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~ thumbsup.gif

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...

[attachmentid=6327039]
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... confused.gif

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?
*
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.
