This is only when you use data, it will be automatically charged with RM38 within 500mb provided.

I really dont understand why received/make call, received/send sms also consider as data usage.

As long as data roaming is untick, I don't think maxis is charging rm38. Those sms whenever you're overseas are normal, kinda like SOP for all telco with no charges.

Not trying to protect or anything..

Lets say for U Mobile, Celcom & Maxis.. for a 10 min call in Singapore to Malaysia & use 50MB of data

Also bear in mind that Umobile & Celcom charge for receiving calls per min. Maxis doesn't.

Nonetheless, do survey & check out all the available package n find which suits you.. Don't ever change plan or accept plans over the phone or just listen to a sale person which tries to push you any product. Take your time to understand what you are getting yourself into by checking websites, printed materials & so forth

Celcom https://www.celcom.com.my/personal/plans/in...d=1360826523383
RM 3.30 per min = RM 33.00
Unlimited internet per day = RM 38

U mobile http://www.u.com.my/international-roaming/roaming-overseas
RM 2.50 per min = RM 25.00
50MB free per day (if exceed, RM 30 max a day)


Maxis http://www.maxis.com.my/en/personal/servic...g/oneworld.html
Unlimited min = RM 38
1st 500MB free (No data how much it'll cost if more)

Digi http://new.digi.com.my/roaming/internation...untry=Singapore
Rm 2.80 per min = RM 28
50MB = RM 10 (Roam10 - Unlimited Social Messaging + 50MB) Unlimited RM 36.00 /country/day



Another note in the FAQ http://www.maxis.com.my/en/personal/servic...g/oneworld.html

What do I see a charge of RM10 & RM28 in my bill instead of RM38?

For minimal usage of up to 2 calls or 2 SMS or less than 256kb data, charges will be at RM10
Subsequent usages and upon reaching the usage threshold of 3 calls or 3 SMS or 256kb data, charges will be at RM28
In total, you only pay a maximum of RM38/day


What if I finish 500MB MaxisONE World pass quota?

You will receive an SMS notification when you’ve reached 100% usage of your 500MB high-speed data quota. Subsequently, your usage will be drawn from domestic data quota with no additional cost.

tq for the analysis~

i oso admit it was a good idea while u REALLY NEED it and switch on by user their own
like tis trap ppl too sneaky la~

auto ON while u do use tat line no matter receive call or make call out or sent sms;
even though u DID NOT switched data roaming ON...


somemore cannot stop service until come back m'sia
wat if ppl go traveling 1 wk?
at least giv ppl option to stop tat svc ma~

CELCOM seems to copy tis trap as well @ once start cannot stop half way until u come back m'sia
but at least got option for user to decide to use or not

DIGI & UMOBILE seems charge per call/sms and max @ rmXXX
if i'm not misunderstanding...

or maybe somebody tell me i get maxis wronged bcoz
actually the svc says maxis was charging by rm???/calls & MAX/day is rm38??
and i missed the method teach how to stop the svc as well?

how do u think?

I wonder what will happen if after 2 days on roaming, I decide to get a local number. Took out the Maxis SIM card and insert the local sim.
Will Maxis continue to charge me for the auto roaming even I have removed the SIM card from the phone?

we need richpapa volunteer to try it.......

good luck.

bill shock coming soon

This is how you roam...

http://www.lowyat.net/2016/100407/u-mobile...g-from-rm10day/

For selected countries are RM 38 max a day, unlimited calls and sms...

I think if you use for 1 day it will only charge you 1 day... not through out your whole trip..

best bet is either buy a local sim card (most cases are cheaper) or put phone on airplane mode n manually turn on wifi n use hotspots area.

Went overseas last month and suddenly see a big jump in my bill even though I never turn on data for my Maxis sim card. Now waiting for itemized bill to see what I being charged of.

did u used tat maxis no. @ oversea? sms or receive call oso counted in den will charge u rm38/day...
god bless u'r not the victim of tis trap, but if yes, must complaint to skmm abt tis !!

I thought under this maxis one plan... u get charge rm38... u get to use unlimited call, sms, and data... on top of that they give u extra 500mb each day... the call, sms, and data they use ur local quota.. say u r having a 3gb package they tap the quota from ur 3gb but giv u 500mb extra perday.. not like this meh

nope. according to maxis official website says, once u've activated tis svc as above discussed, u'll not able to stop it & u'll b charged rm38/day @ everyday until u came back m'sia

even though u only used once @ touch down for contact ur mama & pull out the sim card after tat & enjoy ur 1 wk holiday @ oversea...

and, it's only giv u 500mb/day not 3gb & after finish 500mb u've to top up or totally cut off data.

Folks, am i Understanding it wrongly?

Let's not look at "How I subscribe" cause that shows need to turn on data roaming or make a call or SMS.

Look at the FAQs, it's more damning.

Shit... This is really MAXSHIT.

MCMC had better look into this. This is forcing people to pay MaxShit RM38 a day. This is better than robbing people, cos MaxShit can say this is legal.

But to me this is Illegal.

it's not as sinister as that it seems. Maxis centre is saying, you pay to a max of RM38 a day. But if you just receive one call, roaming fees to receive call is example RM5. You just pay RM5. If you get 8 calls as such, without this MaxisOne world pass, you pay RM40 instead but they throw in this offer, paying RM38 and give some data to use also.

Other benefits, it also prevents people who accidentally turn on data roaming, max they pay also RM38 a day.

Let's see whose on this and is it as per above explanation given.
