Find it annoying that most of Maxis phone packages all requires you to sign up for a postpaid plan along with a separate data plan? The telco has finally just introduced its SurfMore plans targeted at heavy internet users from as low as RM50/month. SurfMore75 comes with 5GB of mobile internet while SurfMore50 comes with 2GB. Both plans only come with internet so for calls and SMS, it’ll be based on pay-as-you-use at 12sen/minute to the same network and 20sen/min to other networks; 5sen/SMS to the same network and 15sen/SMS to other networks. The new SurfMore plans are based on the telco’s former Internet Value Plan that have the same price of either RM50 or RM75, but comes with more data – 33% more data for SurfMore50 and 43% more data for SurfMore75.
With the announcement of the new SurfMore plans, Maxis also introduced phone bundles for devices – the Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Note 10.1 and even the iPhone 4S.
Available with a 12- or 24-months contract, get the Note II from RM1,399; S III from RM1,099, Note 10.1 from RM1,399 or the iPhone 4S 16GB from RM1,049. The bundles are as follows:
