Maxis customers under the MaxisOne Plan will now receive at the minimum two times the data quota when the company executes a free upgrade exercise from 15 and 19 of November. Across the board, customers will get more data, for free.

If you are getting tired topping up your prepaid service every week due to the validity period, TuneTalk is here to the rescue. They have just introduced a new prepaid plan that is valid for a year! Better yet, it comes with 36GB of data, or around 3GB a month. 

If your calls and data service with your telco is spotty these days – don’t be too alarmed. It is mainly due to the current exercise of spectrum re-allocation between the major telecommunications companies in Malaysia. The telcos involved are Maxis, Celcom and Digi.
