This was announced last week but due to my hectic schedule, I was unable to mention it here.
Right now, it's only available in the Klang Valley for pre-paid customers only. Come October, it will be available nationwide and for post-paid customers as well. Basically, this will allow subscribers to change their carrier while still keeping their current mobile number, which is a great thing; gives the consumers choice and pressures the carriers to improve their quality of service as consumers are able to switch for merely RM25/-
A few things to ponder here; is this service available for BlackBerry users? You probably have to reconfigure your account with the new carrier's BlackBerry website. Will the old carrier automatically release your PIN from the network?
I'm quite excited about this as I have a few numbers on different networks that I would like to switch to a new carrier. As Malaysians, we also have to t stop looking at the "carrier" prefix as a means of identifying which network a person belongs to.. that could be confusing at first. I know it will be for me!
