Maxis FamilyRoam: Unlimited Roaming in 9 ASEAN Countries
Maxis has introduced its new FamilyRoam plan, which enables all users subscribed to its MaxisONE Plan and MaxisONE Prime to take advantage of its new unlimited roaming plan in any one of nine ASEAN countries. Maxis unlimited roaming
Specifically, the new roaming plan gives its users unlimited international calls and SMS, as well as unlimited use of the MaxisONE Plan or MaxisONE Prime’s shared data pool, no matter which ASEAN country you are in.
Activating is also kept simple; only one user needs to activate the daily MaxisONE World pass (which still costs RM38 per day), after which anyone under the plan gains access to the same unlimited roaming privilege.
Each line will get 500MB of roaming data as well as unlimited calls and SMS. Once your 500MB of data is finished, you can still continue surfing at high speed, as subsequent usage will draw from your domestic data quota. The unlimited calls cover both incoming and outgoing calls via direct dialing or Roam 120 codes to any country. Just make sure you’re connected to Maxis’ preferred partner telco.
In terms of availability, it is only applicable in 9 countries at the moment, namely Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Myanmar. All passes expire at 11:59 of the capital time of the country you’re in. To be considered “part of the family”, the principal and supplementary lines must share the same DataPool under the MaxisONE postpaid.
To activate, just switch on data roaming on your phone, and you’re good to go. There’s no manual activation process required. Anyone in the family can start roaming, and it could be initiated by the principal line or one of its supplementary users. The RM38 per day will be charged to the first person who activates.

FamilyRoam is already in effect, and to be clear, the pass can be activated either by the principal line user or any shared line user. No additional sign-up is required.
