Maxis 4G Devices (Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC One XL)

The first telco to introduce 4G LTE in Malaysia has now launched their first 2 products package, namely the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC One XL. Both devices supports 2600MHz LTE bandwidth in which Maxis 4G LTE is running on. Unfortunately not many 4G LTE devices in Malaysia supports the 2600MHz band. For example, the iPhone 5 does not.
During the launch, both devices will only be available in Maxis KLCC and TTDI. LTE coverage are limited at the moment.

Maxis New MNP Promotions

Maxis is offering a port-in packages which include iPhone 4S, HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy Note and Nokia Lumia 900. The only downside is that you will have to fork out an upfront payment of RM1500 if you're planning on getting a iPhone 4S or RM1000 for the others.
The port-in or MNP will require a 24 months contract with the Maxis Value Plus 50 + 1GB Mobile Internet Plan. That is RM50 and RM48 respectively. For a complete 24 month contract, you will be paying (RM50 + RM48) x 24 + RM799 = RM3151 for the iPhone 4S.

As for Samsung Galaxy Note, total payment on the 24 months contract would be (RM50 + RM48) x 24 + RM599 = RM2951.
In comparison with the usual plan, for a Samsung Galaxy Note with the same Value Plus 50 and 1GB data plan, you will be paying (RM50 + RM48) x 24 + RM1449 = RM3801. You would have saved RM850 with the MNP port-in package.

The offer is valid not only for MNP applications but to existing Maxis postpaid customers as well.

Do You Have Problems With Your HTC One S Chipping Out?

HTC is reporting to replacing the HTC One S immediately upon return of your device to the location that you had purchased it from. It will be a 1-to-1 replacement terms but usually in a standard country related terms.

"HTC is committed to delivering a high quality product and great experience for all our customers. There have been a few, isolated reports of this issue. The finish on the One S was laboratory tested as being at a hardness similar to ceramic. While that's hard, it doesn't mean it's impossible to damage. Regardless, HTC takes quality very seriously and are providing all customers with an immediate fix and we are implementing some small changes to ensure customers do not experience this issue in the future."

Currently in Malaysia, we only have HTC One X and HTC One V. Hopefully there isn't any problems with the other two siblings.

HTC One Series Plan Comparison (Maxis, DiGi, Celcom, U Mobile)

As promised, the table above shows the comparison between Maxis, DiGi, Celcom and U Mobile with the different plans offered for the latest HTC One Series smartphones.
Take note that the comparison is only based on the minimum committed contract period with the lowest monthly plan offered.

At a glance, we will see that Maxis is the one which is the most expensive (RM2835) upon completion of the 12 months contract. You get Value First plan which basically provides RM30 worth of calls and SMS. Among the 4 telcos, the phone rebate for Maxis is the lowest, which in this case is RM1899. One thing to highlight is that Maxis provides 24 months warranty for the devices. Also, there is no upfront payment required.

Second in place is Celcom at RM2754 upon completion of 12 months contract. Celcom provides Celcom Exec 50 which includes RM50 worth of calls and SMS. As to why the price is quite close to Maxis (only RM81 difference), Celcom provides more rebate on the device itself.
Celcom too provide PPU (pay per use) possibility but without contract. That's the reason why you see the device price is RRP at RM2099. But there is a special rebate of RM10/month if you opt for this plan. PPU means you pay as per usage for your calls and SMS. This is good for people who seldom call or hardly send any conventional SMS since there is Whatsapp available nowadays.

DiGi on the other hand provides the most affordable package with a total commitment of RM2215 upon 12 months. As DiGi usually does it, they offer PPU package with a monthly commitment of RM43 per month after registration of auto-billing.

U Mobile was one of the first to announce the HTC One Series registration of interest. With the plan U28, it sums up to have RM2431 upon 24 months contract. Take note that U Mobile only offers 24 months contract. Calls and SMS are PPU concept but with U28 plan, it provides 100 free SMS (same network) and 200 SMS (different network).
