Happy Mobile is not that happy anymore

I was clicking thru the net these days looking for a suitable talk plan operator, and i discovered that the Happy Operator (my previous talk plan number) had changed its wonderful rate into a lousy one..

Before this, it was RM0.99 to ALL operators, including Maxis, Celcom, Digi, home fixed lines anywhere in M'sia including Sabah n Sarawak, for max 45mins. This is the most valuable plan for ppl who chat long.

Now, read the following latest updates:

"During Happy Hour, an extra long call up to 45 minutes at anytime from 9:00am – 5:00pm will only cost an affordable RM0.99!

Calling your friends will always be easy on your wallet even if they are on other networks! Enjoy long conversations at only RM0.99 for the first 15 minutes, and RM0.33 a minute thereafter to all networks, nationwide. If your call is under 3 minutes, pay only RM0.33 a minute for all calls to your Happy friends.

SMS will only cost you a tiny RM0.10 for each message sent. You'll still get 60 days' validity with every reload, no matter the value. So you can top-up with RM5.00 and still get 60 days of talktime. And that is the story of Happy."

So, only certain time, with only Happy to Happy number, can enjoy the cool rate. Although RM0.99 for 15 mins still consider not bad (about 6cents per min), u tend to talk over time and need to pay at an expensive rate.

I was introducing this plan earlier at here, n i felt sorry that this plan had changed its policy. Looks like it is getting harder to survive during this economy crisis..
