireless 880U (cost me RM300!), Option GT, etc. 880U can detect sim but will only connect to 2G band...tried various settings, still the same sad.gif

Anyone got their multisims working perfectly on other modems?

Btw, now using Huawei E160 and it works flawlessly biggrin.gif....also bought 2 new units of ZTE MF600 modem for future use brows.gif

To do:
- Fix outdoor panel antenna on roof (mf600)
- Buy a magnetic antenna (e160)

Anybody knows if Maxis 3G multisim supports ZTE MF600? I'm asking because the multisim is very picky, and is only known to work with a few types of modem.

Apart from the ZTE MF600, any other modem with an antenna that is recommended?

I've recently moved to an area with somewhat poor Maxis signal. Trying to find a modem that works well in such situation.

Apart from E1762, any other modems worth getting for Maxis 3G? I'm actually looking for those MiFi modems, but not sure which one is as good as the E1762.

is there any good dialler program that compatible with huawei 1752 other than mobile partner ? i experience hiccup and slow download if i'm under HSPA network.... when i change thether using my iphone its work flawlessly because my iphone can only detect WCDMA/EDGE/GPRS only... not HSPA.... i think maxis HSPA still not stable la...

i need a dialler that can refuse connection to HSPA network & only prefer WCDMA or HSDPA....

I'm using mwconn. It's able to differentiate between UMTS(HSDPA, HSPA etc) and GPRS only though. I prefer it to Mobile Partner because it's able to reconnect automatically if a line hangs or goes down.

Maxis Multisim is very picky. I've only managed to get it to work with Huawei modems. I've tried with DLink, Option, and some others, didn't work. I think it works with ZTE as well.

as u all can see from result , the multi sim do work fine with ZTE and Dlink usb modem, for as for Dlink DWM151 the ping is not really good,.. and ZTE MF627 ping is way better and yet stable,..
So is big different when u using HSDPA / HSUPA /  HSPA / HSPA+ as in penang Georgetown Area maxis have HSPA everywhere,. will need HSPA+ modem to try out whether how far the speed can go,.. hmm.gif
those 3.6mbps HSDPA modem been flash to 7.2mbps will only achieve as far as 3.6mbps only,.  if u want to achieve more, u need HSUPA / HSPA / HSPA + usb modem,..
( as my ZTE MF627 i flash it from 3.6mbps to 7.2mbps,  )

hope this tips can help some one out there,..
