Campuszone rates are reflected on the caller not the receipents. So if you're making calls or sending SMSes within the zone, you will be charged according to the Campuszone rate. Doesn't matter if your friend is in or out of the zone and regardless if your friend is registered with Campuszone. The caller is bearing all the calling and SMS-ing cost.

DiGi has roughly a similar plan called Community Zone. Check DiGi website for area coverage. Not sure with Celcom.

I don't think there's a roaming rate for SMS.

Reset or replace the number?

Maxis links up with content providers to reduce spam

KUALA LUMPUR: Telecommunications giant Maxis has linked up with 18 external content providers (ECP) under its Elite Partners Programme to raise the standards of the industry and to reduce SMS spam and hoaxes.

However, upon further inspection of the list of 18 ECPs that was revealed on Tuesday, it was found that three of the ECPs were ECPs that had repeatedly contravened guidelines set by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

Such ECPs had their short codes (3xxxx) suspended by the MCMC for continuing to send SMSes to the public (while charging for them) even though a customer had asked for the SMS service to stop.

When asked why such ECPs were allowed to partner with the telco, Maxis products and new business head Dr Nikolai Dobberstein pointed out that such ECPs were sometimes suspended because they made technical mistakes and not because they had deliberately set out to cheat customers.

However, Dr Dobberstein agreed that there were the black sheep out there and that MCMC and the telcos needed to weed those out.

"We will definitely not tolerate violations by ECPs in this new group. If they are found to be in violation of the rules, they will be suspended," he said.

Asked when Maxis would implement itemised billing for pre-paid users because users currently have no way of telling if they had been charged for unsolicited SMSes, Maxis head of content development, T. Kugan said it would be introduced by the fourth quarter.

ECPs are companies that provide content for mobile phone users through avenues such as SMS, MMS, 3G and Wap.

Type SHARE 01XXXXXXXX YY

and send it to 22121

No need to type RM.

They used to have it but somehow abolished it later.

What kind of rewards are you talking about? The one in the ads; SE handphone, Sony PSP or Sony plasma TV?

Me too. Those redeemed SMSes come very handy.

I got this before ... reload RM30 and get back RM12 in RM3 per week.

Any hidden terms?

I just switched over. Flat call rates; no region and on/off-peak based.

So, I guess there's no plan classification from now on. All will be the same under Hotlink Plan with new rates.

Hotlink introduced their Easy and Total plans for less than a year. Well, maybe they realize the mistakes and faster react to market demands.

So, accelerator7, do you able to fix your Activ5 problem under the new, revamped Hotlink plan?

I rather use 1312 since it's FOC. For SMS method, you'll be charged 15 cents/SMS for every SMS sent.

No more Easy plan right? All Easy plan users will be automatically converted to the new Hotlink plan.

There's no more Easy, Total, Talk or SMS plans. All are unified under the new Hotlink plan.

Guess so. That's the cons but the call rate is more affordable and attractive too.

The chart is indeed very confusing.

Would it be like an extension from the defined active period?

Let say, if I reload RM10, I'll get 7 (defined active period) + 10 (extra number of days equivalent to the top up amount) = 17 days of active period before going into deactive period where you still can keep your balance.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think it'll still under Total Plan unless you convert it later or they help you to convert it.

Just that all Easy Plan packs will be automatically converted.
