Today I moved over to the yellow side. The migration from Maxis to Digi was done smoothly and successfully. I’d like to commemorate this by writing a breakup letter to Maxis.

Dear Maxis,

It’s been more than 6 years that we’ve been together. The journey has been filled with lots of heartache, especially when I’m at home. During those years when Dave had to call me, I either had to walk out of the house, into the garden compound or remain still at the edge of my bed in my room on the upper floor of our terrace house so I could hear Dave say “I love you” clearly without him sounding like he’s in West Africa and I’m in North China.

All those crazy roaming charges my Boss had to pay whenever we went overseas for work, I’m sure he’s glad that we finally can say bye bye to escalating operational costs of staff phone bills at our events.

I’m also glad that I will stop receiving spam SMSes from you guys about Akademi Fantasia and how to download free chart topping Malay/Chinese ring tones.

You had the chance of saving me from falling into the arms of the Yellow Man. When I was at your Customer Service centre in Sunway Pyramid, all I wanted to do was to cancel my international roaming service and get my security deposit back. I was told that I could only get my money back if I terminate my account. I then asked, “Does that mean if I switch, I can get my money back?”

Your friendly (and blur) customer service consultant just replied, “Yes.”

I hope this wasn’t a bad breakup, I still carry your 012 prefix in memory of you. And, oh yeah, can I please have my RM 1,150 security deposit back? ASAP?

Okthxbai.
