So say you're the head of the house and have a family of four, your children's or parents' smartphone is dying out and it's time to get to a new one. Giving them your secondhand phone sounds like a good idea, but when you think about it, the lifespan of the secondhand phone is short and you’ll have to repeat the same cycle again. There are additional risks to think about as well, using an outdated operating system leaves their digital security vulnerable. the small memory capacity also does not allow them access to all the big apps now. With this, you shouldn't compromise your family’s needs. They deserve better than a secondhand phone!

For RM48/month, MaxisONE Share could be your best solution. Having a shared line is one thing, but Maxis levelled it up further by introducing a new feature called MaxisONE Share that allows you to get a phone for each Share Line. Currently, it is the only postpaid plan with phones for supplementary lines. But does that make MaxisONE Share the perfect device sharing plan? There's only one way to find out, so read on below!
