MCP Premium SMS - Rates & Charges
1.  Short Code Charges
  MCP programme requires Content Provider to acquire a short code. The charges for short code are:
One time set up fee of RM2,000.
Monthly Rental RM500 per short code.
   
2.  Transport Fee
 

Fixed at RM0.15 per Mobile Originator Message. Maxis retains all Mobile Originator Message charges to customers.
   
3.  Content Fee
 

Content Fee can range from RM0.30 to RM10.00.

The premium Mobile Terminator Message is shared between Content Provider and Maxis with the following apportionment:
58% received by Content Provider, and
42% to Maxis.

     
  Example: 
  If content provider charges RM1.00 for a mono ring tone, 
 

    Customer pays RM1.15 (Mobile Originator Message of RM0.15 + Mobile Terminator Message of RM1.00)
    Maxis gets RM0.57 (RM0.15 from the Mobile Originator Message + 42% of Mobile Terminator Message)
    Content Provider or aggregator gets RM0.58 (58% of the Mobile Terminator Message)
 
   
  Each month, MCP is entitled to send (to MCP’s client) an equivalent number of Mobile Terminator (MT) message(s) for every Mobile Originator (MO) message(s) received from MCP’s client (with no premium value attached) at no cost. Excess total number MT messages for that month will be charged based on band of use as per Bulk SMS pricing table below:

Band of Usage  Unitary Price Per SMS (RM)
First 0 – 25,000  0.095
Next 25,001 – 50,000  0.085
Next 50,001 – 100,000  0.075
Next 100,001 – 250,000  0.065
Next 250,001 – 500,000  0.055
Next 500,001 – 3,000,000  0.050

     
  Example: 
  If 21 MO messages are received by a particular MCP for the month of June, that MCP is entitled to send 21 MT messages for free during the same month at no cost. The 22nd MT message would be charged.

For those who thinks telco should not be blamed for the wrongful charges, THINK AGAIN!

Can we ban them permanently? I contacted Hotlink, they can only help me unsubscribe, and cannot be blocked. doh.gif

Their modus operandi is they'll send a SMS and said you'll be subscribed to the content if you are NOT opting out. Wtf is this crap? If in Europe, they probably in big trouble.
