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.

How do I subscribe to MaxisONE World pass?

There is no subscription required. When you are abroad with your MaxisONE plan, any calls (received or made), any SMS sent, any data used (via webpages, apps, and all other platforms) will automatically kick start your MaxisONE World pass.

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.

hmm.gif 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.

ya~
max rm38/day compare to rm40/8call is vr thoughtful, if u really talking business @ oversea...

most user if going out for holiday maybe juz use 1 time while touch down to inform family only
but the PASS already being kick-started

if they going there 1 wk leh~? oso kena rm38/day?
and the most ridicules is, no option to stop it until u come back m'sia

No, what it is meant to do is to CAP it to MAX RM38/day so that you won't get a BILL SHOCK. Must look at the current perspective, you will now also incur cost when travelling overseas if you send SMS, it's usually RM0.50 and receive calls, you will get roaming charges. It's just saying if your total cost < RM38, you get charge as per usage. But if you use > RM38, you just get charged RM38.

Sounds plausible explanation when I called Maxis centre, but, what I'm referring to earlier post, the FAQ and site is slightly misleading and confusing. At first read through, it implies otherwise.

I'm sharing what i understand and hear from Maxis centre, hope those under MOP and got charged Maxis OneWorld Pass, which is the reality.

These charges only applicable to MOP, right?
Iplan and Survemore plan are not included, right?

seems so, but i not sure, better ask maxis b4 u go oversea

Maxis One World plan it's only for Maxis One Plan. I searched for ivalue/surmore, didn't see it.

Understood entirely, I'm just reporting back what explaination from Maxis. Pretty sketchy on the explanation part, Maxis gets an award for being ambiguous.
The part you can't opt out is always a no no.



Anyone with Maxis one plan and got affected by Maxis One World plan, please log a MCMC report on deceptive FAQs. I wish I could, but I'm just on little surfmore.

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.

Where did you see/hear this? The website only showing MaxisOneWorld (RM38/day) for Maxis one plan.

QUOTE(cucubud @ Apr 21 2016, 01:18 PM)
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.

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.
