huhu, sadly i dont know about recent reload bonus.. damn! i should notice it earlier, or someone should told me. i dont read newspaper during at my hometown..

now free rm20 credit just gone, forever.. :-( (need to wait for next bonus, dont know when..)

yes, now it come with 10 days validity.. because after the 10th day, your remaining bonus credit (if any) will be deducted..

i think that is not really bad.. celcom want to give special gift during CNY, and you have to use that gift during CNY only. it can be used for any purpose, for call/sms/mms/video call/internet/gprs/etc during 10 days CNY..

and at the end, after CNY is over.. your original reloaded airtime balance is still there.

sms SET to 20999

yup, you're suppose to be charge rm36 (during rm6/24hours promotion till 28january) if you're subsribing the daily unlimited plan..

the rm250 charge (maximum data charge) is because you're not subsribing the broadband daily unlimited.

you need to subsribe broadband daily unlimited first, just dial *118# and select Broadband from the menu to subscribe.

if you didn't receive any confirmation about your broadband request status, please check your broadband status by typing sms BROADBAND STATUS and send to 28882 or simply call celcom careline 1111 and speak to the operator about your broadband status, before you start surfing.

Note: after promotional period, daily unlimited fee is back to normal which is rm8/24hours internet access..

is it the first month bill? first month bill normally higher because of stamp duty charge, etc.. or perhap you're accidentally using gprs service..

1. Yes (provided that u didn't use more than rm50 on your main line, and didn't make any call out to other number on your supp line)
2. Nope, main line rates is 15sen/min call and 12sen/sms while supp line rates is 30sen/min call and 10sen/sms.
3. Supplementary line will be billed separately, and the bill is different from CEP50 because the package is different.

i suggest you to check your e-statement through http://wsc.celcom.com.my so you know what is the charge for..

gprs/3g is a data services.. u can use it to browse internet or wap site on your phone, download mobile content, etc.

but thats not all, some handphone model nowadays may connect to gprs/3g in order to use it function.. for example, HTC theme required to obtain line weather reports, some walkman series phone connect to internet when u using it to retrieve song/album title, sometime java application too connect to gprs/3g, etc, etc..

if think any credit use for credit transfer, download third party mobile content, etc, will be deducted from your own credit, not bonus..

but tell me if its work

you only need to pay RM35.40 + RM21.75 only

i believe the negative(-) overdue charge -50 is because of your deposit/advance payment made, that will ofset your bill. so your bill will be deducted from rm85.39 to rm35.40 only.

same goes with your supp line, you already pay rm25 during registration rite, so that is why they deduct it back in your first bil.

forgot about daily unlimited.. yes, it will be included in your comitment rm50.

yesterday i receive one SPAM sms, the weird thing is the sender number contains 10 digits..

this is the sms

Sender: 01952977577
Time: 22 Feb 2009 15:02
Message: HEBAT!! Memei bermalam dengan Noman dalam Hotel Kuantan Inn, berita dibongkar oleh pembantu Noman. Hantar ON BB ke 36008 untuk aksi hangat. XXXXX

how come the number is 019 5297 7577? extra one digit lol.. i guess that isn't real number, but using masked sms id/sender.

sms SET and send to 20999

i believe you're using xpax mid plan.. if you think you love sms, why dont switch to lite plan, only 5sen to celcom and 15sen to non-celcom (if im not mistaken).

are you sure? what for? i mean, what is so special about today... because the recent reload bonus is during chinese new year 26 jan, and valentine day 14 feb.

by the way, my total credit is now almost rm100.. and now i dont think want to reload another rm50 just to get rm20. in addition, the rm20 come with limited validity period rite?

note: i didn't found any info about this today promotion.. could be a scam

really, good news again then

i heard complaint from some maxis postpaid user that they tied under 6 months contract, however u may contact maxis to clarify about this.

regarding on comitment fee, eventhough maxis total comitment is rm80, but u can share the credit both of you. but celcom cannot, celcom principal line comitment fee is rm50, while supp line no comitment fee, just pay access fee rm5 per month..

- maxis (total rm80 per month, all rm50 in term of airtime)
- celcom (total rm55 per month, which is rm50 in term of airtime and rm5 access fee).

so choose which suit your need. you can also opt to CEP20 to be a principle line with rm20 access fee (but if im not mistaken, u need to use it for 3 or 6 month first before u are allowed to sign up supp line under it)

i didn't get my salary yet.. how to reload lol..

by the way, i agree with you.. its like having a free call and sms for 7 days but limited to rm50 worth of call only (when you reload rm100).

i think from marketing view, it is better for celcom to promote like this (free call/sms for 7 days when reload rm100 for example).. maybe could attract more people.

but from consumer view, it is better they give it in term of credit like this because consumer can see how much they already spent the credit and easy to manage the free airtime for whatever purpose they want...

definitely.. just treat it as free call/sms for one week. i called it today's blue gift

a fren of mine reload rm100 to get rm50 free.. i ask him how u gonna finish rm50 within one week, he said he want to subscribe daily unlimited broadband for 7 days (7 x rm6 = rm42) lol .. at least he got free internet for the whole week..

by the way, this is celcom latest financial report which had been published yesterday

finally i know why suddently they are giving suprise bonus yesterday.. because of this financial result, they want to celebrate it with us lol

MOBILE operator Celcom (Malaysia) Bhd says its customer base grew by 22 per cent in 2008, the fastest in three years, despite a saturated market.

Almost everyone in Malaysia, or about 93 per cent, has a handphone, and operators like Celcom, Maxis Communications Bhd and DiGi.Com Bhd are finding it hard to win new customers.

Celcom added 1.56 million new customers last year, bringing its total to 8.76 million.

"The growth in net additions (net adds) is mainly driven by our greater execution of segment focus strategy and segmented marketing," Celcom chief executive officer Datuk Seri Shazalli Ramly said in a briefing in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

Last year, the company launched various initiatives and products. For example, it launched Sukses, a prepaid plan mainly for Indonesians staying in the country.

It is also believed that Celcom has gained a significant subscriber market share last year, mainly at the expense of rival DiGi.

Based on Celcom's internal estimates, the second largest mobile phone operator grew its market share to 32.5 per cent last year (30.9 per cent a year ago). DiGi's market share fell by 1.2 per cent to 26.2 per cent, while Maxis' market share dropped 0.4 per cent to 41.3 per cent.

Officially, Celcom's 2008 net adds is more than double DiGi's 2008 net adds, which is about 700,000 users, while Maxis has yet to disclose its numbers.

"What's more important for us is revenue growth, not so much about subscriber growth," said Shazalli.

Celcom's sales rose 10.1 per cent to a record RM5.6 billion, while net profit grew by 23 per cent to RM1.3 billion. The telecom company also improved its operating profit margins to 45.2 per cent from 44.6 per cent.

However, Shazalli was tight-lipped on the company's 2009 projections.

Chief financial officer Mohd Adlan Ahmad Tajudin said Celcom's mobile broadband business is set to grow the fastest this year.

Last year, the division grew subscribers by 300 per cent to 228,000 users. It also had the highest BlackBerry subscriber growth in Southeast Asia for business clients.

monthly access fee is a fixed fee you need to pay eveymonth, it not include your usage..
eg,
if you use rm0 this month.. your bill we become rm0 + rm20 = rm20
if you use rm15 this month.. your bill we become rm15 + rm20 = rm35
if you use rm60 this month.. your bill we become rm60 + rm20 = rm80

while comitment fee is a minimum usage you need to spent eveymonth.. use less still need to pay rm50, use more of course pay more.. lol
eg,
if you use rm0 this month.. your bill we become rm50
if you use rm15 this month.. your bill we become rm50
if you use rm60 this month.. your bill we become rm60

i got problem to sent sms from 8pm to 11pm daily.. what happen to celcom network.. it happen since two days ago..

the sms sometime succesfully sent, sometime failed.. even if its succesfully sent, the sms still not delivered.. even if its delivered and my fren reply to it, i still have to wait 10 to 20 minutes before i receive the sms..
