News & Reviews:   Maxis

While some states are currently in CMCO or EMCO, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has just announced in their Facebook that our local telcos are once again giving away 1GB of internet data for free. This initiative will be done every day until 31 December 2020.

Looks like Maxis has finally rolled out the VoLTE feature, which is now available in Malaysia starting from today onwards. With that said, it is best to note that only select smartphones support VoLTE for now with possibly more coming in the future.

It seems that Maxis briefly unveiled the VoLTE feature on their official website, showcasing the features and benefits the technology provides such as high-quality calls, fast call setup, as well as seamless switching between voice and video calls. However, for some odd reason, Maxis decided to take down all mentions of VoLTE on their website which might hint that the pages were not supposed to be up until a later date.

Just yesterday, we reported that some local telcos including U Mobile, Celcom and Maxis were fined by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for having fake prepaid SIM card registration. In responding to the matter, Celcom has reached out to us with an official statement below.

Today, we saw an interesting tweet from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) about fake prepaid SIM card registration. Apparently, these fake prepaid SIM cards came from U Mobile, Celcom, Tune Talk, Maxis, YTL Communications and Tone Plus without verifying user information. 

Just earlier this month, Opensignal named U Mobile as one of the most improved global networks in the Mobile Network Experience Global Awards (which most of you still can't believe, lol). With that, we wondered if the orange telco has shifted their position or not if compared with the other local telcos. Well, wonder no more - we now have the Malaysia Mobile Network Experience Report by Opensignal as of September 2020.

Now it's possible for you to get up to a 65-inch Samsung 4K TV at the price of RM1 a month when you sign up for a Maxis Fibre and Postpaid plan, starting from today onwards. Do note that if you’re interested in getting the 65-inch Samsung 4K TV, you’re required to sign up for a Maxis Fibre plan that’s priced at RM219 and above, while signing up for a plan cheaper than the price mentioned will get you a 50-inch Samsung 4K TV instead.
