KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Bernama) — Pre-paid mobile phone users may change their mobile phone service providers, if they wish, and still keep their mobile phone numbers from tomorrow, Friday Aug 29.
For the time being, this service – Mobility Number Portability (MNP) – will be available in the Klang Valley on a limited basis, said Minister of Energy, Water and Communications, Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor in a statement.
He said in two weeks’ time, post-paid users will also be able to enjoy the service.
The nationwide launch of the service will be in October, he said.
He said MNP takes away the inconvenience associated with switching service providers and consumers will no longer need to wory about losing their contacts when changing service providers.
He said service providers are allowed to charge up to RM25 each time a subscriber changes his/her service provider.
This will give mobile users choice and freedom to choose their service providers without the inconvenience of having to change their numbers, he said.
With a RM999 for a modem fee, RM100 registration fee and RM50 activation fee (first bill) we as normal user can say goodbye to taste Wimax.
Check out their package. I guess we just had to wait for the cooling off period for the price of the modem to drop. Until now just enjoy Screamyx and Celcom Narrowband. 
Just notice this new promotion through lowyat forum. Click image below for a bigger version.
Summary: For RM159 monthly? Not worth it!
Let just say we deduct the RM68 as obligatory charge just to compare the value of the laptop and modem.
Rough calculation, RM159 – RM68 (for a D68/384kbps package)= RM91
RM91 x 24 month contract = RM2184 (This should be the total cost of laptop and modem). In my opinion with a dual core 1.6 Ghz specs (not dual core 2 duo okay) you can get the laptop below RM1500.
RM1500 + RM399 (usb modem) = RM1899!!
Maybe I should be appointed as their new marketing manager. LOL
