Guys,

I have been travelling for 3 weeks. I am on roaming data where the charges should be RM38/Day for data. I am fine on that but when I got the bill, it is other charges of data for RM1,200++.

Total bill is RM2,700 which I believe RM1,200 of other charges should not be there as I choosed correct ISP when I was abroad.

What are the options I have to raise this matter?

That's why never use data roaming while abroad.

The contract, RM 38/day is not clearly defined.

I'm also on Maxis but for data will use local SIM (since my phone has dual SIM support).

Is there anyway to disable the auto pass for Roaming. I live in 10 km from the border just using LTE data got sometimes Roaming status. by the week all my topup gone. I never even sign up for data roaming & now hard to do calls. I need to able to use my phone because people can die at the end due nature of work hazard and maxis way of Roaming are screwing thing up. vmad.gif

Looks like you have the worst nightmare.
Make a report with Maxis and tell them your nightmare.

Also has this problem... but Maxis only advice me to disable the roaming... that's the only way to solve this problem..

The RM38 per day is applicable to anything.. once you are on roaming.. you receive 1 SMS, or took a call even less than 30 seconds... even your data roaming is off.... you still need to pay RM38 a day.
