News & Reviews:   Maxis package

While Maxis has already started their Festive Sale with the HTC One, Huawei Ascend Y511, Samsung Galaxy Ace 3and Samsung Galaxy Y Neo, the list doesn't yet have a tablet or phablet which Maxis are changing with the addition of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 LTE version and Asus Fonepad HD 7. The Tab 3 8.0 is going from RM699 while the Fonepad HD 7 is going from RM399. As with the previous Festive Sale offer, the plans are fairly affordable but you have to sign up for a 24-month postpaid contract so check out the table and links in the article for more details.

With Christmas gift giving just around the corner, Maxis are currently offering a number of affordable smartphones from as low as RM0 with their Festive Sale. This includes the HTC One, Huawei Ascend Y511, Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 and Samsung Galaxy Y Neo provided you sign up for a 24-month contract with either the TalkMore28 or TalkMore48 plans packaged with a mobile internet plan. Both plans are also quite affordable and should make for a good value present come Christmas time except for perhaps the HTC One, the only premium smartphone in the bunch but the price is quite good considering the still rather high price it retails for.
