Stay connected even when travelling
ONe of the downsides of travelling is that you don’t know if you’ll have internet connection while you are abroad.
this is especially annoying if you’re travelling with your family, and need to keep tabs on where to meet, hail a ride or even keep in touch.
understanding this problem, Maxis introduced Familyroam for MaxisOne Plan and MaxisOne Prime plans which allows all lines under the same account to enjoy data roaming when one user purchases the MaxisOne World Pass for rM38 a day.
Once the pass is activated, everyone will be notified that they too can now start roaming.
each user will get 500Mb data, and the user will receive an sMs notification when he or she has used up the quota.
subsequent internet use will be drawn from the user’s domestic data at no additional cost.
if the user also runs out of domestic data, the browsing speed will be reduced but no additional charges will be incurred.
“Maxis Familyroam is the perfect addition to our current suite of family-focused products,” said Maxis postpaid head Arjun Varma in a statement.
“We know that mobile phones and the internet are crucial to our daily lives, so we want entire families to have a seamless and worry-free internet experience even while travelling.”
the pass will also allow users to make unlimited international calls and send sMses to any number in the world for free.
Familyroam is supported in all Asean countries, namely brunei, thailand, indonesia, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines and singapore.
However, it’s country specific so a MaxisOne World Pass activated in singapore cannot be used in the Philippines or any other country.
As the pass expires at the end of the day, it has to be renewed each day the user wants to continue roaming. —
