Digital Switch games sold online

tkc123 — Sun, 31 May 2020 19:48:34 +0800

Recently considering to buy digital Switch games and found some "good" deals on Shopee/Carousell.
How are the sellers selling the games much cheaper than eShop?

First kind, they claim they'll provide an account for you to download but you can save and play online/offline.
The price can be RM40-50 lower than eshop price.

The second kind, you have to download and play using their account and cannot go online.
Must disconnect WiFi after login. (Shared account they say)
And the price per game is only RM30-RM60.
Sounds too good to be true.

Does both options also mean you are playing as non-primary console of the seller's account?
Dear sifus, please enlighten me on how does this sorcery work.

Voicemail is not included in plan's free calls

tkc123 — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 20:51:44 +0800

I lodged a complaint recently after being charged for calling 121. I wonder why since I am using Hotlink RED Pass and should possess quote "unlimited calls to all networks".

The reply I received from Maxis was:

QUOTE

"Please be informed that voicemail does not include under the unlimited calls as it falls under special number.
Any calls to special numbers will still be charged."

This is the most ridiculous and counterproductive explanation I have ever heard. Voicemail is an essential function for business and personal usage so that people don't miss out any important calls. Hence IMO it should fall under the free calls category.

But yet, what I feel is what Maxis considers is not for the benefit of its users. Even the most expensive plans never suffices.

Based on CONSUMERInfo, Maxis is the only service provider without actual T&C concerning voicemail.

Is there a daily deals/promotions site

tkc123 — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 20:33:51 +0800

As an online shopaholic back when I was staying overseas, I was used to surfing a site where its users post daily deals, promotions or coupons of online stores (mainly on specific items for slashed deals) and everybody could vote and comment on or even share their experience. In Singapore, the site is www.pelando.sg or in UK hotukdeals.com

I am wondering if such sites exist for Malaysians.

tkc123 — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 14:29:51 +0800

Received a sms this morning from Hotlink stating the current RED Points Rewards will be discontinued after 31st Oct 2018.
"Users can continue to collect points and redeem before 31st October 2018 to avoid points/rewards to be forfeited.
Stay tuned for a new exciting rewards program coming soon."

Who's excited?

Modem Power Light is RED

tkc123 — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 21:50:47 +0800

Broadband provider
ISP/package: Streamyx
Location: Perak, Malaysia
Have you called your ISP's helpline?: Yes. They said the warranty was for weeks, but this is only the third week I am using it.

Personal equipment
Modem: -
Router: Innacomm W3400V
Firewall used: MSE

Problem details
First occurence of problem: Yesterday
Problem frequency: Till now
Problem description: When I was using the internet, suddenly all other lights are gone and the only one that remains is the power button light, in red(it should be yellow when working). I shut off and restart for many times, and I even use other socket to try... Pressed reset button but nothing happens, the only light that is able to turn on is power in red. I have limited knowledge on the connection thing, plus it just happened suddenly. What should I do actually to confirm the problem? Should I jump to any conclusion and change a new router instead?
