It's tech talk time! (Try saying that 10 times over as fast as you can). If you're like me who's constantly online (except when I'm socialising with other people cuz that'd be rude) you'll know about the small little voice behind your head that constantly warns you "internet quota - how much do I have left this month - can I play this video without exceeding my quota - can I visit this page without getting a bill shock at the end of the month" and of course the relief of WiFi connection.
Maxis has recently launched a new product named MaxisONE Plan - aiming to provide customers the freedom to connect and communicate the way we want to. We all know that calls and sms are a thing of the past with the emergence of smartphones and mobile data connection. Sure, in selected cases (mostly parents) calls are still frequently used, while among peers, friends, even business communications, instant messaging are preferred so as not to incur any extra charges. While in years before postpaid users worry about bill-shocks due to excess calls and sms as the end of the month, these days we worry more about being excessively charged for mobile data.
So Maxis spearheaded a breakthrough - paraphrasing Dusyan Vaithiayanathan, the Head of Consumer Business "we as service provides has benefited from charging calls and sms rates, and now mobile data rates to the users. It is time for us to give back". And honestly, I could not agree more. With MaxisONE, one does not need to worry about how much calls and sms they use at the end of a bill cycle - it's free!
Wait, what? Free Calls and SMS?
Yes, free calls and sms. MaxisONE offers a simple plan that focuses more on what our generation use - data. With a special interest of providing not only high-speed LTE coverage on top of wide 3G network but also providing reliable connection wherever there is coverage! Cheers to that! Just as much as we hate dropped calls and undelivered sms, we also hate having to reload a website or replay a video because we were abruptly disconnected from the data network.
So yes, free calls, free sms - not just between Maxis to Maxis, but to ALL network! This is great news for those who pay for both calls and sms with a data plan every month! It really saves up on your bills! With both calls and sms free and unlimited, what you only need to choose is how much data you need!
Facebook? Youtube? Instagram? Whatsapp? How much data do I need?
In the race to provide specific group of consumers with what they specifically need, network service providers tend to confuse their customers. Honestly, I am just as uncertain about my plan as the dude next to me! But Maxis has made it easy by giving you a choice of 1GB, 2GB and 3GB quota a month. Additionally, it's a flat rate of RM30 for every extra 1GB you need a month, or if you just need a slight boost, it's RM10 for 200MB, and RM20 for 500MB.
So what's the difference? I'm still bound by quota!
Hold your yappin, I'm not finished yet! MaxisONE offers something thy call an Always ON internet experience - which means that even though you've used up all your internet quota for that billing cycle, you're still connected, albeit at lower speed.
Okay.. sounds reasonable.. What else is there?
Together with MaxisONE, new devices are also available such as HTC Desire 310, Hwawei Y530 and Samsung Galaxy Ace 3. These are FREE when you sign up for the plan. Other higher performance devices are also available.
If you're also a frequent flier especially overseas, you'll rest assures that Maxis roams in 106 countries at a flat rate of RM38 per day. With that in mind, you won't have to worry about pay-per-use data and bill shocks ever again!
Great! Where do I sign up?
