i am just wondering, why i am having hard time contacting malaysia 00601… always, one ring and disconnected. any reason for that? is it true that the pre paid lines need to be registered before i can contact the line.

Probably there was no outages at your place.

The bloody network was down from at least 7:30am up to 3:00pm yesterday. Being so close to Singapore, my phone auto-roamed to SingTel.

And even to this moment, there has been no apologies in the form of SMS, email or any announcement on Maxis’ web site. Hell, people can die or get into all sorts of trouble and have no way to communicate with others.

And before you suggest that “don’t blow it over proportions, there are public phones”, I’d say that you’re obviously not Malaysian… Our public phones suck.

Didn’t even notice maxis was down. They ALWAYS sms me that stupid KFC Pizza hut thank you for reloading here’s a coupon you’ll never use - while I’m driving.

Why? Because I top up my phone, walk around the mall, and when it’s time to drive home, enough time has passed that it’s just right for them to distract me.
