haha, how many modem do u want to hav? u already have your current modem, and at the same time u also using your unused handphone to surf internet (that actually can be use a modem too).. now u want to buy another modem?

by the way, the small usb modem now only cost around rm300 average..

celcom-vodafone usb modem price at rm333, some dealer selling it with special price at rm299 only.. but usually u are required to sign up celcom broadband to get that special price..

yes, u can get price below rm300 at other shop.. average rm300 price is refering to latest small usb modem (like pendrive) provided by Celcom at their authorise dealer.

there are so many brand available in the market.. by end of this year, the price should be below rm200 maybe just rm150.

huhu, the prefix based telco is no longer relevent nowadays.. before this if i watching tv program '360' on tv3 for example, and they said please sms us 019 bla bla bla i thought 'wow, mazidul also using celcom' haha.. but today cannot be sure anymore, the number might be digi/maxis/umobile also.. oh ya, plus new operator XOX that already soft-launched recently..

XOX is a totally MVNO, they do not need to invest anything to setup their own network, they are 100% rely on celcom network.. different with umobile, although they rely on celcom netwok only at location where they still dont have coverage, but at the same time they invest to expand their own infrastructure.. sooner or later they will not depending on celcom network anymore (i dont know wether they can survive or not until that time)

i saw XOX call rates is 36sen/min flat rates to any network.. but i dont know wether they already distribute the starterpack or not..

Celcom 1+5 (1-principle, 5-supplementary max)

for Principle line, it can be either on any of the following plan
- CEP250
- CEP50 (most popular)
- CEP20

the call rates for principle is vary (depending on which plan you use), if you're using CEP50 the call rates is
- RM0.00 access fee
- minimum usage rm50 per month
- 15sen/min call FLAT to any network.
- 12sen/sms FLAT to any network.

and CEP 50 user also enjoy the following rewards program:
- for bill rm60 get 10% discount
- for bill rm80 get 20% discount
- for bill rm150 and above get 30% discount


and for Supplementary line, there is no option to choose plan.. all supplementary line will enjoy the following rates
- Rm5 access fee (fixed every month)
- No minimum usage
- 30sen/min call FLAT to any networks
- 10sen/sms FLAT to any networks

the call/sms/mms/video call between Principle and Supplementary is free up to 40 hours call and 1500 sms for each line.. any usage exceed 40 hours for each line will be charge base on normal call rates..

celcom is no longer promote xpax, currently they focusing on UOX/SOX and BLUE only..

25 and below, use OUX/SOX
26 and above, use BLUE

thats all..

haha, dunt know. but i personally so far dont have serious issue/problem with celcom CS. they're polite and treat all my complaint/feedback. the only problem is some of them is not really expert or have knowledge about celcom product. but the good thing is, i received free sms each time i give a complaint to them

last month i send complaint to them about celcom data service problem, then after it settle and the case is closed. they told me that they give me some free sms as to appreciate my complaint/feedback haha.. same goes a month before that (but i dont remember i complain for what at that time)

1. RM50 comitment fee will be converted as voice/sms/mms/video call or data (pay per use) usage or airtime..

2. the discount is calculated based on your total usage (voice/sms/mms/video call or data pay-per-use), but it apply to voice and sms only.

mean, for example if you are using voice/sms rm120, and other usage such as data (pay-per-use), or mms or video call rm40.. your total bill will become rm160, so u should get 30% discount because of having total bill above rm150..

but the 30% discount only cover your voice call and sms usage only, meaning your final bill will become (call/sms usage rm120 - 30% discount) + rm40 other usage = rm124 only

NOTE: other monthly fixed fee are not included in total usage, for example itemised billing, any recurrent charges (call me tones, sms rescue, etc), and also data unlimited (d68, d98, or blackberry unlimited).

for me, currently yes.. in term of coverage, infrastructure, network capacity and network quality

the price too high maybe true for some product (such as Xpax, or Blue).. but for me Blue is not too expensive, just a little bit expensive..

but there lot of other segment celcom provide better plan compare to other operator,

- for example their postpaid CEP50 plan is among the cheapest and the most flexible plan available in town.
- also, not to mention about their corporate powertools plan that can be considered as the most popular corporate plan in malaysia and celcom leading in this segment with more than half milion corporate/business users..
- celcom also have the highest blackberry subscribers in south east asia so far..
- the UOX/SOX plan targeted to below 26 also among the cheapest plan available..
- they also leading in broadband service (more than 60% wireless broadband user in malaysia using Celcom Broadband) because of their affordable package and their widest coverage..
- in term of business, they is the only operator in malaysia currenly holding a record of profit and revenue growth for 11 consecutive quarter and no other operator break this record yet.

so, my opinion Celcom is the best operator in malaysia.. although they have some weakness in some part such as poor website, etc..

haha, nowadays i usually call 1111 using video call.. so i can see the menu on my phone screen, also can talk face-to-face with very cute careline gurl lol... if u dont want to show ur face or you are too shy, just turn off your camera then the gurl will not see ur ugly face..

dont worry, she still entertaint you eventhough u disable ur camera

its not a scam, its a SPAM.. and the service is not provide by Celcom. Celcom gateway only start with 2XXXX, any sms sent to 3XXXX is subject to third party company, so beware..

in my opinion, cep20 is not worth because you have to pay fixed rm20 access fee every month on top of your usage..

hotlink youth club is better..

but uox have some advantages, such as 8pax got 10sen/min call and half cent sms.. and also uox got data plan daily and weekly, free careline service, etc..

1. Wrong answer, Celcom Point (Lowyat), and Celcom BlueCube (Lowyat), and Celcom BlueCube (Sg Wang) also accepting bill payment..
2. Its if over 26, not 18..

Both have usage limit 5GB per month

after that,
D68 will be throttled to speed 64kbps
D98 will be throttled to 128kbps

use celcom postpaid to enjoy more savings.. the only postpaid plan in malaysia with up to 30% discount on every month bills

hey, no update on new celcom xpax rates?

long time since last xpax suprise bonuses.. when do u think the next coming suprise bonus? with the latest 12sen/min call rates to any network with 15pax, even only rm10 bonus is much more meaningful now.. haha

yes, celcom have IMX.. visit http://www.channelx.com.my for more info how to download and use IMX on your phone.. but IMX features only yahoo messenger, dont have msn.

yes, your account has been terminated and the number maybe already recycled by Celcom. go and buy a new number lol.

the "Emergency Calls" status show that you dont have access to use Celcom network for call/sms anymore (either receiving or sending), but you are always allowed to make emergency calls (such as 112, or whatever) of course.

well, you can 'buy' extra validity rm30 for one year or rm50 for two year.. or u can apply UOX/SOX (if u below 26, and enjoy validity till you're 26 years old for free)

but for myself, i still have my old xpax number active, i reload rm3 (using maybank reload svc) for every three month (100 days), then i transfer back rm2 credit to my current uox lol.. so it cost me only rm1 for 100 day, or approximately rm3 for one year haha..

no, i mean i reload my old xpax in order to make sure it active.. then transfer back the credit to my current UOX. because if im not mistaken credit transfer cannot be use to make any number active.

if credit transfer can be use to make my old xpax active, then no hassle la coz what i only need to do is just transfer rm1 from my UOX to my old xpax for every 3 month lol...

really? then its better lah.. coz what i want actually to reset the grace period only... i dont care about credit validity as i dont use the simcard anymore, just keep it because it my first number in my life (sentimental value lol)

Added on May 28, 2009, 1:29 pmreload rm3 is available with maybank mobile financial service.. i use this service before (before im using postpaid) in case of emergency need to buy topup, just send sms to gateway (free of charge) then received the credit. celcom will deduct the ammount from my maybank account automatically.. the validity for rm3 is 3 days..

rm3 is the minimum reload provided, u can also reload rm4, 5, 6, 7 and so on till rm50. the validity is the same as physical reload card.

so it very convinient. no need to find reload shop anymore.. and very usefull during emergency. but now not actively using at because im using postpaid now, just use it sometime for my UOX and my old XPAX.
