[Unfair practice by MAXIS]

I am currently using MAXIS "TalkMore28" plan for few years now and for those that not aware, this plan is RM28/month(200 minutes of talk and 100 SMS per month)

I just received mail from MAXIS yesterday. They want to force me to upgrade "TalkMore28" plan to one of the plan by 22 Nov 2016 below,

i) upgrade RM38 with 1GB data (I do not need data)
ii) downgrade to RM20 plan but data only (without call or sms). (Stupid, my existing plan TalkMore, data only plan is useless for me )

They force me to to decide by 22 Nov 2016. Since option 2 is not for me, I only have option 1, that mean I need to pay additional money to them for the data that I do not need.

I called their customer service yesterday and complain how they can force their subscribers to pay more, they said they have all the right to change their plan. WTH, so arrogant.. vmad.gif

In brief, they want to force me to upgrade "TalkMore28" plan to RM38. With the current economy, MAXIS want me to cough more money, I really damn piss off now... ranting.gif

Yes it's unfair.
Let's viral it like last time.

1. Post this Lowyat net link to FB news feed page with thousand of followers.
2. Complain to SKMM

3. Port out.

Higher ARPU ---> investors pleased ---> shares go up ---> able to borrow more money from bond/ banks --> able to spend more to upgrade equipment and maintain quality service.

Well if this is their business decision, MAXIS as a big MNC really have an integrity issue here. We need to make it viral to ensure more people know.

If don't like. Go la. There's so many options out there. Why call and become a beggar? Leave and let them know the power of consumer..

Dont kacau kacau ok. This is not about beggar or not. For example, after thief broke into your house. Do you fight for your right or you buy new house? I just fighting for our right as consumer. We cannot let MAXIS bully us and think this country has no law.

Called the toll free number listed in the maxis letter. Told the CS rep that I want to stay with TalkMore 28 with 200 mins or consider a similar talk plan minus data. Rep said he will check with his manager and call me back.

Otherwise it's off to another telco. Can anyone recommend a talk/sms only postpaid offering from the others?

Update - CS rep called me back, all the alternative plans he proposed does not suit my needs. Gonna move to umobile prepaid. 6 sen every 30 secs, that means RM30 will give me one month's validity plus around 250 mins of calls. Don't need any data or SMS on this number.
Can share what CS rep proposed to you?

Nothing special. He said really cannot maintain Talkmore 28, must either accept that it will become the 38 plan with same minutes and some extra data or go for One plan subline (RM48, I think). I said thanks but I will be porting out.
I think legally, MAXIS cannot change the agreed contract without customer consensus.
All impacted customer, please lodge complaint to MCMC.

Really? I'm not a lawyer, but item 5 in Maxis' T&C seems to say otherwise.

Haha, they added it recently. My contract signed since few years back. I can bet you, if you refer to your old contract. This item 5 clause is not there. mad.gif

Maxis sucks. I had been using their postpaid plan for years and recently I found out that they already removed day pass data RM2 for 100mb. The cheapest day past data was now RM5 for 500mb.

Yeah, after I opened this forum, I started to read others Maxis forum. I noticed that Maxis is making other unreasonable changes in other postpaid and prepaid plan too. This shown that they only going for Cash without worry their business integrity/ethic with existing subscribers ... I am so sad and angry... Feel like want to boycott them for the rest of my life now... ranting.gif

I already ported out to DiGi. For those that not aware, today is the last day to inform MAXIS else they will automatically change to RM38... Do share to those that not aware and MNP to others.
