Starting from today onwards, Maxis is now offering its 10Mbps Home Broadband plan for RM 119 per month. In addition to that, users can also opt for 30Mbps which can now be obtained for RM 139.

As a comparison, these plans were previously being offered at RM 139 and RM 179 respectively. However, the monthly prices for 50Mbps and 100Mbps remained the same, as shown in this table:

That being said, these new pricings are not meant to last forever though. As it turns out, they will only last for 24 months and this is pointed out in the FAQ section of the product page as well as Maxis’ TnC section:

Once that period is over, customers will be charged at the normal rate once again. This  is similar to what TM has done recently through the leaked Bonanza Campaign as well as its UniFi Edu and eBiz packs.

Meanwhile, do take note the promotional price for 10Mbps plan is only available for new users while the 30Mbps plan can be obtained by existing MaxisONE Home Broadband customers that are already out of contract. Customers are able to sign up for them until 31 December 2017.

Launched earlier last month, MaxisONE Prime is generally a combination of the telco’s mobile and Home Broadband offerings in one single plan that comes complete with unlimited mobile data, calls, and SMS. Now, the telco is offering MaxisONE Prime base plan with faster Home Broadband’s speed.

Instead of providing 30Mbps for RM 367 per month, MaxisONE Prime is now being offered with 50Mbps at the same price. Prior to this, customers that want to have 50Mbps Home Broadband will have to pay RM 407 for their MaxisONE Prime plan.

Just like the stand-alone Home Broadband promo that Maxis unveiled yesterday, there is one big catch though: the 50Mbps promo is only applicable for 24 months. While Maxis might not clearly state in the plan’s FAQ or Terms and Conditions document, we assume that the fees will be reverted back to RM 407 once the 24-months period is over.

As for other elements within MaxisONE Prime plan, they remain the same as per last month’s launch. To know more about the all-in-one plan, head on to the telco’s official website.

What can you get for RM 1 these days? For Maxis customers, the answer to that question is likely to be a smartphone. This time around, it is not just any device though: it’s the Huawei Mate 10 Pro that will be released into the market later this week.

Of course, there is a huge catch to this promotion which is apparently part of the telco’s year-end sale even though it might have existed in one form or another previously. In order to be eligible for the RM 1 deal, customers have to sign up to MaxisOne Plan 188 together with Share Line which costs RM 48 per month for each line.

In a way, that seems to like a good deal given the fact that the Mate 10 Pro has a RRP of RM 3,099. Then again, let’s not forget that the promo comes with 24-months contract tenure and you are paying at least RM 236 per month for your Maxis bill throughout that duration.

Meanwhile, there are also other devices that you can obtain for RM 1 through MaxisONE Share Line promotion including Huawei Mate 10, Samsung J7+, Samsung J7 Pro, OPPO F5, and OPPO A71. The promo also allows customers to get their hands on two sets of Samsung J5 Prime, Samsung J3 Pro, or Samsung J3 as well as a combination on Huawei Nova 2i and MediaPad T2.

Maxis has announced that carrier billing option for Apple services has now been activated for its customers. Available to both postpaid and Hotlink prepaid customers, the new payment option can be used for purchases on App Store, and iTunes Store together with Apple Music membership.

In order to utilize it, all customers need to do is enable the mobile phone payment option within their Apple ID account settings. This can be done on iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch as well as through iTunes on Mac or PC although users need to have their phones ready to check the SMS code that Apple would send to them if they are setting up the payment method through Mac or PC.

This announcement came three months after similar payment method was made available on three other main telcos in Malaysia. It is rather obvious that Maxis is somehow the last one to enable the option but nevertheless, this still means that the telco is finally able to deliver convenient and direct payment option for Apple users after providing it to Android users since last year.

In case you need step-by-step instructions for enable carrier billing for you Apple devices, head on to this support document by the company.

It looks like Maxis has a big surprise for all of its new and existing subscribers; the telco recently added 10GB of data to all of its MaxisONE plans. What’s even more surprising is that it has remove its weekend and weekday internet split, which means that you can now get up to 60GB of data each month for use for the entire month.

Maxis is still offering the same four MaxisONE plans with unlimited calls and SMS – MaxisONE 98/128/158/188. All of these plans now come with an additional 10GB of data each month. For the lowest MaxisONE Plan 98, the data is still split into two – 15GB all-day data and 15GB 4G weekend data. Subscribers to this plan may opt to merge this data for RM10 a month, which means that subscribers can get 30GB of all-day data for a total of RM108.

As for the rest of the plans, MaxisONE Plan 128/158/188, they now come with 40GB, 50GB and 60GB of all-day data; no more weekday and weekend data split. The new plans are as follows:

If you are an existing MaxisONE Plan subscriber, you do not need to do anything. Maxis will automatically upgrade all of its MaxisONE Plan customers to the enhances MaxisONE Plan starting from today, 7 December 2017 onwards. For MaxisONE Plan 98 subscribers who wish to combine your all-day and 4G weekend data for an additional RM10 a month, you may walk into any nearby Maxis Centre or call 123 to change your rate plan; this will appear as MaxisONE Share 108 in your bill.

Maxis has announced a new Hotlink Red prepaid pack. While the name remains the same, Maxis has tweaked the basic offerings available to new prepaid users; providing what it believes is the best for those just adopting mobile internet.

The RM10 Hotlink Red pack includes RM5 of preloaded airtime, 300MB mobile data, and 10GB high-speed data dedicated solely for Facebook. It’s a prepaid subscription, so there’s not much else to mention at this point.

Maxis has also revamped its mobile prepaid internet passes for the release of the new prepaid offering. The restructured “data plans” offer a choice between free zero-rated mobile chat (Line, WeChat, WhatsApp) and social media (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and Pinterest).

Existing Hotlink users can also opt into the new Red subscription through the Hotlink RED App, by going to ‘My Account’ and selecting ‘Change’ next to ‘Rateplan’; or by dialing *100*6*1#.

Maxis is seeking to reimagine the way the lion dance is experience via its new augmented reality app, which they have very conveniently called – you guessed it – the Maxis HuatAR app.

“At Maxis, we believe that this auspicious season and its positive symbols should be shared with as many people as possible. With the HuatAR campaign, we are turning the lion dance, commonly representing good fortune and prosperity, into an accessible experience with the power of technology. Using augmented reality – or AR, in short – customers can now usher in the Chinese New Year in a truly innovative and entertaining way,” said Tai Kam Leong, Head of Brand and Partnerships.

Maxis users will need to own some of these unique and special Maxis ang paos, which are obtained whenever they make a purchase at any Maxis Centre or Maxis Exclusive Partners (MEPs) outlet. To be clear, you can’t outright buy the ang paos, and you’ll only receive them upon signing up for any package that the telco has to offer (e.g. a new MaxisONE plan, MaxisONE Broadband, etc.).

Once you’ve gotten the red packet, simply complete the following steps:

1. Scan the QR code located on the flap to download the HuatAR app on Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Alternatively, you can go to www.maxis.com.my/HuatAR.
2. Install and open the HuatAR app and scan the front of the ang pao.
3. Ah Huat is immediately brought to life on your mobile screen.

At current, the app only seems to be available for the Android OS. The embedded video also has a short video tutorial, that starts from the 1:10 marker. We recommend watching the entire video anyway, because of the pure comedy that comes from interviewing a pantomime lion.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) earlier this week released the Network Performance Report for 2017. This particular report covered a number of topics including the performance of wired broadband in our country through DSL and fiber networks that belonged to TM, Maxis, and Time.

Based on the network tests throughout the country from January to December 2017, the regulatory agency stated that all of the ISPs above managed to meet the throughput (download and upload speed) standard that the agency has imposed on them. For DSL, it has to be at least 70% of the subscribed speed for 90% of the time, while fiber throughput must be 90% of the subscribed speed under the same duration.

However, TM’s DSL service didn’t meet the standard for latency and packet loss as well as the latency standard for its fiber service. According to MCMC’s requirement, the network latency has to be equal to or less than 85ms for at least 95% of the time while the maximum rate of packet loss is 1%.

The agency further noted that Maxis fiber service failed for the Central region to meet the latency standard but then again, the fiber network that the company utilized was actually leased from TM. Here is the breakdown of the overall test results for wired broadband as provided by MCMC:

MCMC has noted that latency and packet loss issues are certainly something that the ISPs need to work on. In another set of charts which are based on speed subscribed by users, the agency pointed that DSL services were not able to meet MCMC’s latency standard at all, while only fiber packages with speeds of 20 to 29 Mbps as well as 100 Mbps and above managed to comply with the standard.

The situation is not that bad when it comes to packet loss but DSL customers with 1 to 2 Mbps and 5 to 9 Mbps packages are facing more than 1% of packet loss rate. Fiber services on another hand are well within MCMC’s standard:

MCMC has also noted in its report that certain TM customers have experienced a drop in terms of internet experience after the company begun to offer free upgrades ast year. Additionally, the agency also stated that rural areas might be facing poor latency on their DSL services if their home is more than 1km away from the Access Node.

Despite all these shortcomings, TM still received positive notes inside the report on several fronts. It includes having the best throughput among all fiber providers,  alongside its effort to help users better understand the Wi-Fi network condition in their house – and the Wi-Fi technology itself – through the company’s Wi-Fi Analyzer App.

Meanwhile, MCMC has stated in the report that the agency is likely to issue a penalty to ISPs for not meeting the agency’s mandatory standards. It didn’t elaborate further on that matter though but nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how these ISPs react to this report as well as actions taken by MCMC in the near future.

Three of the main telcos in Malaysia including Celcom, Digi, and Maxis have recently renewed their rights with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to utilize the 2100MHz spectrum. Mainly being used for 3G services, this gives them the right to the spectrum for another 16 years starting from 2 April 2018.

According to the announcements that they filed to Bursa Malaysia, each of these telcos were required to make a payment of RM 118.4 million each to MCMC which equals to RM 355.2 million in total. Additionally, they also have to pay additional RM 50 million per year throughout the assignment period.

As for U Mobile who also owns a license to operate within the 2100MHz spectrum, its license will only expire on 1 March 2027. Hence, that is why the company didn’t release any statement related to the topic.

Given the amount mentioned above, the spectrum bands are clearly quite valuable to the country. This goes hand in hand with what we have learned from the 700MHz spectrum assignment last year.

For the longest time, Hotlink has always been known for its prepaid plans but things have changed today. Just moments ago, Maxis has officially unveiled the first ever postpaid plan under Hotlink which sounds rather odd indeed.

Called Hotlink Postpaid Flex, it is apparently conceived to provide the flexibility of prepaid and the convenience of postpaid in one package. For starters, the new Hotlink Postpaid Flex starts at RM 30 per month which provides unlimited calls and SMS to customers as well as 1GB of Internet data.

The flexibility part comes in the form of the Internet bundles which are available in the form of Unlimited Social, Unlimited Music, and Unlimited Chat. As pointed by their name, these packs allows customers to utilize the apps that are listed in each of them without the need to worry of their data usages.

Priced at RM 10 per month each for Unlimited Social and Unlimited Music as well as RM 5 per month for Unlimited Chat, customers can choose to change the bundles at any given time without any penalty.

Additionally, customers can choose to have additional 5GB of Internet monthly data for RM 25 per month which will self-refresh every month. There are also other Internet passes such as 5GB for RM 30, 1GB for RM 10, and 1-day 1GB pass for RM 5 that users can choose if they need even more data.

Since this is indeed a true postpaid plan, customers will indeed receive a monthly bill and they not able to use Hotlink top-up cards to pay for the plan. To learn more about the first ever postpaid plan under Hotlink or even sign up for it, head on to the Hotlink Postpaid Flex’s official website.

Telcos in Malaysia have already begun promoting their pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The two new models are slated to be released in the Malaysian market on 16 March 2018, although preorder customers will be able to pick their devices up a whole week ahead of the official release.

Telco players teased consumers with bite size details of how they can get their hands on this anticipated release. The pre-order starts from 1st to 4th March 2018 and, as an added bonus, pre-order customers will receive a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini Bluetooth speaker worth RM699 (while stocks last).

Digi

One of the first telcos to tease the pre-order yesterday, Digi’s pre-order starts from RM2,899 for the Galaxy S9 and RM3,489 for the Galaxy S9+.

Maxis

Samsung fans and Maxis customers can rejoice as the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are made available under its popular Zerolution postpaid offering – advertising a zero cash upfront. Possibly one of the lowest monthly commitment compared to the other telcos, the Zerolution is the ideal plan for those who want the flexibility to upgrade to the latest model the year after.

That said, users can also purchase the devices via normal contract as well.

U Mobile

If you’re looking for the lowest device price, look no further than U Mobile. Under its Ultimate Device postpaid plans, the devices prices are going for as low as RM1,819 and RM2,859 for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ respectively. Do note that U Mobile has a higher advance payment, which will go towards your monthly bill. That said, this charge will be waived for auto debit subscribers.

Celcom

Celcom announced its Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ offering in the wee hours of 1st March. The Facebook post revealed that the devices will be available under its EasyPhone plan, where Celcom users can expect to pay from as low as RM95 per month.

The programme allows users to go on a 24-month instalment plan. The only catch is that you would need to visit the nearest Blue Cube or selected Celcom certified partners to sign-up. Despite its name, the programme is actually quite complex – warranting the need to go to an actual outlet. Additionally, EasyPhone customers must stay in contract with the telco for 24 months.

Moreover, for new customers and those who have been with Celcom for less than 12 months, there is an upfront payment of three months x EasyPhone monthly fee. This will be waived if you’ve been with the telco for more than a year.

Samsung has finally opened pre-orders for its latest Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ flagship smartphones. Priced at RM3,299 for the Galaxy S9, and from RM3,799 and above for the Galaxy S9+, you can order the devices from Samsung’s pre-order page and various retail partners. However, you may also purchase the phones from our local telcos and enjoy a device subsidy.

All major telcos in Malaysia have already opened pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S9 series. The Samsung pre-order deal also applies to Maxis, Celcom, Digi, and U Mobile, where you can get a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini worth RM699 for free.

Get the Samsung Galaxy S9 from as low as RM2,099 from Maxis, from RM1,788 with Celcom, from RM2,269 with Digi, and from RM1,819 from U Mobile. If you need help deciding which bundle to take, here’s a telco price comparison to help you out.

Monthly commitment of RM100 and below

Monthly commitment from RM101 to RM150

Monthly commitment of RM151 and above

Additional benefits

On top of what’s listed on the table, there are additional perks offered by all the telcos. If you wish to sign up with Maxis, you can also take up their Zerolution bundle for the Samsung Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9+. Zerolution lets you get the latest smartphones with zero upfront and zero contract. You can also opt in for annual upgrade at a monthly fee of RM44, and change to a new phone after 12 months.

Celcom on the other hand is offering these latest smartphones from Samsung with its EasyPhone installment plan. EasyPhone lets you get the latest smartphones for a nominal monthly fee over 24 months so you do not need to pay thousands of ringgit at one go. Celcom’s plans also comes with free unlimited social apps (WhatsApp and WeChat), free 10GB Video Waller, and free unlimited Yonder Music.

As for Digi, its plans also come with additional perks like free 30 days iflix subscription, and even free Roaming & IDD to 10 countries (for Digi Postpaid 110 only). Finally, U Mobile’s plans come with plenty of additional data such as Video ONZ, Music ONZ, App ONZ, and Roam ONZ.

Check out Maxis, Celcom, Digi and U Mobile to find out more about its individual bundles. Meanwhile, find out more about the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ from our hands on post.

Less than six months after discontinuing the iPhone from its Zerolution program, Maxis is reinstating the plan for all iPhone models available from the telco. This new iPhone Zerolution program includes the iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 8/8 Plus, and the iPhone X.

Where other Zerolution plans don’t require you to sign up with a credit card and applications can be done online, the iPhone Zerolution plans now require both. You must have a valid credit card to apply, and you can only do so at a physical Maxis store.

Existing Maxis Zerolution customers who have opted for the annual upgrade will be able to change to the iPhone upon reaching their upgrade anniversary. Unfortunately, this new iPhone Zerolution plan doesn’t come with an annual upgrade offer. This essentially means you will not be able to upgrade your smartphone after 12 months of the 24-month iPhone Zerolution contract.

Those appear to be the only two differences for the new iPhone Zerolution plan. Depending on the iPhone model, you can opt for different MaxisONE plans. Here’s the breakdown:

iPhone 7 32GB

iPhone 7 128GB

iPhone 7 Plus 32GB

iPhone 7 Plus 128GB

iPhone 8 64GB

iPhone 8 256GB

iPhone 8 Plus 64GB

iPhone 8 Plus 256GB

iPhone X 64GB

iPhone X 256GB

With the official arrival of Samsung latest flagships in Malaysia, local telcos have begun offering the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ devices on their respective postpaid contracts. Today, Maxis has upped the ante with a new promo, offering the Galaxy S8 for free for every eligible Galaxy S9/S9+ plan.

The promotion applies only to those who purchase either the Galaxy S9 or S9+ under the MaxisONE Plan 188, along with a new MaxisONE Share 48 supplementary plan. This criteria is pretty steep, but considering the value of the Galaxy S8, it might be worth it for some customers.

Interestingly, there is no device subsidy for the MaxisONE Plan 188 for both the Galaxy S9 64GB and Galaxy S9+ 128GB under this promotion. Unlike the MaxisONE Plan 158 and 128, where the device subsidy is between RM600 to RM1000 for the two devices, customers who opt for the MaxisONE Plan 188 will have to pay full price for the Galaxy S9 or S9+. That said, the Galaxy S8 has a retail price of RM2699 – perhaps Maxis has priced this into the overall value of the plan.

Samsung Galaxy S9

Samsung Galaxy S9+

As with the other device contracts, there are no differences to the MaxisONE Plans for the Galaxy S9 and S9+. The MaxisONE Plan 188 comes with 60GB all day data, as well as unlimited free calls and texts. Customers will be required to apply for one MaxisONE Share Line at RM48 a month to receive the free Galaxy S8; the MaxisONE Plan 188 allows up to 4 Share Lines. Each MaxisONE Share Line comes with 5GB of additional data that can be shared with all lines with DataPool, and unlimited calls.

This offer is only available at Maxis Stores nationwide, and not available at the Maxis Online Store. Naturally, customers will be bound by a 24-month contract, and existing device contract owners are ineligible for this offer. Check out the promotion page for more.

Maxis has revealed a couple of promotions for the newly launched Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. First of all is the introduction of the phones to the Zerolution upgrade programme, while the other is an offer to buy the device for RM1 with selected MaxisOne plans.

The Zerolution plans start from RM60 per month for the P20 and RM93 per month for the P20 Pro; there are three plans available for customers: MaxisONE Plan 188, MaxisONE Plan 158 and MaxisONE Plan 128.

Under the Zerolution plans, customers are tied with Maxis under a 24-month contract; with an option to upgrade to a new device after 12 months if they take up the Zerolution Upgrade Programme. The upgrade will cost subscribers an additional RM67 per month, on top of the monthly postpaid and device commitments.

Alternatively, customers can also own the Huawei P20 for RM1 if they sign-up for a new MaxisONE Plan 188, with a MaxisONE Share 48 Plan Line. Similarly, the P20 Pro can be purchased for RM1 when customers sign-up for a new MaxisONE Prime plan.

The deal is only available at Maxis Stores. Additionally, this offer is only open to new customers; as Maxis customers with existing device contract are unfortunately ineligible for the offer. There is no indication of how long this offer will be available.

Maxis is also offering the P20 with  two postpaid plans. The device will retail for RM1,599 for the MaxisONE Plan 158 with a device advance payment of RM834. As for the MaxisONE Plan 128, the Huawei P20 retails for RM1,899 with a device advance payment of RM516.

On the other hand, Maxis is offering the P20 Pro with all three of its popular plans. The device priced RM1,999, RM2,299 and RM2,599 for the MaxisONE Plan 188, MaxisONE Plan 158, and MaxisONE Plan 128 respectively. The device advance payment is similar to the Huawei P20, with the exception of its most expensive RM188 plan, which will incur an additional RM954 advance payment.

If you missed the one day sale to grab the Huawei P20 Pro in Twilight before it’s officially available next month, this will be of interest to you. Turns out, Maxis has the sleek colourway of the P20 Pro in stock right now, though you may want to be quick if you’re interested.

On Maxis’ online store, the P20 Pro in Twilight is currently available for purchase, but the listing shows that stocks for the colourway is limited. Maxis customers can purchase the P20 Pro with the telco’s Zerolution plan, or the MaxisONE plan 128, 158, or 188.

Interestingly, Maxis isn’t the only telco that is currently carrying the Twilight P20 Pro – Digi also has the colourway listed on its online store. However, unlike Maxis, Digi does not have the Twilight P20 Pro in stock at the moment.

Aside from the different colour, the P20 Pro in Twilight is just like the standard model. It still has a 6.1-inch Full HD+ display, a Kirin 970 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of non-expandable storage, and a large 4,000mAh battery. Of course, there’s also the impressive Leica triple-camera system and a 24MP front-facing shooter.

If you’re keen to purchase the Huawei P20 Pro Twilight from Maxis, you can do so on the telco’s online store. Do note that stocks for the Twilight model are limited, as pointed out by Maxis. To learn more about the P20 Pro itself, check out our comprehensive review of the phone.

We can confirm that after yesterday’s Umobile nationwide outage, Maxis’ prepaid service #Hotlink is currently down in and around the Klang Valley area. #Hotlink customers have informed us that they are able to receive calls, but are otherwise unable to make outgoing calls.

Maxis has introduced its new FamilyRoam plan, which enables all users subscribed to its MaxisONE Plan and MaxisONE Prime to take advantage of its new unlimited roaming plan in any one of nine ASEAN countries.

Specifically, the new roaming plan gives its users unlimited international calls and SMS, as well as unlimited use of the MaxisONE Plan or MaxisONE Prime’s shared data pool, no matter which ASEAN country you are in. Activating is also kept simple; only one user needs to activate the daily MaxisONE World pass (which still costs RM38 per day), after which anyone under the plan gains access to the same unlimited roaming privilege.

FamilyRoam is already in effect, and to be clear, the pass can be activated either by the principal line user or any shared line user. No additional sign-up is required.
