i have called and asked and double confirmed.
i can terminate right after i subscribe and gotten the modem and no charges will be imposed on me (other than the RM180 reimbursement will be burnt)

but anyway, maxis CS always has inconsistent answer. i'll confirm this at maxis centre when i subscribe later next week.

Hey, i also called 1800822000 ask the same question, she told me not more than 1 year if terminate then need to pay RM200 handling fees, so which is the correct answer?

Added on December 10, 2009, 11:45 pmI think just a trick for the advertisment, because the terms & condition there written differently, RM200 handling fees waived doesn't tell properly the period. I think better follow the terms & condition that with your signature.

got a call from maxis regarding the offer....the lady at the other end said 4 months trial for free...no additional cost if one is not satisfied with the service, can return the stuffs and the rm180 upfront payment will be gradually rebated via the initial maxis account (postpaid in my case)

My friend , maxis one club member got a better offer

1. 4 months free
2. 38/month
3. probably 1 year contract
4. RM180 upfront to get free modem, to be rebated 30/month (when i don't know)

Thinking of signing for this offer.

But i don't like the T&C, it says the offer is valid AS LONG AS the user remains Maxis One Club member to be evaluated every year... sounds fishy right?

wanna ask la wats the difference btw maxis 3G n wbb...

Yes, I agree, LOOK READ SCAN STARE CAREFULLY at the T&C in the paper that you sign. In you see any sort of such wordings ie. "cancellation fees; early termination fees", time to ask for confirmation. I'm not their OneClub member so I guess i hv to try their 2-month free package!

Added on December 11, 2009, 4:31 pmConfirmed, there is no cancellation or termination fees of RM200.. In the printed contract after I signed up the package I can see the penalty fees of RM200 should I discontinue the service , but this is only applicable to packages running on 'contractual' basis. And this clause has been crossed out in my contract form..

So, no worry guys, go ahead and njoy the 2 mths free surfing on-the-go!

Got a sms from Maxis saying:
"You're selected to enjoy 2 mths FREE Maxis Broadband (1.5/3GB pkg). Show this sms to redeem the offer at your nearest Maxis Centre by 31Dec09. T&C applies"

Is this the offer you guys are discussing about? Any "hidden" charges? Do i need to pay anything? The modem will be given free? can keep after 2 mths ? Need to get some basic info from you guys before I make a trip down to Maxis and wasted my petrol.

Thanks.

read all the postings above, you will get the answer.

can give the complete info since you have actually got it and use successfully? all the posting above only give some small pieces of info, some unconfirmed.

SELECTED???
Oh my...what a joke.

As long as you are a maxis postpaid user, you are entitled to sign up for the free 2 months broadband.

lol.. that's my guess too. I am just an average joe. That's why I check it out here to see whether there's any big pothole in front before i fell in.

if you received the ''free for 4 mths'' sms then you are not an average joe !

i also was attracted to the maxis promotion lately. but i am a heavy blogger who need to upload and i heard maxis wireless broadband speed is very very slow.... how? should i choose celcom or maxis?

ALL wireless broadband (regardless of ISP), have slow upload speed. If you want better upload speed, go for for fixed line broadband.

i beg to differ... see my siggy~ this is what you can have if ur place got Maxis HSPA... during peak hours also you can get at least 240kbps

maxis bb ada angin one...today super nice n snappy...yesterday slow as hell...and i always get swapped between hsdpa - wcdma line...but when everythings on the optimum, its pretty decend i'd say....besides maxis bb has a wide coverage aint it? just that too bad it's capped at 1.5 / 3gb...

there is several tier of maxis one club membership. AFAIK, to maintain the one club membership, u need to spend as much as what u spending now, with no late payment record. The higher u spend, the more higher ur membership rank i guess.
so to keep your One Club membership alive, just continue to spend more

for those who keep asking for offer information, let me try to summarize for you :

Newly signed up maxis postpaid user (value 50 and above) enjoy :

1) Free first 2 months of Maxis WBB
2) Purchase E1762 HSPA 7.2Mbps modem for RM180
3) Pay RM58 for 1.5GB / RM 78 for 3GB data from 3rd months onwards (additional RM10 discount for direct debit)

Existing Maxis postpaid user who spent more than RM50 per month for past 6 months enjoy :

1) Free first 2 months of Maxis WBB
2) Free E1762 HSPA 7.2Mbps modem (RM180 upfront payment required, will be reimbursed during next 6 bills at RM30 per month)
3) Pay RM48 for 1.5GB / RM68 for 3GB data from 3rd months onwards

Maxis OneClub member and lucky soul who gotten SMS/calls from maxis :

1) Free 4 months of Maxis WBB
2) Free E1762 HSPA 7.2Mbps modem (RM180 upfront payment required, will be reimbursed during next 6 bills at RM30 per month)
3) pay RM38 for 1.5GB / RM58 for 3GB data from 5th months onwards

FAQ :

Q: What is the speed of this package
A: depends on coverage. This is a bandwidth quota based capping package, so there will be no speed capping if you're within the said data quota. If you're within HSDPA coverage, you'll get a theoretical maximum 7.2Mbps speed, within 3G coverage will be 384kbps max, within GPRS will be about 100kbps and so on.

Q: How long do i have to attached to this service (contract)
A: No minimum subscription, no contract, nothing. Terminate anytime you like.

Q: What if i terminate early, any charges?
A: if you terminate before the RM180 of modem cost is fully reimbursed, the reimbursement will be burnt. Besides that, no additional cost.


Q: Is there any hidden charges besides the one stated above?
A: Handling fees, activation fees, blood sucking fees is all waived by maxis. Pay only the monthly fees after ur 2 or 4 months free period ended.

Q: When does this offer ends
A: 31 December 2009

I think you should double check with this, because i called maxis they told that if terminate not more than 12 months, need to pay for RM200 handling fees.

are you sure???

Well, I guess even the maxis customer service are not even sure with the answer themselves.
Oh well...
