If turn off the data roaming option in mobile phone but not the mobile data, can avoid data roaming charges in overseas?

Hi westlife,

Please turn off Data roaming & Mobile data to avoid data roam charge.

Thank you!

anyway to disable the data roaming totally but just to have roaming service for SMS and Calls?

@Maxis

Maxis got such default roaming plan for voice and data only? meaning data roaming is not enabled?

Hi,

You will be charged Pay-Per-Use if you make/receive call & send SMS if you are in Vietnam & other countries except South East Asia.
MaxisONE World will be auto activated if you reach the tier for flat rate. Refer http://www.maxis.com.my/content/maxis/en/p...g/oneworld.html.

TQ

anyway to have pay per use also for those countries that are part of the maxis one world? meaning i just simply DO NOT want to use the MaxisOne totally.

Hi westlife,

For our MaxisONE plan users, we offers MaxisONE World when they travels to Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Brunei, Philippines, Cambodia and Laos for these benefits - save more, more data and worry free. If you have utilised your 500MB in MaxisONE World pass, you are able to utilise your local data as well with no charges incurred. However, it will expires at 1159pm capital time when you are in one of the selected countries. As for the pay per use, it will only applicable for those countries that not the list for MaxisONE World.

Thank you

So even if I turn off mobile data & data roaming, I will still be charged RM38 if I receive call/SMS when I'm outside of Malaysia?

u will be charged. received sms will not trigger rm38 data roaming plan, but receive a call it will, even it is just 1s call received.

u need to call maxis to opt out from the maxis one world so that u will be charged on pay per use basis instead.

Wow! So dangerous and horrifying. Just imagine if I answer only 1 call on first day yet RM38 will be charged everyday until I'm back to Malaysia.

yes, correct.
