When I was 17 my Dad gave me a hand phone with a 017 ADAM number. I have been using the same number for the past 10 over years. It was registered under his name then. It is still under his name because I’m just too lazy to get it changed. Since then ADAM has been sold and resold a couple of times. Then in the end it was acquired by Maxis.
Whenever I need to find out something or make any changes to my call plan, I have to pretend to be my Dad. Today I called them up inquiring about a sub line for Dawn. So this is how my conversation went:
-
Fawked: Hi, I would like to inquire about a sub line.
-
Maxis: I will need some verification sir. What’s your name?
-
Fawked: Mr. John
-
Maxis: IC number?
-
Fawked: X5XXX-XX-XXXX
-
Maxis: Billing address?
-
Fawked: Number 42 Jalan… What’s our damn address?
-
Brother: It’s 42 Jalan 3 Taman Cheras stupid idiot.
-
Fawked: 42 Jalan 3 Taman Cheras
-
Maxis: Ok… Thanks for the verification sir.
-
Fawked: If I want to register a sub line do I need to go to a Maxis centre personally?
-
Maxis: Yes sir.
-
Fawked: What if I send my son there is it alright?
-
Maxis: You can’t sir, they will reject your application. You must go personally.
-
Fawked: Oh ok… The problem is my son is using the number.
-
Maxis: You still need to come for verification purposes sir.
-
Fawked: Ok. Then can I convert a pre-paid number to a sub line?
-
Maxis: Yes you can sir.
-
Fawked: The owner of the pre-paid have to go to the Maxis centre as well?
-
Maxis: Yes sir, there they will give a new sim card.
-
Fawked: So I have to go to the Maxis centre with my girlfriend to get a sub line? Is there no other way?
-
Maxis: Your girlfriend sir?
-
Fawked: Err I meant my daughter.
-
Maxis: I’m sorry sir but you and your daughter have to go to the Maxis centre to register the sub line and get a new sim card.
