Maxis Communications inability to reconnect line

My bill has been barred today. I made the payment via my maybank2u account. Later, I called the service center to help update my payment because I need to use my mobile within the next 2 hours. Shockingly, the agent told me that only the owner can verify the payment. My mobile number was registered under my husband's name. But the problem is, my husband is out of the country. Therefore, he cannot make the call to verify the payment. Besides, i was the one who made the payment. I have all the payment details. I can also give all the required information on my husband's behalf for verification purpose. I don't understand why they cant understand my situation. I have no trouble asking them to update my payment previously. I'm not sure if this a new procedure what so ever but it really frustrates me.
Please advice me on the relevance of this new procedure to be introduced? And why can't they show more tolerance?

Lots of people saying that they already used MAXIS for a very long time but they don't know that their being "fool" by MAXIS...why...maybe you will say why I am saying like that...correct ? so I will explain and reveal all
and i called it " THE SHOCKING TRUTH PART"
and this is the reading material for you to read so you can be sure about the product.and also you can
see by your self at :http://www.celcom.com.my/celcomexec/plans/mnp_overview.php
so after you read and do your calculation you will become "OPEN MINDED"
and also I want to explain a little bit more :
that in this program you don't worry coz this is real promo from us to a few selected customers.
The Benefit are like these :
1. you get 10 RM Cashback/ month whole one year that mean 120 RM a year for you.
2. you get upto 30 % Discount from your monthly bill.
e.g : if your bill 50 RM a month you only pay 40 coz you get 10 Rm rebate.
if 150 RM [protected]% = 95 RM)

actually there are 3 stages of discount
10 % = 60 RM - 79 RM
20 % = 80 RM - 149 RM
30 % = 150 and above it

10% Automatic Discount
- Total monthly usage: RM60 - RM79.99
- 13.5 sen/min Voice Call
- 10.8 sen/SMS

20% Automatic Discount
- Total monthly usage: RM80 - RM149.99
- 12 sen/min Voice Call
- 9.6 sen/SMS

30% Automatic Discount
- Total monthly usage: RM150 and above
- 10.5 sen/min Voice Call
- 8.4 sen/SMS

And all of discounts we also add 10 RM cashback a whole one year.
and about the discount as long as you use celcom.
so if you count you can save more, have a wider coverage and network.
also we do not have CONTRACT
we do not have PINALTY
we do not have DEPOSIT

so isn't great deal for you ?
so I meant if you can get more than your previous provider why not, right ?

THE BEST is YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR NUMBER.
your MAINLINE GET 40 HOURS+3000 sms/MONTH
If you have SUBLINE number also your sub also have advantages such as :
40 hours FREE TALKING EVERY MONTH and 3000 SMS.Every Month only 15 RM.Also your SUBLINE can also become MAINLINE and get the same benefits like your MAINLINE

DATA PLAN :
1 GIGA =38 RM/MONTH UNLIMITED.
3 GIGA = 58 RM/MONTH UNLIMITED
5 GIGA = 88 RM/MONTH UNLIMITED

Last you can imagine by your self with your usage every month
e.g : (200 RM - 10 RM cash back - 30 % Disc = 130 RM, your saving 70 RM )
(300 RM - 10 RM cash back - 30 % Disc = 200 RM, your saving 100 RM ),
THE MORE YOU USE, THE MORE YOU SAVING, AND THE LESS YOU PAY),
SO with your ammount every month you only have to pay less...correct...? :)
than we also have lots of rewards for you, please you see by your self at : http://mobile.celcom.com.my/celcomexec/rewards.php?id=rewards_index
Also I give you an important Clue :
(off the record) WE DON'T HAVE CONTRACT, NO PINALTY SO YOU STILL CAN CHANGE YOUR PROVIDER IF NOT HAPPY, RIGHT ? :)
BUT I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE HAPPY USING CELCOM
AND ALSO THAT IS WAY CELCOM GET REWARD FROM MALAYSIAN GOVERMENT. :)

those are all that I want to inform you for detil you can look by your self to our website that I already gave you at above

Note : If you go to Celcom by your self you only can get to convert but you will not get the rebate and discount like I mentioned to you, also you have to pay register fee 20 RM and the SIM CARD will be charge to you.
If you have set your mind please give me your reply A.S.A.P

Maxis Communications slow and weak internet connection

Maxis has the worst Internet service in the country. The signal strength is very slow and weak most of the time. And the connection is usually disrupted and gets cut off while using the internet. The signal strength is usually at 50 kbs - 75 kbs and hardly reaches 1 Mbs. So, a text page will take about 3 - 5 minutes (color and graphically designed pages could take close to 15 minutes) to load and videos of 5 min takes 1 hour to download.Video and Audio communication or Chat lines like SKYPE is worse, it is totally useless.. Such a waste of time waiting in front of the PC for the pages to complete. This is very disappointing! It is a waste of money paying for the service.
Do not bother to complain to Maxis because they will always give excuses and put the blame on the consumers such as the USB modem is defective or the weather is bad or internet traffic is busy etc It is their duty to overcome these problems since they have been in operation for years. It is their responsibility to provide quality service.
It is advised to not subscribe to Maxis. And if you are, do unsubscribe and use other Internet providers. Please let your friends and family know of this so that they will not be cheated and waste their money. It is also often heard that Maxis' promotional offers are scams and the public are misled and end up paying a large amount of money in the end.
Do not succumb and be deceived by Maxis' advertisements. The public will only be cheated by another Malaysian corporation that interests is only in profits and not quality service to the public and consumers.

Maxis has a TERRIBLE, WEAK and SLOW connection. From what I hear and many other complaints it is the worst in the country. It only works on the average of 1Mb/s but usually less than that most of the time. Also, it gets disconnected often during use and the signal strength is very inconsistent. I would advise other consumers to CHANGE their Internet providers and also tell others to NOT SUBSCRIBE to Maxis' services. There is no use to complaint to Maxis about the situation because they will give stupid excuses and put the blame on the subscriber for example the USB modem is broken, internet traffic etc. while the gadget is fine and the other providers services run much better during the same moment. This is such a SHAME and a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Do not be persuaded by their promotions because they are SCAMS, in that there has been also many complaints that they lead to other additional fees/charges. Basically Maxis is another corporation profiteering without quality service and ignoring consumer needs and rights.

The Maxis Network line at Kuchai Lama NSK is very bad. Can't even excess or very slow. We have been calling since last week and no action is taken. This happen more than a week. They said will ask their technician to call back.. No news after that. I'm requesting to cancel the package without any penalty.

I am staying at taman Sutera Prima, . The coverage is not improved and recently I found the line is getting worst and very regular show signal lost or “No Service”. My husband is using Celcom so I tried to open the same Web page at the same time using Celcom and Maxis apparently Maxis line performance is damn slow. Even share data using Celcom the speed is also faster than Maxis. I hv been using Maxis almost 20 years so I guess is the time to say Goodbye. Instead of putting hope and wait I think I change the service provider is more wise solutions.

My internet service having faulty due to no DNS line. I made report on Saturday, 2nd July 2016 with case reference number C17941059. On 4th July, 2016 they informed me via sms - only on 15th July, 2016 they be able to rectify my internet problem due to Hari Raya holidays and they dependently to Telekom contractor. Therefore for almost 2 weeks, I have no internet, can't make and receive calls, can't surfing / streaming. Can I obtain compensation due to no services for almost 2 week?

Maxis Communications - undelivered item

The one lie on the other. They do not keep to their promises. I have ordered and paid for a digital camera and lens and they refuse to deliver before I make more payments to them, which I was not suppose to pay. They do not listen to reason. I strongly believe that I am a victim of fraud and I will keep on believing it until I receive my parcel. 3 week...
