I’m about to rant here. For the last two days, I’ve been receiving tons of text messages from my friends (and strangers?). Some of them are forwarded messages which I never care to forward back and there are also people who sent ‘Nothing to display’ to me. After interrogating several people, I found out that this sudden friendliness is because of the new 1500 SMS a week promotion by Maxis. After they fall for that, they also believed a rumour that Maxis will deduct RM3 if they can’t finish the 1500 SMS by 7 days. Wow, double knock.
I think this is stupid. Why are people still falling for this cheap Maxis trick? First, they started with the RM2 Super Savers that allows you to talk from 12am to 12pm months ago. I think this deal was great but from Maxis, it is too good to be true. The truth surfaced later when they shortened the period of talk time. Starting from that, they started making crappy promotions and ‘millions’ of their users are still celebrating their generosity. Yes, I know. There are several hardcore users out there. And my advice is: if you call yourself a hardcore user, earn some fucking money for your extra credits or stop using prepaid! There are a lot of good postpaid plan out there that most of us are not aware of.
Me myself rarely use my phone for useless stuff. I don’t have a girlfriend to make it more clear. I only call to ask my friend, “Where are you?” or “Let’s hang out” and text them “Haha, Torres scored! Beautiful that was”. And I never subscribed to the Super Savers plan except for the Activ10 and Campus Zone which stated a straight forward way of saving. Not some exaggerate stuff like free calls for a year if you pay RM1.
p/s: I reload RM30 every month and my credits never gone below RM20.
Oh plus, I am really happy that Liverpool had gone through to the semi-final of UCL beating Arsenal with an aggregate of 5-3! Great stuff last night. It was a thrilling, adrenaline rushing, and emotional game. Liverpool went up and down but sealed a win 6 minutes before time. Respect. You’ll Never Walk Alone.

I’ve read someone else’s blog talking about this thing too. Gosh, those people really have no other things to do. Dulu2, ade gak promosi camnie. RM1 utk 1000 sms. Valid utk sehari kot. Hari tu, memang nak anta msg jammed giler coz people kept sending messages. Asyik failed je. Damn annoying. X(
Wah! Meaning, you usually use less than RM10? Cool giler. Haha..=D

Me pun just guna Activ10 and Campus Zone… Aku pun baki kredit same cam ko jgk Khalil. Sampai nak topup pun rasa malas sebab baki banyak lagi. Tapi kang tamat tempoh, kena topup gak. At least i’ll make sure my credit is functioning. Haha.
p/s: cuma skarang ni dh kurang sikit sbb housemate terdesak mintak share kredit ari tuh. Duh!

yup. sebab tempoh tamat tu la rm20 tu tak luak2. untuk emergency, rasa tak selamat kalau phone takleh call. tu je. sebab tu topup maintain.
rugi oh share. dapat duit cash pastu beli coklet, abis. hehe.

For the month I use over $100 in credit. Ugh. I guess I tend to text a lot and make phone calls mostly to my parents though. Oh my goodness. I was disappointed after yesterday game. I wanted Arsenal to go through. It was a great game though. Lots of excited. I’m glad Manchester made it today.

haha I feel you. I also never forward quotes or whatever. Whenever i receive these kinds of txt messages, I just delete them.
I just use my cellphone for emergency only or when I’m meeting someone.
