Change to Celcom, Maxis, DiGi or U Mobile?
If you have a mobile phone number starting with 012,people will directly interpret you as Maxis user, same with 019 (Celcom), 016 (DiGi) or 018 (U Moblie). Phone number plays a vital role for everyone. Let say you has used your phone number about several years and already known by partner, friends and family. But sometimes there are a matter that caused you feel less satisfied with current service providers or operator, then you want to exchange to other operators. For sure it is difficult to inform all of your acquaintance about your new number. Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is the solution for the above problem.
Although it only trivial reason to some user, but MNP’s facility capable to provide alternative service provider for telecommunications user in Malaysia.
But Malaysia is not the first country which provide MNP’s services. Other country such as Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Pakistan, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Romania already doing MNP about several years ago.
Lets take a look at several offers from telco service provider in Malaysia regarding MNP issue:
Offer From Celcom
The most clear Line coverage
Offer From DiGi
Offer From Maxis
Offer From U Mobile
Three easy steps to migrate your current number to new service provider:
1. Go to the service center or registered agent, make application to oust your number.
2. Fill in the Service Registration form and make payment levied for the application process. You would be given with a new SIM card.
3. After your application approved, new service supervisor will inform you that your phone number successfully transferred, activated and ready to use.
However, according to Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM), only active number can be transferred to another telco service provider. This mean user don’t have to terminate with their current service provider. Difficulty will arise if user have any overdue bill or has contract with present telecommunications service provider. Therefore, pay your bill first 
For prepaid user, credit balance will not be return or evacuate and will disappear automatically once the number successfully moved. Usually the transferring process will take less than 5 days for individual number. While less than 10 days for business number.
MNP undeniably will give more benefit to user and depend on user to choose the best telecommunications service. However, user must alert because after this they will not know whether the number that they dial is belong to the same service provider or not.

aku pula, dari digi ke U-mobile. Digi buat mase ni takde video calls. Nak switch to line yg ade video calls support. Maxis mahal, celcom mahal…tapi…U-mobile, Video atau Voice calls charge 0.2 sen sesaat. Ingat, bukan “2 sen” tau tapi “0.2″ sen sesaat and tak charge calls ikut block macam Maxis, Digi, Celcom dll. Klau Maxis u gune 61 saat, dia charge ikut block. Tapi kalau u-mobile, die cume charge 0.2 sen x 61 saat, so u cume kene charge 12.4 sen. oh ye, kalau takde u-mobile punye line kat mane2 area, Celcom dah covered coz u-mobile dgn Celcom ade deal on coverage…so tak takut pasal coverage dah.

@Fish.40 : Aik..phone u problem kot..try cek balek..hihi..
@digi-to-u : Waaa..ini dia, sape mau tuka ke U-Mobile bleh la contact2 digi-to-u Rasenye die nie dealer U-Mobile kot..hihi..tapi mmg murah la U-Mobile, tp terpulang kpd anda semua..pilihan di tangan anda..:D

But I hope Celcom improve their so called high speed broadband.. tibe2 plak..
Oct 12, 20092:03 pm
I used Maxis since 2002. I got main line + subline for my wife. Every month paid RM 189. Pay buta only because I don’t use it so frequent as last time. Cannot change package because of contract. Never mind. BUT I use Maxis since 2002. I never default my payment. BUT Since 2002, nothing was given to me as TOKEN! By 22nd Nov, my contract will end. I will change to DIGI or CELCOM. I not decide yet which one but I definitely will change from maxis. Coverage so poor even in town area. Talk not even 3 second , cut off already. I think they deliberately do it to cheat us money. I will test with other telco and if they can offer me better Broadband package, I will change the broadband too. Currently, I paid nearly RM 320 to maxis every month. THis money would be better spent if not given to maxis. BYe Bye maxis…

Chow, I suggest u to use celcom 1+5 package. I am not Celcom agent, but from my experience Celcom give us better package than other telco.
Celcom 1+5, main line = RM50 per month (minimum) + subline RM5 (minimum). If you want, you may opt either Broadband Advance or Basic package as a VAS on top of your current Voice plan and no upfront payment is required.
By the way, Digi offer great offer as well but, the main disadvantage of Digi was 3G….no 3G, no video call..then, no point we use Blackberry or any Nokia E-Series if we can’t make video call..hehe

Celcom tak payah pakai la… dah guna same number from celcom for last 5 years… masuk 2nd bill jer terus kena potong, no exception… dah a few times dah jadik so kalau bayar bill cepat boleh lah ambik celcom… kalau terbz ker terbanjir ker tak payah lah pakai celcom…
i’m migrating to another service… sales/agent do your thing…
Nov 24, 20094:09 pm
Klu tak bayar bil, mana2 telco pon potong..’Potong’ pun potong klu tak baya bil..hehe
Nov 28, 200912:59 pm

Dec 21, 20096:13 pm

hi all,
my questions might sound funny, but i seriously don’t understand about ‘charging u at 1 second, 30 second or 60 seconds per block’. can someone explain.
i am looking for cheapest plan for couples, i am using postpaid for years and my bf is using digi. i pay around RM200 – RM250 per month to maxis. at first he plan to switch to maxis family plus, then we both plan to swith to celcom. we make lots of phone calls and we text each other a lot. i’ve read an article, U mobile sound like giving a good deal too. So i am torn, which one should i choose. any help?
Jan 30, 20104:46 pm
Hi Cuppies, I personally use Celcom 1+5 with my gf and my other 2 friends. It is really great plan. Text, voice, mms and even video call are totally FREE between my gf, my 2 friends and me (1200 minutes/month). About the fees (minimum):
Main : RM50 / month
Sub: RM 5 / month (each sub – up to 5 sub)
It still worth to pay RM50/month than RM200-RM250 / month.
Feb 11, 20103:27 am
Thank u far east, i am considering to convert to digi very soon. both of us went to digi counter, i think digi provide very attractive packages for couples & family too because they didnt limited the voice call and the text messages per month but with a lil extra cost for sub.
main : RM50/month
sub: RM30/month

celcom line yang paling bagus, kalau tak nape dia dapat axiata group. mak dan ayah saya guna celcom sejak dah lama, habis sekolah mak saya belikan no celcom kat saya,bila dah keje saya tukar jadi line plan pospaid c500 minutes,untuk keluarga, saya tukarkan plan 1+5 lebih jimat.Saudara mara saya pun semua guna celcom,dimana pedalaman pun tak jadi masaalah.Celcom tak pernah mendatangkan masaalah pada kami sekeluarga..thank you celcom.
