There are currently three Maxis SurfMore plans: SurfMore30 (1GB; supplementary), SurfMore50 (2GB), and SurfMore75 (5GB). Whenever you ran out of the allocated monthly data quota, you can always top up 1GB for RM48, a one-time charge. But if you find yourself constantly hitting the quota monthly, you’ll probably go for the ‘SurfMore Quota Upgrade’, that’s an additional 500MB for RM10, or an additional 1GB for RM15; both much cheaper than the one-time upgrade.
However, from March 2015’s bill onwards, Maxis will increase the price of ‘SurfMore Quota Upgrade’ 1GB from RM15 to RM35 (133.33% increase), and ‘SurfMore Quota Upgrade’ 500MB from RM10 to RM25 (150% increase).
Paul has the SurfMore75 5GB plan with the 1GB monthly Quota Upgrade on his iPhone, and received the following SMS:
SurfMore: Quota upgrade of 1GB will be adjusted to RM35/mth; the new price will be reflected in yr March statement & onwards. You will enjoy additional 2GB FREE for 3 mths fr Feb. To unsubscribe, call 123.
Unfortunately for those who rely on 6GB a month, you’ll soon be paying RM110 instead of RM90 like you did before. That’s one way to make you move to MaxisONE Plan, which by the way, has ‘Monthly Data Add-ons’ for 1GB at RM30, 3GB at RM58, and 6GB at RM116, on top of the RM128 for the plan itself.
Maxis has yet to update its SurfMore page to reflect this change.
