Any news or future plan when VoLTE will be launched by Maxis? So far only Digi has this features.

actually umobile had it earlier ald

Yes 4G already have it before digi VOLte

That would bring 3 network providers that has VoLTE features enable currently?

@Maxis can shed some light?

will volte reduce the quality of calls?

Maxis will not have it for now

Why would it does that?

Watch this to understand the benefit of VOLte

I don't remember umobile have volte. I know they have WiFi calling

my experience using yes 4g volte is quite good.much better than traditional oned.

If there is VOLTE from Maxis in near future, PIGS CAN FLY!!!!

As per user experience they had better quality calls via VoLTE compare to data one.

Mybe that's VoWifi


Most people say so. Would be great if we have this feature enabled too!

Hahahahahhaha ))

wow, means Maxis line has lower technology? hahaha

maxis ceo told before they will not implement volte for near future as they want to strenghten their core services.sigh hight cost maybe

its not maxis has lower tech as telco can buy or hire others company.its just they dun wan to fork more money as they re burdened with high debt ratio already.plus they need to meet their shareholder dividen payments expectation .

No shame they are still declaring they are No. 1 4G in Malaysia.

until skmm implement standard rule n regulation for telco 4g speed ,any telco can claim they re the best.

Thanks guys, for the explanation and positive discussion. I leave this topic open as long as anybody would like to contribute more to this.

that means maxis claiming to be best, brand and sell their products in the premium catagory, but actually using less superior technology. How terrible to cheat consumers in such a way

really hope to see VoLTE from Maxis soon!

+1


Oh, seems like my working area been upgraded to 4G+ already.

slowly wait la.

This ?

This on maxis? How di u activate it?

On which telco?

Don't expect this from Maxis. Using old school technology to charge premium on "water fish" customers.

not sure what u mean by water fish... but in Penang Area, other then Maxis(usually stable at 20mbps, mostly up to 40-60mbps), Digi (usually stable at 5-10mbps, some area support up to 20mbps)seem really performe good with VoLTE(NOTE: it dose not mean must have LTE-A to enable VoLTE, and also not always with LTE-A can push up ur bandwidth to/over 20mbps), and other thn this 2 telco, the rest r shit to compare (even umobile)

where i test mostly my work place(2 places), home area and shopping mall, maxis usually out perform, Digi 2nd in place and Celcom get last(2phone, 3sim to test). maxis and digi having fast network switching technology (it wont break connection while switching 4g,3g,2g) but celcom no...

to compare those price, most always keep saying maxis take premium price but give oldschool tech, but what i see it isnt really true. celcom giving quite number of GB internet quota, but if ur speed isnt really that fast, how r u gonna finish that quota?(same to umobile, please read TnC, webe user too)
maxis indeed a bit more expansive compare to other telco, but it didnt fail me while i need it... somehow in Penang, some place like near to mountain area, digi n celcom give no signal, where maxis still all good, will this still mean maxis is expansive?

i made a speed test on the spot, maxis and Digi(with VoLTE enabled and icon above shown), this is the result to those who alwsys think maxis is for 'water fish' customer.



Edit: i can confirm while on speed test, digi is running on LTE-A (4G+) but while i take ss, it suddently changed to 4g LOL... digi's fault...

still no date for maxis VOLTE

I asked the business team, no rollout for LTE yet and expected to roll out when it introduces 5G network.

this reply is still valid, from now till way way way many more years ahead.

WeBe has VoLTE too.

Tried today on non Maxis VoLTE calls and the call quality is pretty impressive and good if compared to Digi VoLTE enabled voice quality.

Isn't 5G network implementation still years away from being rolled out?

2017 still talk about voice quality meh.......VOIP or just message lah.

True, we should embrace and look towards VOIP.

AT&T started testing 5G in USA already.
https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/30/atandt-...ee-more-cities/

Dang. We are always late to receive the technological advancements by half a decade. Sad but true

Sob...sob... or if SK started using it we might get a chance on 5G though a year or couple later.

Keeping fingers crossed on that Bro. Being 1 year behind is still not too bad. Or even 6 month after our southern neighbour implements theirs.

Yeah a couple of year later still have glimpse of hopea rather than a decade late ㅋㅋㅋㅋ. ^^ cheers! Cause more variants of samsung phones can be sold in Malaysia ^^

honestly i believe WIFI calling is more important than VoLTE.. honestly.. i do not see a point in VoLTE, except better call quality. what do you want to do over the phone? listen to CD quality audio like the old days where u dial a 600-premium telephone number and select to listen to certain songs.

PLEASE maxis.. roll out WIFI calling.

i am currently on umobile, and u have no idea how much i saved using wifi calling when i am abroad for work. usually when i am abroad i am required to purchase local sim card for that country. having said that, thats to make calls to customers and receive calls from them in that country. To call my sweet heart back home, i return to hotel, connect to hotel wifi.. viola.. i can make phone calls to my darling just as if i never left malaysia.

we could use whatsapp call mah, why wifi calling? well, my darling unifi is extremely slow. too slow for even whatsapp voice call. needless to say about whatsapp video calls. i tried telegram call, duo call, facebook calls.. traditional call to her is the best, for me anyway.

another scenario, which is irritating. my office, maxis is horrible. the moment i walk out of the office, BOOM.. 4G+ enter office.. 1 to zero bar.. then it will go to H+.. then H.. then no signal. oddly umobile is rather strong in my office, at least in my cubicle. 4G with 3 bars.. walk out of office 4 bars. could be the spectrum used is not so good for penetrating walls.

connect to office wifi.. wifi calling is perfect.

now, if only i can have wifi calling on my company phone line, maxis, it will be purrrrrrfect.

You see, you want wifi calling because you want to save money.

You think maxis will give you something that can save your money?

So, maxis and Hotlink don't have wifi calling? I see, no wonder the maxis staffs are blurr when we asked them about wifi calling.

Only Umobile and YES have wifi calling if I am not mistaken

And DiGi too

I didn't know that DiGi has wifi calling. Thought they only have VoLTE.

Digi has.

Cool. Thank you for sharing. Let me check it out.

I don't find it that useful though. I prefer Facetime audio, clearer voice. whatsapp call is very unstable to me, don't really use it.

Anyone know when would Celcom roll out wifi calling? Damn hard to do online banking overseas when there are no mobile network. Can't receive TAC.

Yes it is really an inconvenience when one is overseas. Wifi calling would ensure that the TAC sms notifications are well received?

However Digi's wifi calling cannot be used when you are on roaming >> https://community.digi.com.my/t5/Network/En...ne-6/ta-p/28055
See FAQ Q9

What bummer. It had to come with limitations.

This still valid after two months? I guess so.. :/

Good morning. Your guess is as good as mine. We are still waiting patiently for Maxis to roll it out.

haha, two months, and two months

maxis better roll out nicely, unlike the u-mobile and digi.

volte supposed to have faster call setup time, and crystal clear voice, unfortunately u-mobile and digi volte is the reverse, longer setup time and voice seems like no difference

That is true and sad. Hope Maxis lives up to it's standard since being the most expensive carrier.

I am enjoying VoLTE and VoWiFi on Digi network. Both of the services are awesome but like what people mentioned previously, the cons is that Digi disables VoWiFi while roaming outside of Malaysia.

Bro, out of curiosity, are you by any chance using iPhone?

Yes, not by chance, I am using iPhone.

@Maxis , still no news for VoLTE / VoWifi Features?

Nothing yet so far. Still waiting impatiently.

Sorry for the double post. Deleted.

July 2018 and no news from Maxis yet. =)

Nada. Zilch so far

@Maxis

So right now Maxis is having 4G and is cheaper by RM2 compare to Celcom Gold

Doesn't matter the RM2 difference. Both still stone hearted telco's.

True that, will the day ever come for VoLTE in Maxis? Sigh.

A lot of us still patiently waiting for it. Luckily, I now use another telco which long ago has VoLTE as my primary line and keep the maxis as a secondary backup line.

Maxis is my primary line, and unifi mobile is backup one.

But at least Unifi mobile has VoLTE, Maxis after so long and still waiting.

maxis won't have VoLTE anytime soon, slowly dream.

I really wonder, what is the cause/reason that is holding them back. Perhaps they would skip and go straight to 5G tech.

the answer is simple: the majority of their customers are not demanding for it.

There is no demand for Voice Over LTE in Malaysia. Many people are used to the low audio quality call.

Consumers should demand.

So many of their customers have been demanding until the cows come home and yet no action from Maxis. Please do something about this request.

you look through the annual report for 2017, not a word of VoLTE.

Standby. Having a look, not that I don't trust you. 👍👍✌

Wow after a year Maxis still did not implement volte? Or at least vowifi? Damn it's been more than a year and I thought my phone was having issue.

Nope, definitely no issues with your phone, just that Maxis hasn't implemented any of the mentioned ever since giving us 4G+, period.

Welcome to Maxis.

What a welcome haha. But at least at my area 4g is still quite stable so for that I can accept the trade off 😂

Maxis 4G is undoubtedly fast and stable, but for some peculiar reason, the data get's chewed up very rapidly even when not downloading.

Maxis any timeline?

Maxis never even bother to reply in this thread, even after 5 pages. Highly doubt they would give us a timeline.

we really need VoLTE and VoWIFI

We have been asking and pleading for a very long time, yet all fell on deaf ears. Truly sad

ya, even unifi mobile also got VOLTE

Yup, something which the premium telco provider doesn't want to implement for it's users. Absolutely shameful.

That's why Maxis shareholders very happy with the company. Always prioritise shareholders ahead of consumers. They even let go of one of their spectrum because they are not using it. Now slowly upgrade their older spectrum to support 4G. Some area in kepong already get 4G on Band 1 instead of the usual Band 3 and 7. Sadly though speed still sucks.

I'm hoping to start a petition to get basic features such as wifi calling and volte which others are enjoying.
I know its a longshot but lets give it a shot
Do support if you guys have the time.

Petition

Nothing is happening - even on Maxis's forum ?

they are not bothered.

I'm in overseas and connecting back to uMobile via VoWIFI.

How nice to have this features that I can get local call rate plus no roaming charge if I pick up any calls from overseas.

But for on my Maxis, non of this is available.

Never & ever maxis will having this feature

They're focusing on 5G now, but not VoLTE ㅠㅠ

Paying premium price but still using 3G calling tech. Oh mai
