1. Yes (if i not mistaken)
2. If exceed 5mb, u will be charge as pay per use (10sen/10kb on peak, 5sen/10kb off peak)
3. 5MB is sufficient if you really2 light surfing, and only browse on the phone browser (do not surf using computer/laptop).

maxis is dying.. lol

how shame, claimed to be the number 1 telco in malaysia but lousy network and bad service quality. when you're number one, u represent malaysia to the world..

imagine when tourist come to malaysia, they bought hotlink starterpack to be use while in malaysia, because they had been told that maxis is number 1 in malaysia.. then they realise that the service quality is very2 bad, of course they will think if the number 1 is this bad, the other telcos must be worst that that, and finally they will conclude malaysia is bad..

my god, it is real? 5sen to inter-operator sms..

i believe maxis have no choice after more and more user ported out every day, this time they desperate to launch their very own youthplan. the rates even lower than UOX, unbelievable. with their huge profit and sufficient fund im sure they can sustain with those rates..

digi and celcom must find a new strategy.. this time hotlink will definitely beat down their competitor. with current situation (hotlink still control the market share), im afraid digi/celcom will loose.

on their website, it said the student ID is required to register..

extra plan
- slightly cheaper call rates
- 60sec/chargin block

basic plan
- slightly expensive call rates
- 30sec/chargin block

yout club plan
- very cheap call rates
- 30sec/chargin block

am i correct?

no, i read on their website, the basic plan is 30sec charging block.. if the basic plan also 60sec block then no point people want to opt that plan.

i think their marketing strategy is, extra plan is targeted to people who love to make a long call, so they decrease the call rates but still using 60sec charging block,

while basic plan is targeted to anyone make a short calls, the call rates is little bit expensive but they change the charging block to 30sec.

Extra plan is cheaper but charging block 60sec
Basic plan is expensive but charging block 30sec

so you have to choose, maxis is very smart in maximise profit.

i know maxis got so many complain after using 60sec charging block last year.. and the pressure force them to come out with these new plan..

they reluctant to change back to 30sec block because they currently enjoying overcharging their users, so some 'smart' marketing guy in maxis come out with this idea

why dont we change back to 30sec chargin block to stop people angry (with basic plan), but at the same time we offer another new plan with slightly cheaper call rates with 60sec chargin block (extra plan)..

im sure most people will interested to subscribe extra plan because it cheaper.. so at the end, we still win because can still continuing enjoying extra profit with 60sec charging block..

and at the same time, those customer who like to complain very much can simply stick to the basic plan.. no more complain, so we can improve our reputation back..

at the end, maxis 2 - 0 consumer. maxis won!

sure, digi/maxis/celcom is a business company.. not non-profit organisation lol... but we as a consumer have to become smart and find the most suitable plan for ourself, that can give most benefit to us..

there is no downtime, because u can still use digi while your MNP request in process.

may i know why you want to port back? is that because of HYC?

i cannot stop laughing when reading this blog, the conversation with maxis CS.. lol..

i think with that situation u better use postpaid lor..

if you ask me, i would say maxis should not charge anything, instead they should offer CHEAPER price..

why?

1) they don't need to print physical card reload
2) they don't need to pay 'komisyen' to dealer who should selling the reload
3) the postpaid user who help to reload any hotlink number is helping to increase hotlink ARPU

so why postpaid user being charge 50sen to help them (maxis)?

haha, im not sure about that.. the reload prepaid credit from postpaid line should considered under postpaid revenue or prepaid revenue.. quite confuse lol
