QUOTE(jjjeantang @ Apr 5 2016, 10:10 PM) but this one seems need to activate manually by user, DDR will be auto renewed once it hits midnight Malaysian time zone and your data quota will be refreshed.maxis's is auto activate for u once u use ur phone oversea, even u'r answering a call...   It mentioned "auto renewed" |

QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Apr 6 2016, 12:21 AM) last month i went hong kong, even though i off data roaming, but i received sms from malaysia, and maxis considered it as data. Did they charge you any of the RM38 roaming charges while you were in Hong Kong? 50kb charge me RM1.85, but luckily less than 256kb, if not kena RM38.also, they keep spam me sms, ask me sign up for the RM38/day package, 1 day at least 10 sms, and sometimes 1 minute can send up to 2-3 same messages. |

Wow, Maxis is scary.the celcom DDR is before RENEW, u've to ACTIVATE it, by ur decision  maxis is once u got received call, u kena trap......  If I am oversea for 1 month, then the roaming charges will be RM38 x 30 = RM1140.  If the account has a credit of RM500, what will happen? Total cutoff service? |

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? |

QUOTE(jjjeantang @ Apr 13 2016, 11:25 AM) seems so, but i not sure, better ask maxis b4 u go oversea QUOTE(dreamthief @ Apr 13 2016, 11:55 AM) Maxis One World plan it's only for Maxis One Plan. I searched for ivalue/surmore, didn't see it. Seems that the RM38/day apply to all Plans. MOP, iValue and Survemore and Hotlink too.No way out except you put your sim card on a dumb phone which does not have data service. |

QUOTE(xzilem @ Apr 21 2016, 12:51 PM) How about we delete the apn setting, do the data service still continue? Not sure your smart phone will trigger it or not.They said to switch OFF Data Roaming and Cellular Data and don't set the phone to LTE or 3G. If the smart phone is so smart, it keeps trying to trigger the data service, then if one time successful, you will be charged RM38/day. Better put the sim card into a dumb phone to avoid the RM38/day Data Roaming. |

QUOTE(dreamthief @ Apr 21 2016, 03:41 PM) Where did you see/hear this? The website only showing MaxisOneWorld (RM38/day) for Maxis one plan. Did an online chat with them this morning.Not true, it's even calls received/made or sms sent. Disabling the Data roaming doesn't help. That's the old way to avoid roaming charges. http://www.maxis.com.my/en/personal/servic...g/oneworld.html They showed me the link for Roaming charges which is for the MOP. I told them I am on ivalue plan. They said it applies to all Plans. I told them I am going oversea for 1 month and I am not going to pay RM38 x30 days while oversea. Then they told me to disable the Data Roaming and Cellular Data and switch OFF LTE and 3G. |

QUOTE(QQQ133 @ Dec 29 2016, 10:18 PM) I was charged RM38/day for 4 consecutive days last week while I was in Singapore & somehow my phone's setting got the data roaming on, but, I didn't use my phone when I'm out & without wifi, so, I guess the only data traffic was the incoming push text messages from WhatsApp, which can't be much volume. Lucky thing you were out of the country for 4 days.I called Maxis helpdesk & they told me as long as you use more than 512 Bytes of data, they will charge you RM38/day, claiming that this is for your protection as you could clock up a lot more expenses if you hit high volume of data. Daylight robbery RM38 for 513 bytes of data!!! If out of the country for 2 weeks or 1 month, you will explode.   |
