How to activate Maxis 3G?

Another simple thing that you miss.

Just type *136# from your supported 3G mobile phone.

You’ll be getting a message saying that  ”Your 3G command will be activate in 2 hours time”

If you’re a Nokia N96, it is confirmed working!

Celcom 3G

Are you one of the Maxis 3G or Celcom 3G user? Or you’re just the one who can’t decide which one to subscribe? Let me guess, you really need to connect to the Internet on the move.

Before you make your final decision, just read through review of good/bad and slow/fast experience. Don’t fall under the trap with their marketing geniuses advertisement.

Below is some rants and review about Celcom 3G from the blogosphere:

1. While using Celcom 3G, some people can get 1.32Mbps+. Well that’s impressive, at least in this country.
2. Henstudio managed to get 2.05Mbps but complaints the upload speed in only 150kbps, slower than TM Net Streamyx. He also stressed out that modem type is also important.
3. Bloganything said that it is better to use Streamyx. Go for Celcom Broadband is you’re a student and really need to mobilize.
4. Don’t use Celcom 3G Broadband and Maxis 3G Broadband. They were horrible, said Yapthomas who choose P1 Wiggy Wimax.
5. Mytechnews was experimenting with the Celcom 3G Broadband Prepaid which the speed can go up to 384kbps only.
6. Shashinki advised not to be bond with the contract. Buy the modem by yourself for RM699.
7. Ah Tim told his experience, a survived blogger in Kuala Terengganu.

Maxis 3G

What about Maxis 3G?

Look at the charges below:

Check out the good and bad review about Maxis 3G below:

1. Wernshern of LYN blog is hoping that P1 Wiggy beats Maxis 3G.
2. On the contrary, Ozzylicious said that Maxis 3G is BLAZINGLY fast!
3. Beware of the Maxis 3G Pay-per-use. Their customer service sucks, as being told by Lankapo.
4. Colin Charles said Maxis 3G won’t work at PLUS North-South Expressway, unlike Celcom 3G.
5. Fairiz said the winner is Maxis 3G. Simply said that because its ability to download continuosly using download manager, without interruption, unlike Celcom 3G.
6. MyOrganicIncome said that Maxis 3G never failed him. Maxis Boleh!
7. Maxis 3G is totally crap!. Ayusli got another perception about Maxis 3G and subsequently leading to the termination. Follow hisPart1, Part2 and Part3.

So, who’s the winner, if both Maxis 3G and Celcom 3G are slow?

It is true, they can’t cater the best service at all levels. But at least give us the price we pay.

Note: MyDigitalLife posted a blog post about a Maxis 3G experience.

Mobility is a must. My main concern is to be online anytime anywhere. Starbucks now is not an option. I do have Streamyx at home. Alternative to Streamyx? Haven’t found any.But sometimes when I’m out from the office and home, there’s an urgency to check email. That’s why I’m looking for some juicy offer from these telco.

Use simple maths. Which one is cheaper? Absolutely Celcom. But I heard too much about their bad service.And Maxis, why they don’t just lower their 3G montly unlimited service? RM120 is still expensive. I’m sure if Maxis can lower it down to RM68, everybody will subscribe to it.

Some even says Maxis Broadband sucks with a lot of complaints!Digi broadband? Havent’ heard about it yet. However, U-mobile broadband looks tempting.This page may not serve much information regarding this battle. You may find a lot more interesting Maxis, Celcom, Digi, U-mobile discussion on tech forum such as LowYat.net and MyPDACafe.com or other relevant websites.

Don’t worry, you can always discuss and share about their coverage, promotion, plans, problems such as wireless issue or even DNS issue here. We’re looking forward to hear such complaints such as “What? Celcom broadband wireless very slow”, or “Subscribing to Maxis broadband wireless is not worth it.

Their coverage is so poor”, or “When will Digi rollout their 3G and the newest Digi broadband service?”. We must ensure that we must push telco provider.We as consumer have our rights to choose the best broadband provider!

There’s too many complaints regarding Maxis MMS service, these days. For those who are using latest mobile phone such as iPhone, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola, there will be no problem.

However, those who are using MMS non-supported phone, they need to open the MMS via the Internet.

Additionally, many confused, on what’s the different between Maxis and Hotlink.

Hotlink is just a prepaid mobile of Maxis.

Thus, there’s no difference when we are talking about the MMS services.

Maxis MMS Services is just the same as Hotlink MMS Services.

So, how do I open the MMS pictures on the Maxis Hotlink website?

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:

For Hotlink:

1. Go directly to the Maxis site by typing http://mms.maxis.net.my and/or http://www.maxis.com.my/mms

2. Click on the Hotlink logo. Please be aware, click this only if you’re using Hotlink prepaid.

3. Put in your mobile phone number, together with the password provided in the SMS.

5. On the left hand side, there’s also an option for you to Create the MMS pictures and send it online. You don’t have to compose it on your mobile phone.

6. But, if you’re receiving an Alert, it stated that your account may have expired.

NOTE: You must open the website, along with the password in 24 hours. Otherwise, it’ll get expired.

All you need to do is just activate back the MMS function. Send any MMS pictures or any blank multimedia message to mms@mms.maxis.net.my. Remember to send it to email, not to the Maxis number.

Or you can ask your friend to resend the MMS pictures back to you.

But please do remember, you must use an MMS enabled phone, or in an easy word, a mobile phone that can show pictures.
