So this is going to cause many people to flame me, but still, read on for people who has logic and common sense.

Don't port out if you still have contract.


There, I said it!

I'm no math guru, and I hate math. But if my simple calculation says, you are throwing money away, you most likely are.

One post got viral about some guy paying the 700 penalty and got a celcom. My dad is still on contract and have 1 year left for iValue with the iphone 6 package.

Sure, out of the hype and impulsive behaviour of the influence of social media and peer pressure (or what have you), my dad wanted to join the bandwagon also.

But after I calculate, it's not worth it. So now he's paying 100 per month, has 2GB of data to use, and never finishes it at all every month. If he decides to terminate, he has to pay 1.2k for the remaining 12 months left of his contract, to get celcom's 10GB (actually 5GB, the extra 5GB is BS, sorry).

Sure, he save 20 bucks.  Good or bad? BAD.

Why throw 1.2k at maxis? I ask. Are you gonna use up the 5GB every month? Are you gonna talk on the phone until it explodes? NO. No, no and no.

Suck it up, finish the 1 year, and then say goodbye. Don' act on impulsive behavior. It's like buying property. Calculate, ask questions, if in doubt don't buy it and wait for a better deal.

Edit: It turns out that it might not actually be 1.2k based on the fact that I see many claim it's not the exact monthly figure for the penalty. In such case, I'm wrong and I'll look into bugging maxis for the actual figure. Thanks to those who comment.  :thumbsup:

I think you are right. If penalty is too much it is wiser to wait until contract is over before porting out. If penalty small then decision to port out is easier.

However MaxShit got to understand that if people are willing to port out with penalty (a lot or not a lot of penalty) it means MaxShit subscribers are really pissed and angry. So pissed and angry that some people do not mind paying penalty. So you can imagine the mess MaxShit is in now.

So I find it very funny that MaxShit still continue to discriminate, this time against users of other plans. Now sure users of other plans will be pissed.
