ramuk, you got the Maxis Broadband and try to make calls? is it the one with modem or the Data Unlimited?

where cheap to buy a modem? is it worth it for Celcom Prepaid?

Read the info on the website. It should be without the contract (ie no commitment), and there is a penalty of 200 if terminated early. But im not sure for without modem.
*
Yes this one apparently is different...they dont have activation fee (normally RM100). You just pay RM78 for first month upfront and you are good to go. No more RM200 handling fee too...making it TRUELY no contract! (i'm just copying whatever on the website)

plus do the direct debit thingy and you save RM10 every month

anyone using this one? compatible to all modems right?

Does anyone know WHEN is MAXIS going to UPGRADE their service... and remove the CAP.. im sure its annoying everyone. 3GB is too little.. =.=''

and the unrealiability of the connection during peak hours.... =.='' It drops like crazy... even streamyx does better than maxis, and maxis is overrated. =.=''.. sobz...
*
My experience with Maxis has been sucky previously (use in Keramat and Damansara), but lately it's getting better though...maybe they are upgrading it by phases...KV is congested and wireless technology is like that i think when you have a lot of people using it rclxub.gif

Recently used in Alor Setar and Ipoh and its damn great (bless the non congested network of other areas) tongue.gif

Also agree that 3GB may not be enough...cmon Maxis hear us out! Upgrade the CAP! vmad.gif

May i know after the 12 months contract, the Maxis Wireless Modem is belong to ours or still need to give back if terminate the contract after that..??
and can we halt the service for few month during the contract period..??
*
we have to return the modem...that's where the lifetime warranty kicks in...the modem belongs to Maxis thus you can change them at the centre if we have any defects...

went to KLCC just now and saw the new modem...similar to Celcom but they have various plans (according to volume usage 1.5GB, 3GB, 6GB and 12GB) And the PC Fair promo is ON!!! nod.gif

Both options are with contract. Device means the Modem. So one option with modem, one without.

Thanks for replying & the modem recommendations smile.gif

From what i understand, the device one has handling fee of RM200 if you terminate within 12 months
For the no device (Advance Lite), you only pay RM68 upfront. Then you can terminate anytime if you dont like it. My suggestion is the same - try it out first with no device, but you have to buy modem tho. Or use your phone to test out the speed nod.gif

At least now we can manage our internet usage with this Prepaid thingy. Sometimes we just need to use the service for a day or two but cyber cafe cost you a load.

How do I use my PC to connect to the internet using a 3G phone?
*
you need to do some APN (unet for Prepaid and maxisbb for Advanced Lite) and other settings to your phone...some are compatible...check you phone guide...maxis has a step-by-step here also (under FAQ & Step 6) but quite generic cause each phone is different...

How's the new Prepaid BB from Maxis? any user feedback?? hmm.gif

Yeap...in the previous ZTE package, the SIM card can only be used with that modem
Just checked with Maxis that for all the Device packages (the 1.5GB, 3GB etc) - modem is locked (since it's rented from Maxis anyway), SIM card not lock (can use with other modem)
For the bundle (ZTE HomeValue), both modem and SIM card are not locked nod.gif
