Hi there,

Would like to seek advice from Travelers using Maxis Postpaid - 30 days World Unlimited Data pass for RM 99.

I am aiming for this, since I'm going to Singapore transit to UK, then several EU (Netherland, Denmark, Sweden, France) countries, lastly ending up in Singapore on the last day before transit back to KLIA.
Otherwise I would need to get 2 SIM Cards when I'm in the UK+EU and SG...

My only concern any surprises or bill shocks coming back from the trip in the Maxis Bill.
KLIA-SG FLIGHT 4/25/2023
LONDON FLIGHT 4/25/2023
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLAND TRAIN 4/28/2023
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK FLIGHT 5/1/2023
MALMO, SWEDEN TRAIN 5/2/2023
PARIS, FRANCE FLIGHT 5/5/2023
SG - KLIA 5/9/2023

Read the TNC , print screen what SC told u . I remember some one use maxis roaming on cruise ship end up 4k bill ( with roaming pass )

Why do you need SIM card for the few hours you are in Singapore for transit? Changi does have great Wi-Fi.

I do believe that the 99 worldwide can be a bit dangerous, but just required good planning and thinking ahead.

I’ve been using my umobile 68 with free roaming since coming to the UK in September. For the most part it has been great and has given perfect service. One of the issues, and it was the same that happened to the cruise guy, is that not all countries are covered.

When I was travelling in north Sweden, my phone automatically connected to a Norwegian network. Because data roaming was already turned on for Sweden, it used the data at rm75 per mb until I reached credit limit. I did not know Norway was not included, but I wasn’t even in Norway so I didn’t check lmaoo

I use my Malaysian sim in Europe because my UK sim need to pay £2 a day for roaming (postpaid).

I suggest you see some air sim options. I recently used it in India when my umobile roaming refused to work on 4G / 3G and was stuck on 2G.

It’s called Airalo and it has EU wide roaming on one sim

Another option is to get to the UK and buy a sim, but very few have EU roaming for free now.

O2 does have, giffgaff has 5GB limit, Vodafone and voxi doesn’t have. EE (my network) is just too expensive for prepaid and 3’s network is not so great in the UK.

Smarty uses the 3 network and they are the cheapest, and you can use up to 12gb of your balance in the EU.

Or if you want to have the sim before coming, you can buy a 3 SIM card here

It can be used in Singapore too, just don’t go wild until you reach UK soil, then you can go wild even outside of the UK

Just adding my 2 sens about the Maxis world unlimited data package. I've used it twice previously and it was actually pretty good. Never hit a limit, never really had a problem with it, and no unexpected additional charges on my Maxis bill (or at least any significant ones). I used it when I was travelling UK --> Switzerland --> Dubai and for these 3 countries it was pretty good throughout.

To be perfectly honest, I do think it is a crazy good deal - although I'm not quite sure why they are offering it because relative to other providers, the unlimited part of the deal is probably the part that is really good. But as always, read T&Cs

* Just to add, I think they changed the conditions slightly recently - now it is 2 GB high speed daily and reduced speed of 1Mbps after - although this is a reasonable speed to do basic surfing.

Ehhhh it says can be activated in Singapore... but not in Malaysia.
But I through the Data is for UK/EU only...? Can use outside of EU/UK in Singapore?

Three has roam like home in singapore, not malaysia, so can activate in singapore. indonesia too. always malaysia only odd one out lmao

Subscribed and used it .. work quite smoothly across multiple countries …little hassle …

Was considering Maxis but on their website says, if using 14 days pass and exceed the limit, they will charge RM 38 per MB. Other telco doesn't charge that much when over limit.

Really blood sucker for RM38 per MB.

Digi only RM36 PER DAY. RM38/MB is incredibly expensive.

So, it is MaxShit to the Max.
Seems like obscene profit.

You can't blame Maxis because they did write it clearly in their T&C. Can't blame Maxis if people don't want to read. They cap it at RM 3000

MaxShit has a duty to put up a notice or remark in the RM99 roaming pass that it doesn't include data during cruise ship.
Knowing that all its customers do not read the full T&C, it is taking advantages to get more profits.

Maxis did say cruise ship not included.

This is why I did not subscribe to Maxis and went with Digi instead.

Anybody use this maxis international roaming while in South America? Any issue?
