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.

Maybe. I've never forgotten to top up my prepaid numbers till now, though.

Every time I top up, I save a reminder 1 day before next credit expiry in my Google Calendar. Currently keeping track of 3 Hotlink numbers (me, wife, son). Saved significant $ vs what I used to pay previously (postpaid RM98 + RM30 + RM30).

RM38 for 200 mins (maxis new offer) or RM30 for 250 mins (umobile prepaid), hmm.

Interesting math ha ha.

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.
