I went through this experience some months back. Maxis refused to reinstate the old Talkmore 28 plan for 2 of my lines used by my mom and my son.
In the end, I MNP both numbers out to RedOne's RM8 monthly postpaid plan. |

QUOTE(kart @ Apr 2 2017, 09:04 AM) Why does Maxis see the need to increase the SMS rate? Does sending a SMS (which is just a plain text file with some kilobytes) lead to clogging and thus complete bottleneck of the so-called high speed 4G LTE network? I think Maxis wants to 'encourage' consumers to sign up unlimited call+sms plan with data or say bye bye.So, going by Maxis' "logic", I have no problem streaming 100 MB YouTube and Iffix videos without any buffer, but Maxis discourages me from sending SMS which will slow down the high speed 4G LTE network. What is the logic in that? If Maxis can easily transmit YouTube videos, surely sending SMS is a piece of cake for Maxis, and consumes very little network bandwidth, if any at all. It is only enhancement on Maxis' ever-increasing profit, but is actually a regression from customers' point of view.     |

QUOTE(polturgiest @ Apr 10 2017, 01:58 PM) same here zzzz....porting out T___T It's a good thing that we consumers have multiple choices now.My mom and my son are both on RedOne Crazy RM8 plan (1GB high speed) since Dec 2016. I just MNP to Redone Amazing RM28 plan (4GB high speed) last week. Will upgrade to Amazing RM48 (8GB high speed + 200 mins calls) if needed, after 6 months. One more user to convince - my wife. She's still on her Hotlink Fast RM50 plan (5GB high speed + 100 mins calls).  |

QUOTE(kart @ Apr 10 2017, 10:24 PM) kmrdeva If you're not under any contract with Maxis, I believe this can be done.Assume that I am a Maxis principal line owner, with 3 Maxis supplementary line holders. Can I port all 4 lines in one attempt? For example, I become a RedOne principal line owner, with 3 RedOne supplementary line holders. Yes, it is the time to go to a place where we are more appreciated, rather than staying where we are, waiting to be slaughtered by Maxis. Thank you for your advice.  To be sure, you should reach out to your local RedOne agent. http://www.redone.com.my/support/locate-an-agent/ |
